Hi, I'm Paige

I am a wife. I am a mother. I am a Mormon.

About Me

I am a stay at home Mom to my fun 4 year old boy and my sweet 20 month old girl. They keep me on the go and continually learning and growing. My husband and I met in college, where I graduated with a degree in Early Childhood/Early Childhood Special Education. I enjoy writing, reading, playing sports, and especially spending time with my family. We love playing games, going on walks, and simply spending time doing anything together.

A few years back I had the opportunity to go on a humanitarian trip to Kenya and hope to go back some day. It was an amazing experience. I was humbled and learned so much there. I still hope to one day hold a monkey, see fire flies in person, and publish a children's book. But I mostly hope to be there for my family and raise righteous children. On with the journey! :)

Why I am a Mormon

I am a Mormon because being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints makes me happy, gives me guidance, and is leading me back to Christ. I have felt the Spirit testify to me the this Church is true. It brings me peace. I am a Mormon because I love the Lord and I want to make it back to Him.

Personal Stories

Could you talk about your baptism?

I was baptized when I turned 8 years old. I don't remember a lot from that special day. But recently as I prepared a lesson on baptism I had a few memories brought back to me. I remember that I was not sure where to go to get into the water so I started to walk into the bathroom. I remember I was a little nervous. I quickly saw my Dad in the water waving me on and felt relieved.

I don't remember how I felt when I came out of the water but as I sang this song while preparing for my lesson I was reminded that it was sung on my baptism day and that I felt the Spirit as it was sung. I felt the Spirit as I sang the words to myself this time as well

When I Am Baptized

1. I like to look for rainbows whenever there is rain
And ponder on the beauty of an earth made clean again.

2. I know when I am baptized my wrongs are washed away,
And I can be forgiven and improve myself each day.

Chorus
I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain.
I want to be the best I can and live with God again.

How I live my faith

My faith in Jesus Christ and my membership in the Church effects and guides every aspect of my life. It helps me determine how I spend my time. It helps me recognize the need for change and improvement. I try to live my faith each and everyday and improve myself. Everyday we pray and read scriptures personally and with our family. I try to keep the Spirit in our home and do little things to help us grow.

My husband serves with the the boys ages 12-18 and I teach the women (ages 18+) at our Sunday meetings. I teach from a book that contains many of the basic principles of the Gospel. It has been a wonderful experience for both of us and we have grown so much.

How do I become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon Church)?

You definitely can learn about the Gospel of Christ (Faith, Repentence, Baptism, Receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and Enduring to the End) from the missionaries and then follow the steps to apply these in your life. When you truly live the Gospel of Jesus Christ, you will do this thorugh the proper preisthood authority of God. A natural consequence is becoming a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!

What is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' attitude regarding homosexuality and same sex marriage?

Rachel! answered...

In the Church we believe that marrige is between a man and a woman and that if a person acts on homosexual urges it is a sin. Inspite of us believing that homosexuality is a sin we think that we should love all of Gods childeren and we should not judge a person or condemn them. You can love the sinner and hate the sin. No one deserves to be degraded or bullied even if you dont agree with what they are doing. We are all childeren of God.

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.
