I have a few uncles who are members of the church of latter-day saints, and I want to be a member too, together with my family. We really like the principles that are taught in the church, and we even had our first family night recently. I just wanted to get peoples’ opinions. Thank you, from a small town called Balleza, Chihuahua, Mexico.

Hi Chenenita. I'm happy that your uncles have been such good examples for you and your family! You've seen the influence that the restored gospel of Jesus Christ has had on their lives, and you want those same spiritual blessings in your own life. I think that's excellent.
I was very happy to learn that you recently had your first family night. Family night is only one of many church programs that can bless your family. Family nights provide us with important spiritual experiences that can shape our lives. One recent family night I participated in is a good example. It was the night before Christmas, and my wife and I were visiting my parents and siblings. We all sat together in our living room. One by one, each of my brothers, sisters, and parents, talked about their love for Jesus Christ. It was a very strengthening experience for me. I've had many spiritual experiences like this one thanks to my membership in the church. These experiences have had a huge impact on my life; I wouldn't be the person I am today if it weren't for the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Are you already receiving visits from the Mormon missionaries? If not, I encourage you to speak with your uncles. They should be able to set up a missionary visit for you. Alternatively, you can also request a missionary visit online. Missionaries are usually young men or women, around 20 years old, who dedicate one and a half or two years to preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are always looking for sincere people who are interested in learning more about our church. I'm sure they'll be very happy to visit you.
I hope that the same transforming power that has so influenced my life for the better can work in your life as well! Being a member of the church has been the sweetest experience of my life. May God bless you to find that same joy.

Another important step towards conversion is to visit a Mormon chapel so you can see what our worship services are like. You can learn the address of the Mormon chapel nearest your house online as well.
