Hi, I'm Janet

I was born in Argentina and have lived most of my life in the US. I'm an aspiring attorney, and I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I was born in Argentina, and grew up in the US. I just graduated from college and am working as a spanish teacher. I am preparing for law school and want to be an immigration attorney one day soon. I love traveling the world and exploring different cultures and food. I also really enjoy anything outdoors such as hiking, camping etc. I love to cook because I love to eat, and I love being my with my family.

Why I am a Mormon

Anyone who has gone through high school and college knows how difficult it can be to find oneself. Life can be stressful and difficult sometimes. It's easy to get lost without guidance. God has taught me that I am a daughter of God and he loves me. I have eternal potential and I know how valuable I am. This knowledge has given me strength and helped me become who I am. Its amazing that we are so special to God that he will help guide us and answer our prayers when we seek the truth. I have prayed to know that this is his Gospel, and I have received a witness through the peace and comfort of the Holy Ghost that it is. This is a witness that anyone can receive. I know that Heavenly Father still guides and leads us today. This life was meant to be lived to the fullest, and we are to be happy! The gospel of Christ has given me that happiness and direction in my life.

Personal Stories

Why/How do you share the gospel with your friends?

This gospel isn't just a religion or something to do on a Sunday, it is who I am and how I live each day. Because of this all my friends and co-workers know that I am LDS. This makes it very easy to talk about our beliefs and faiths. We are open and I take the opportunity to invite my friends to learn more by visiting mormon.org or meeting with the missionaries. I also post quotes from apostles or "mormon message" clips on my facebook regularly. Its just fun to be able to share the gospel with others. I feel that when you are loving and open others are hardly ever offended in talking about religion but are rather interested.

How I live my faith

I served for 18 months as a missionary in San Diego California. There I was able to meet some amazing people and teach everyone about our Savior Jesus Christ. It was super neat experience and enjoyed seeing the happiness one receives with the knowledge of our savior's love and sacrifice. During my final few months I was able able to serve as a missionary at the Mormon Battalion Historic Site in Old Town, San Diego. There I was able to teach the visitors about the early saint's contribution to the development of San Diego. Now I have the opportunity to visit monthly several woman at church and share with them an uplifting message prepared specifically for them. We are encouraged to serve and help others in our community so I look for opportunities to volunteer at local events. I have been able to participate in planning and carrying out youth activities. I also have the privilege of preparing and teaching classes at church for the young single adults. Its really neat to be able to get involved and live what you believe.

How are modesty and chastity related? How can parents teach their children to be modest in dress, language and behavior?

Janet answered...

Chastity is reserving physical intimacy for after marriage. This sexual intimacy is such a beautiful and powerful display of love that it is to be reserved for that special time. When we do this we are showing the respect and love we have for ourselves and our bodies, as the gift from God that they are. Through our dress, language and behavior we also show our self worth and respect for who we are. The neat thing about being modest is the strong self confidence that is exhibited by your outward appearance. There is a power that comes from knowing that we are children of a loving Heavenly Father. As parents teach their children that simple truth, that self confidence will develop and as the desire to be modest in dress, language and behavior will come naturally. I know that this was the case in my life and am super grateful for the teachings of my parents and the high self confidence it cultivated in knowing of my individual worth as a daughter of God.

Modesty is almost a precursor for chastity. They are the built upon the doctrine of the sanctity of our body. By being modest in our actions and dress we outwardly show our understanding that we, as a soul, are more than just an object to be flaunted. Our body is a gift from God and he has asked us to save intimacy until after we are married. We show respect for him and ourselves if we hold off until marriage and always dress and act modestly. This principle can be taught to children through example, first and foremost, but also by being honest and explaining to them the importance of it and why we are asked to live it. Use the Holy Ghost as your guide as you teach your children.

What is being a Mormon like?

Kaitlin Elise Gray answered...

Being a Mormon to be is by far the BEST way to live. I have never felt so much peace in my life from knowing and having that knowledge that I am a literal Daughter of my Heavenly Father who loves me. I love knowing that I have a plan and a reason for being placed on this earth. I have a purpose and a Heavenly Father who wants nothing but the best for me!Being a Mormon makes me want to shout for joy! Having the restored gospel in my life and knowing that the TRUE church is once again on this earth brings me so much happiness. Being a member of the Church of Latter Day Saints brings me so much joy, and makes me want to share this truth and knowledge with everyone that I know. In fact, that is the VERY reason why I am serving a Mission. Also knowing that I can be with my family for Eternity, now there is no greater joy than that. I love being Mormon. I can not think of ANY way better to live
