Hi, I'm Tino

I LOVE being MORMON!!!

About Me

I'm 26 years old. I'm married to a sweetheart of a man. We've been married 6 years. No kids, just yet, but that's ok. I was born in California and raised in Utah. In 2008, my husband and I made a move to Louisiana, and it's been a wonderful experience. I work for a couple in my ward, and they've opened up their homes and hearts to me. I manage the office for their company, and it's been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I've learned and grown so much in the last 2 years, and I'm thankful for all the opportunities that cross my path.

Why I am a Mormon

I'm a third-generation Mormon. I was taught by my grandparents and parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, teachers, friends, about the wonderful things of this Gospel. My knowledge grew in this Gospel. After a few years of grief and turmoil, I sought out the truth for myself and knew that what I was searching for, I had all along. I'm Mormon because I know that the LDS church is true. I know that what the Church promotes as a whole and inspired counsel we receive from leaders in the Church, if followed, will help us to find our way to a happier path. I'm Mormon because I know who I am, why I'm here, and where I'm going.

Personal Stories

How does making right choices help us make more right choices?

When you make right choices, you feel peace & happiness. It helps me to make right choices because I want to continue to feel peace and harmony in my life. The Lord has said in Doctrine & Covenants Section 82:10 "I, the Lord, am bound when ye do what I say; but when ye do not what I say, ye have no promise." So, by making right choices, the Lord is required to bless me.

How I live my faith

I attend meetings every Sunday. It's 3 hours. Seems like a long time, aye? Well, it's the best 3 hours out of the 168 in my week. I learn from several different teachers, and I learn something new each Sunday, or maybe a new way to try something. It gives me strength to make it through the next week. I pray every morning and night. I try to have daily scripture study. I work with the cub scouts, so I try to stay conscience of the example I may set, so the kids don't question any decisions that I may make.

In whom should we have faith?

Tino answered...

We should have faith in our Heavenly Father and Savior, Jesus Christ. We should have faith in our Prophet today, who is Thomas S. Monson, all the way down to our local leaders. And we should also have faith in ourselves. That we can do better and be better.

How can we come to know our Father in Heaven?

Richard Maden answered...

Just start out with a small prayer to God and just this one act will start you on a path that will bring you into a relationship with Him. Don't be afraid to ask for guidance from the missionaries this is the thing they live for.
