Hi, I'm Bryan

I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I'm a Father to three children and Grandfather to five. I met my wife when I was 18 years old and married her when I was 21. I served a 2 year mission for the Church in Canada when I was 19. As of this year, 2010, we have been married 31 years. I have a small business that I run with my two brothers.

Why I am a Mormon

I was born into a home of actively attending Mormon parents. I attended because that is what children do, that is what their parents teach them. When I was 18, I questioned my faith and started my own spiritual journey. One night while being especially reflective of spiritual things, that is questions like is there a God, what is my purpose, does he have a religion established; I had a spiritual experience that converted me to a knowledge of God's existence and that He indeed had an established Church. From that day on, I have tried, in my imperfect way, to be true to what I learned that day. Although life has not always been easy, yet I have found strength in prayer and a continual reaffirmation of the truth of the message our missionaries teach.

Personal Stories

Why do Mormons go on missions?

I went on a mission because of my personal conversion to the truthfulness of the message that our missionaries teach. I liked the position of our Church where we share our teachings with those interested and do not force anyone to believe what we share.

How I live my faith

Each day I awake early. I rarely use an alarm clock. I go to my home office and read the scriptures or other religious books. I pray and write most days in my journal. I am currently called to serve with the full-time missionaries (those who you see all over town).

What is the Book of Mormon?

Bryan answered...

The Book of Mormon is a collection of writing of religious leaders that lived on the American continent. Just like the Bible contains a collection of religious leader writings, the Book of Mormon adds to those teachings. Just as the title of the Book of Mormon states, it is indeed another witness of Jesus Christ. As Mormons, we reverence the teachings from both books.

We believe in a loving Father in Heaven who desires all of his children to have His precious word. "Know ye not that there are more nations than one? Know ye not that I, the Lord your God, have created all men, and that I remember those who are upon the isles of the sea; and that I rule in the heavens above and in the earth beneath; and I bring forth my word unto the children of men, yea, even upon all the nations of the earth?" (2 Nephi 29:7).

Of course, with any thing concerning God, it is important to find out, personally, if the work is true. What better source can we trust than God Himself? Through prayer we can know, independently of anyone else, where the truth lies concerning any matter.

In the introduction to the Book of Mormon we read: "We invite all men everywhere to read the Book of Mormon, to ponder in their hearts the message it contains, and then to ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ if the book is true. Those who pursue this course and ask in faith will gain a testimony of its truth and divinity by the power of the Holy Ghost." I testify that this pattern of revelation is true. If we take the time to study it out in our minds, ponder upon the truth and ask God, in faith with desire to act upon our answer, that we will receive. He has answered me, and He will answer you when you ask in faith.

Can husband and wife be together forever? Do you believe that families will live together in heaven?

Mark answered...

This is more than just instinct. We are indeed eternal beings whose origin is before the creation of the earth. And one of the things we come to earth to do is to find a companion, not only for this mortal existence, but for eternity as well. God has provided the place, the Temple of the Lord, and the authority, the power to seal things on earth and in heaven. So that eternal relationships can be established here and enjoyed after this life is done. Do I believe it? I feel certain that these principles are true. The Holy Ghost confirms that to my spirit.

Joseph Smith

As is the case throughout history God has communicated to His children through prophets. God used a humble man as a prophet to restore His Church on earth who ultimately died defending His faith.
