Hello,
Here is a copy of my conversion story:
I
had not been bought up in any church or religion and for the majority
of my life it was a topic I hadn't given much thought to. However, I
had started to become curious about religion and began to think
about what I believe in. I started to think about attending church but I
wasn't sure where to start and felt too shy to just walk into any
church. Then one day in July I was walking home from work when two
missionaries started to talk to me about religion, what I believed in
and what experience I had had of church before. Usually I would have
made an excuse and walked away but there was something that made me stay
and continue to talk to them. They both had a calmness about them and
such a strong belief and confidence in what they were telling me that I
accepted their offer to meet again and read the leaflet that they gave
me.
When I read the leaflet I felt very peaceful and calm and it felt like everything in it just made sense and was familiar and that I knew it already. I felt that I wanted to find out more. On my next meeting with the missionaries I was given the Book of Mormon and began to read this.
After meeting with the missionaries a few more times they approached the subject of baptism. I immediately knew that I wanted to be baptised. I attended the church for the first time after making that decision. I was a little bit overwhelmed at first as there was a lot to take in but I enjoyed it and everyone was very welcoming and friendly.
I kept meeting with the missionaries to prepare for my baptism and I visited the home of one of the church members for further lessons, I was really looking forward to being baptised.
On the 21st September 2013 I was baptised. I remember feeling both calm and alive when I was baptised.
I know that I got baptised quite quickly but for me I felt that it was the perfect time. From my very early meetings with the missionaries I knew that what I was being taught was true.

I am so glad
that I have joined the church. I feel that it has given me direction and
shown me why I am here and what purpose I have. I have also met some of
the nicest people and everyone has been so welcoming and supportive and
willing to teach me and answer questions. I have now received my
temple recommend and am waiting for an opportunity to visit the temple.
I hope this is ok I think I have included everything.
Love from
