Rj Javier: Mormon.

Hi, I'm Rj Javier

I am a Filipino, a BYU Hawaii student, and I am a Mormon.

About Me

I am a student of Brigham Young University Hawaii and a part of the scholarship program of the church. Being part of BYUH is a privilege and a blessing for me.
I love music especially classical music. I also love cooking.
I love serving others and that is why I'm taking my degree in Social Work. I am excited to graduate and to serve the people of my country, Philippines.

Why I am a Mormon

I was born as a member of the church which is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My parents are both member of the church and they joined the church when they were single. I started to learn the teachings of the church since I was young but as I grew up and understand more about religion and faith I started to question many things about the doctrines of the church. My mother counsels me to pray and to study the scripture more. I study and pray and continue searching and up to now I know that this church is true. I know that Heavenly Father lives and that his Son Jesus Christ is the head of this church. There is no doubt in my heart that this is true and that is what the Holy Spirit have taught me.
I am still here strong in the church and this is where I find joy and peace in my heart. I love being a member of this wonderful church that provides service and love to many people around us. The church have taught me how to have a deep and true relationship with our Heavenly Father, a true understanding of the atonement of Jesus Christ and his love for us, and the constant guide of the Holy Ghost.

Personal Stories

Can you talk about the missions of the Church and your participation in them?

Missionary work in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is really important. The church focuses on programs that will spread the gospel letting other know about the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ in this dispensation. Every young man at the age of 19 are commanded to serve a two-year mission for the church. Young women at the age of 21, if they desire, can also serve a year and a half mission. Each are going to be assigned to a specific area. It can be within or outside their own country.
I am grateful that I have become a part of the missionary program of the church. I served my mission in the Philippines Tacloban Mission. There I have learned to speak to different kinds of people and to serve them by sharing the things I know to be true. I developed a deep love to everyone because of my mission. I was taught how to become a good leader, and to become a good servant of the Lord and his people. I will never forget my missionary experience. Now, I am still actively involved in many church activities that will help the church grow and others to know the truth. Although I am not a full time missionary, I still keep my commitment to my Heavenly Father that I will help build his kingdom here on earth.

How I live my faith

As a member of the church, I have participated in many activities and carried some responsibilities that will help the church and its members. I help local leaders of the church in spreading the gospel and in inviting them to come unto Christ. I live my faith daily as I mingle with many different kinds of people everyday. I always try to be nice, to be honest, and loving to others just like our Saviour Jesus Christ. I know I ma not perfect but I am striving to do my best to become better everyday.
