I've been a member going on 4 years. It's the most exciting thing I have ever chosen to do. Congratulations!! Your enthusiasm is fantastic! Always remember how you're feeling right now, it will help get you through the times that get you down. Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ and all the heavenly angels are celebrating right along with you!

Baptism etc...
Well, I went to church and loved it. It was really great to be around people who believed like I do. And...I got my baptism date! Its the 9th of August and I'm already having a white dress made for me to wear in the font.

  FABULOUS!!!!! Wonderful news! A little bit of advice from an fairly new member, myself -- The Lord is not primarily interested in having his children only convinced of his work. He would like them to be converted to the gospel. Marion G. Romney said, "While conversion may be accomplished in stages, one is not really converted in the full sense of the term unless and until he is at heart a new person." And President Thomas S. Monson teaches, ..."the prime element of any conversion is personal prayer. When a person gets down on his or her knees and prays to Heavenly Father about the message that he or she has heard, that's when conversion really starts to take place...Until a person comes to the point where he or she desires to really communicate with our eternal Heavenly Father, conversion will always be elusive..."Rulon T. Burton, We Believe Receiving a testimony requires a trial of our faith. Before we can receive a testimony, we must have a trial of our faith in patience. We must have a trial of our faith in knowledge - that means studying the scriptures. We must have a trial of our faith in temperance -- that means keeping the Word of Wisdom, primarily. We must have a trial of our faith in virtue, in charity, in brotherly kindess. And only after we have had a trial of our faith and we have proved ourselves, then only can we receive the witness -- that means testimony. Until you have a testimony for yourself lean on the testimonies of your bishop, your stake president and other faithful members, until you develop your own. But beware of doing that for too long. A testimony can grow or diminish. The most satisfying thing in all the world, the greatest anchor to your soul, in time of trouble, in time of temptation, in times of sickness, in times of indecision, in times of your struggles and work, is to know with a certainty that defies all doubt, that God lives. I personly can't stress more how important a strong testimony is. Congratulations again!!
