Hi Brother Stephen. (By the way, my middle name is Stephan.
)
Yes, you should follow the Lord in scriptural baptism by full immersion. Remember, baptism is a public acknowledgment that declares you believe Jesus Christ has died for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. It publicly "marks" you as a follower of Jesus Christ. Since you reside in the U.S., you probably won't be slain as others have for publicly identifying with Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection!
