I need help. I’ve been investigating the church together with my family. I’d really like to be baptized, but my parents aren’t yet ready to make that decision. They don’t want me to be baptized yet either. I’m a minor. The truth is that there isn’t anything in the world I want more than to be a member of the church. It’s brought so many blessings into my life.

Hi brother. It's so inspirational to hear from young people who have such faith and so great a desire to join the church. Thank you sincerely for being such a great example for the rest of us.

It's fortunate that your parents do have some interest in the church. Continue to encourage them to learn more about our faith. It would be wonderful if all of the members of your family decided to become members of the church. If that's not possible, continue to explain to your parents how important the church is to you. Perhaps you can convince them to let you join.

If you're not allowed to join now, continue to learn more about the church, to grow in your faith, and to participate in church activities when possible. Once you turn 18 years old, you'll be an adult and will be able to make this important spiritual decision for yourself. I hope this answer helps!
