Hi, I'm Nate

I'm a Mormon. I am from New Mexico. I served as a full-time missionary in Hawaii.

About Me

I am a single guy who likes playing around with computers. I built a mid-tower computer from basic computer components, consisting of cables, motherboards, and RAM, among many others. I graduated from with an Accociates in Digital Media. I plan to earn my computer science - animation degree.

I am glad to have a kind, loving family. I have been blessed with three brothers and three sisters, which is large yet exciting at the same time. Both of my parents are together and plan to be for time and all eternity.

Why I am a Mormon

Being a Mormon is what I have always grown up with. I have always known about what it means to be a son of of our Heavenly Father. I have always been blessed with the knowledge that our Heavenly Father has to offer.

I know where I came from.

I know where I am going.

Most importantly, I know who I am.

Personal Stories

In what ways have your prayers been answered?

I have always wanted a career that could support my future family. I didn't know what that was.

While I was in Hawaii, I decided to enroll at BYU. I got accepted and started taking computer science classes.

About a year and a half after going to into the program I got an email from my aunt: someone she knew had an internship for me at perhaps the largest semiconductor corporation in the world. It ended up that he was an alumni of my university and was a Mormon, too!

I interviewed for the position and accepted an offer to work there.

As I learned more about this company, I realized that the career was in line to what I was praying for. Also, I learned about the local singles branch nearby. It seemed, as though, there was a careful plan outlined for me. It is a pretty incredible feeling.

I am still waiting for a few answers, but I know, that through patience and great care in keeping the promises that I made with my loving Heavenly Father, that I will receive an answer.

How I live my faith

I like to participate in our local choir. I like to share my talents with others in a positive way.

I also visit local church members and share a gospel message. If they have a specific need, I can help them, whether it be computer problems or needing something moved.

I like to approach questions by looking at the words of things

"priest" has reference to either the concept of one who leads, one who is elder, or one who is holy I like to remember that the words 'holy' and 'whole' are linked by a common ancestry. When something is 'holy' it's essentially saying that it's complete, that it's healthy..

And "-hood" makes reference to the state of being, and not just any state of being but a state of being that's worthy or correct for it's placement. That is, that it's done properly.

So one could say the priesthood is leadership or a point of reference that's completely suited to the position in which it's been placed.

Another way to look at it is to say it's God's perfect order. That is, it's God's perfect arrangement.

In our Church we often give a definition of priesthood as being "the authority to act in God's name" and that's exactly what it means to be a part of God's perfect order. If God commands something to be done by you, and you do it, then you are acting under, and with that portion of God's authority that he's permitted you to exercise within his perfect order.

Just as with any instance where someone tries to act in the name of someone else there are bound to be those who try and do so falsely. That's why God has things ordered in such a way that one can know for certain if someone has His God's authority, or not.

What is the Church’s position on abortion?

Charis answered...

The Church recognizes some circumstances that may justify an abortion, such as when pregnancy is the result of incest or rape, when the life or health of the mother is in serious jeopardy, or when the fetus is known to have severe defects that will not allow the baby to survive beyond birth.

Human life is a sacred gift from God. Elective abortion for personal or social convenience is contrary to the will and the commandments of God.
