As a convert myself I had some of the feelings you are having now. When we joined the church I was only 15 years old. I liked the church members, the missionaries were nice and cute, but I didn't really have a testimony of the church, Book of Mormon, or Joseph Smith.

But the feeling that I had every Sunday when I went to church I didn't feel it anywhere else. So I kept going, received church callings, read the scriptures and very slowly started gaining my own testimony. It took me many years to have my own testimony of the gospel, it doesn't necessarily happens when we are baptized, and is different for everyone. I am glad that I stayed, and I hope that the feeling that you have right now keeps you going back. You have nothing to lose but a lot to gain.
