How Do I Know If It's The Spirit Or In My Mind?

4/6/09

Question: This isnt really a question just a reply to yours asking why i hadent yet been baptised. I asked the question about wheather you served a mission when you were younger, and also mentioned that i was having lessons with 2 missionarys. This was several months ago now, and i still have not been baptised. I do however meet with the sisters regualry.

I think i believe the church is true, but i always have a doubt, and end up questioning something and being unsure. I know that i feel good when i am with the sisters, and feel real love and joy.

In response to your question as to why i have not been baptised if i feel the promptings of the spirit, i cant decide if it is coming from god, or if it is in my mind. Thats the reason i guess. However, i still love the church and believe the people to be the knidest and loving i have ever known. There is also peer pressure from my friends, being a 20 year old male.

Also one last thing, a girl that is a church member and lives on the next block down from me, recently went to the USA (we live in wales UK), and whilst there, met either your son or grandson (my appolagies for not knowing, i cant remember what she said now!). Her friend is in the same ward as he is, and invited them to a party at his house, unfortuneatly she didnt go, but i thought it was cool.

Anyway Donny i hope you and all you family are well and wish you the best.

Response: Thank you very much for your update. May I suggest you read and re-read Alma 32:21-43. I believe this will help you know, as I know, that the Church is true.

Please keep me advised.
