Hi, I'm Elizabeth

I grew up in the U. S.A. I hope to travel and serve around the world as a nurse. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I'm Elizabeth. I joined the Church a few years ago. After school, teaching, traveling, and being a missionary, I'm headed back to school to be a nurse. I love being around people and making new friends. I run, workout, dance, enjoy music, and love anything Spanish. I am fluent in Spanish from being a missionary in California and teaching in Mexico.

Why I am a Mormon

My mom grew up pretty religious, she sang in church choirs as a kid, and her mom was a convert to the Moravian faith (a protestant denomination). My Grandma always wanted me to go to church and read the Bible, but my mom, as an adult, didn't find spirituality in organized religion. I hung out with the "good kids" growing up, and eventually got into youth groups with their families. When I started meeting with missionaries it was like I found something I didn't know I had been missing. I love getting to learn more about the Savior and how He has a perfect plan for me, and everyone.

Personal Stories

How has the Holy Ghost helped you?

I've gone through some tough times in my life, but one of the jobs of the Holy Ghost is to be a comforter. During those dark and difficult times, the Holy Ghost has come in the form of peace and calm, and helped me through the trials of life.

How I live my faith

I'm fortunate, after a couple years of teaching various classes such as Sunday School, I get to do something different, and I get to organize activities for my ward (congregation). We have lots of fun, and love to invite our friends from school and work to join with us. Church activities give us a place to enjoy each others company, to serve, and play, while not worrying about putting ourselves in danger with drugs or alcohol.

I also have many chances to help people out. I visit some of the girls from my congregation, bring them soup when they are sick, or chocolate when they are sad, give rides if they need to get some place. Life always seems better when I help other people.

How can I find someone to talk with, in person, about the Mormon religion?

If you have a friend that is Mormon, try asking him/her. Mormon.org is a great place to find basic information, find a place to go to church, or to ask to meet with missionaries.

The missionaries are one of the greatest resources to find out more information on the church. If you want to know more, ask someone who is a member of the church.

What is being a Mormon like?

Kristin answered...

Many people think that being a Mormon is very strict and holds people back from experiencing all that life has to offer. However, I know that it is the exact opposite. In The Book of Mormon, an ancient governor named Pahoran tells us that the spirit of God is the spirit of freedom. I know this principle to be true. The things of the world bind us with feelings of guilt, sorrow, envy, hatred, doubt, judgment, chaos, and confusion. The things of God bring peace, contentment, happiness, joy, satisfaction, clarity, and love. Through family relationships, The Book of Mormon, communication with a loving Father in Heaven, repentance, baptism, church attendance, and making sacred promises in God's holy temple, I have experienced these feelings of freedom. Being a Mormon is not just something I do, it is who I am! Mormonism is not just a belief, it is a lifestyle. This lifestyle has provided me with clarity, purpose, value, and direction. I will forever proclaim the truthfulness of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints! It is Christ's true church upon the earth. It is the pathway to true joy in this life and the life to come!
