Hi, I'm Joseph
I am a "full-time" dad with a wonder wife and five kids and a "part-time" CPA. I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I was born in Utah. I am one of 11 children. I have lived in New Mexico for 7 years, then in Arizona for 16 years and currently reside in Nevada. I lived for two years in Jamaica serving a mission. I have been married for ten years. We have 5 children ages 8 years to 8 months old. I am a CPA (Certified Public Accountant). I have run a maraton alone. I enjoy lifting weights, but have not done it much since I have been married. I enjoy coaching my sons soccer team.
Why I am a Mormon
Because it answers the questions of my soul of where I came from, why I am here on earth and where I will go when I die. When I was a teenager I would pray before I read my scriptures daily and one time before I read I prayed for understanding and the Holy Spirit told me that the things I was reading was true. Before that time and after I have had many experiences which have told me this church is true and that it is the only way to live with Heavenly Father again. I know that Joseph Smith saw Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and that he was called as a prophet of God like Moses. And just as Moses was called to lead the children of Isreal to the promised land. Joseph Smith and each succeeding prophet has been called also to lead us back to live with our Heavenly Father.
Personal Stories
How has your knowledge of the Plan of Happiness changed/benefited your life?
By knowing that I lived with my Heavenly Father before I came to earth and that I am here on earth to gain a body and to be tested to see if I will follow Jesus Christ and keep the commandments it has given me purpose and meaning to my life. It has helped me to see my trials with an eternal prospective which gives me stregth to overcome them.
How I live my faith
I begin and end each day with prayer to my Heavenly Father including multiple prayers throughout the day. I read the scriptures daily for a half hour to learn more about Heavenly Father and his will for me. My faith has helped me realize my greatest responsibility is the teaching and raising my children in truth and righteousness. To accomplish this great task we have family prayer and scripture study everyday. We also reserve Monday nights as time to spend together as a family. I am an imperfect dad but I strive to love my children and to spend some individual focused time with them every week. As a family we strive to get to know our neighbors and to love them as ourselves. At church I oversee the youth program ages 18 months to 13 years old. I help choose their teachers and leaders and try to make sure they are having a positive experience and opportunity to gain a testimony of their Savior, Jesus Christ. I also visit four families a month and share with them a spiritual message and encourage them to strenghten their testimonies.
