welcome
I too am new to the site and am from Canada. My wife and I have been members for 12 years and don't regret it at all.
Missionaries are wonderful, I currently am a Ward Mission Leader and help coordinate what they do, I admire what they do very much even when we some times get one who needs a kick in the pants to get them on the right course again. Most of them try very hard to help.
Lots of things can seem confusing when you start out, take your time and ask questions. We all have different knowledge about different things and lack in other areas. Ask, ask, ask, and pray when things sound wrong to you. Members are human and we can sometimes pass along incorrect information by mistake and mix in personal beliefs as well.
The Missionaries are great for answering questions but turn to the members also as sometimes they understand the pressures and trials of the world better, and more so when we are trying to change our lives to live the principles of the Gospel.
