First I’d like to thank you for the answers to my previous question. They were very helpful. Because my family belongs to another church, I’m not comfortable meeting with the missionaries in my house. Is there any other solution? Again, thanks to all the mormons. Excellent people. Bye.

Hi friend. I'm very happy that you continue to be interested in the church, and that the answers you received to your previous question were helpful! Running a website like AllAboutMormons.com has been a wonderful experience for me because I get to meet great people like yourself who are sincerely interested in learning more about Christ's restored church. It's very exciting for me to see how the church is growing and blessing many people's lives!
I understand if you can't meet with the missionaries in your house. When I was a missionary, we sometimes taught people in one of our chapels. Even better, perhaps one of the members of the church in your neighborhood could invite you and the missionaries over to discuss the Gospel in their home. That would be a great solution, because then you could not only meet with the missionaries, but could also get to know other members of your congregation. I'm sure the Mormon missionaries in your area could find a solution.
You can certainly contact the missionaries through the internet if you like, but in your case it might be easier to contact them directly so you can set up your first appointment at a convenient location. I suggest that you visit the Mormon chapel nearest your house; we have our worship services on Sundays, and the missionaries are usually there. You can learn the address and meeting time of the chapel nearest you on the Internet. By visiting the chapel, you could learn about our worship style and schedule your first missionary visit. Please let me know if you have any trouble learning the address or the schedule of your local Mormon chapel. I'd be happy to help in anyway I can. I'm very excited for you and for this wonderful spiritual journey you're about to begin! God bless you.

Missionaries in Alagoas, Brazil.
Contact the missionaries and see if they have another place you could meet them at. Such as a church or a recreation center in your town. I know of lots of missionaries who will do amost anything to have the oportunity to teach a willing person. Contact the missionaries and explain your situation and see if they, or their missino president, can't come up with a solution.
PS I know if you lived in my town I would be happy to open my home to you and the missinoaries for the discussions. I'm positive that there are members in your area who would, happily, do the same.
Best of luck! And I'll pray for you as you do the same, ok?
(If you don't know how, it's just like talking to your best friend that you haven't seen for a long while, address him as Heavelny Father, tell him your troubles, dreams, hopes, and end "in the name of Jesus Christ, amen." When you do that Jesus takes your petition to the Father for you, and he's good to have on your side. Ttyl)
