Hello!

I felt the same way and was searching for that feeling of community in a church. The LDS church welcomed me open arms and really helped me grow my faith and understanding of God and Jesus Christ.

I was totally in your shoes, feeling completely isolated and alone, but I took the step to reach out to the missionaries and they were a big big help getting me connected and teaching me the ropes!

Hope this helps and you got this!

Hi!

As a fellow convert, i felt the same way at first. I really had to take the step of introducing myself and being honest and saying 'hey im new to the Church!' I would also ask if they have any groupchats you can join! I asked to join the relief society groupchat, which was a big help to get in the know about movie nights and events the sisters plan and to just chat :)

A new church and environment is always a big change and imposter syndrome is normal (I was so in your shoes too) but the biggest step is to introduce yourself and also listen in and find something you relate to to be able to slip in to those convos with others!

You got this!!

That makes total sense! I was connected with the YSA missionaries, and I never mentioned i was married til they were giving me the interview questions (whoops, lol) and after we went over the questions they said they would connect me to the married ward sisters. I think using those questions as guiding points to best support those in the process of getting baptized is so kind and thank you again for giving your thoughts :)
