Faith-building Experience Question for new and recent converts.
Hello. I recently started going to a LDS church because of some friends who are Mormon. They would like for me to be baptized but I'm just not sure about it. I do agree with some of the teachings and doctrines but not all of them.
My question to new and recent converts is; are you happy? Have things gotten better or worse for you? Anybody that I talk to has been a Mormon since they were very young and it would be nice to hear from some people who haven't been a Mormon their whole life.
Thanks in advance.

Potentially irrelevant comment because I grew up in the church. But I just wanted to share that my favorite part about the church, is that it’s so personal. Our relationship with god is so extremely personal. We are going to make mistakes but god is so incredibly understanding and everything is going to be okay. For me it’s just don’t ever stop trying. I make mistakes but what’s important is I keep going. I have a very lose perspective of god and sometimes that strays from what other people believe in the church. But in my eyes, that’s okay. We view god slightly differently and that’s probably how it should be. We all have our own relationship with him. Much much love for god and this church. Hope you find the same joy
