I wanted to get baptized but my father said no because of the church, it’s frustrating but I know when I’m older that’s one of the first things I’ll do ! I’m 18 years btw

I am an 18 year old investigator. I’ve been investigating for a year now, and even though I’m of legal age, the family that has been fellowshipping me told me not to get baptized because my mother hates the church. The pain that comes from not being able to take the sacrament is really indescribable. Sometimes, I just can’t help but cry sometimes. It feels that members of the congregation are judging me for not being baptized. This really helped calm some of my fears. Thank you.
