Usually the process is something like this:
You will meet with the missionaries over a period of time to have a series of discussions about our basic beliefs. During this time, you will be expected to begin developing your own spirtuality through prayer, scripture study, and obedience to the commandments. Hopefully, you will begin to attend church meetings and other activities as well as meet the local bishop or branch president. At some point, you will have an interview with someone to help ensure that you have taken steps to repent of any prior sins as well as have a basic understanding of our beliefs. When you feel that you can commit to following the savior's teachings and are willing to accept him as your savior and redeemer you will be baptised in the church by immersion. After that, you will receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands.
Good luck. If you have other questions, send me an e-mail.
If you have lost contact with the missionaries, visit the first site below. To find a church near you, visit the second link.

This question is best left to the missionaries of the church. However, I will answer with what I know. First, you have to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Have faith in Him and that He is the only salvation. Second, repent of your sins and strive your best not to recommit them. Mormons have many standards, some are difficult to follow. Third, be baptized. Fourth, receive the Holy Ghost. After that, you will have to read the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and several other books. You also will have to go to Church weekly.
It is a good religion, I suggest you find out more about it and seek after the truth. Good luck.

Well like the other ones say you have to believe in Jesus christ as your savior and then you need to contact the church and asked to meet with the missionary but I don't think I could be one they like worship the prophet Joseph smith and the book of mornon is the main book. I believe in the bible so don't get into it if you don't have too. I think pray to God and he let you know what is best for you. Don't jump into something before you pray and read your bible. Because only God can tell you want to do. I know I wouldn't want to be one.

Read the Book of Mormon. When you are finished pray and ask God if it's true. I know that you'll get a feeling and know that it is. Then tell that hot missionary boy that you want baptised. He'll tell you what else you need to do. Just read and pray. You'll be able to do whatever else that you need in order to get baptised. Do you sincerely want to join? I mean, if you do, I would be so glad to like start e-mailing back and forth and help you out. It's up to you, but message me if you want to,

Take the missionary lessons, and then if you accept Jesus Christ as your savior, belive in both the Bible and the Book of Mormon, set a date for your batism.

They believe the book of Mormon is truest most accurate book of Christ and God, in the world. You pray to God and He will tell you it's true. Than you must be baptized by them, because they say their authority to baptize has been handed down through time FROM JOHN the baptist, and Jesus Christ himself. Then there you go babe, be careful tho, they don't like thinkers.
