It's easy. Next time you see the Bishop, tell him you want to be baptized, he'll walk you through the steps you need to do. If you have his phone number, you could call him, too. Or if you see the missionaries first, tell them and they'll get the ball rolling.

Like John Doe said it's easy.

Why have you waited so long when you knew right away that you wanted to become a member?

Tell your Bishop you want to be Baptised.....if you are under the age of 18 you will also have to get Parents permission.....it doesn't hurt to ask......
