Hi, I'm Cindy

I was born in Texas. I love sushi. I love to dance. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I live in South Florida with my husband and our little zoo of three dogs, one cat, one lizard and two small parrots. I am the director of human resources for a small software company. I love tech gadgets, digital scrapbooking and photography.

Why I am a Mormon

I am a Mormon because I believe that we have a Prophet on the earth today who leads and directs the church. I believe both The Book of Mormon and The Bible to believe the word of God. I believe that Christ lives, that He loves us and that he made it possible for us to return to live with Him someday. And I am grateful for a Church that teaches that marriages don't end when we die.

Personal Stories

Could you talk about your baptism?

I joined the Church when I was 19. I was not unhappy as a Southern Baptist. But a friend invited me to attend church with him, so I decided to go. The next day, two senior missionaries (husband and wife) showed up at my door and I agreed to let them come back. As I read the Book of Mormon and prayed to know if the Church was true, I received an answer to my prayers and I was baptized. I remember being excited and nervous that day. And was glad to have my friends and my Mom (who is not a member) join me on that day.

How I live my faith

I live my faith be teaching the little children at church. This year, I am going to work with the five year olds and I am so excited. I love the excitement on their faces and their innocence.

I also live my faith by visiting other women in the ward and making sure they are okay and sharing Christ's teachings with them on a monthly basis.

What do Mormons believe about the Bible? Do they regard it as Holy Scripture and the word of God?

Cindy answered...

Mormons believe the Bible to be the word of God. We do consider it to be Holy Scripture. It has been translated a variety of times, so it is not a perfect book, but it is Scripture.
Richard Gaffney answered...

As a convert I was concerned that the bible was replaced by the Book of Mormon. How far from the truth that concern was, as the Bible is the LDS primary teaching tool and the Book of Mormon is simply another testament of Jesus Christ and serves to verify the truths found in the Bible. Cerrtainly the Bible is Holy Scripture and the Word of God, as is the Book of Mormon. I have come to love the Book of Mormon and cross-reference the Bible and Book of Mormon finding the same truths in both volumes of scripture.

Are Mormons Christians?

Taylor answered...

I love this question. Having lived in Georgia and having spent time creating friendships with people of all different Christian denominations. I can say with great confidence and vigor that, Yes, Mormons are Christians. All who believe in Christ as our Savior and strive to follow in his footsteps, living as he would have us to, are in definitions Christian or followers of Christ.
