Hi, I'm Jewel

I grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah. I love to travel and talk to others about freedom and individualism. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am a Mom of 7 children. I am passionate about American Patriotism. I love to study and learn. My Quest in life is to serve God and Build the Kingdom in every capacity I know.

Why I am a Mormon

I was born and raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I was baptized when I was 8 years old by my father. I have learned about the Gospel both from my family, friends and Church leaders. I am passionate about the truths found within it's principles and I eagerly seek to gain greater knowledge through personal study, prayer and revelation.

Personal Stories

Which of the Savior’s teachings have influenced you in your life?

"He is the alight and the life of the world yea, a light that is endless, that can never be darkened yea, and also a life which is endless, that there can be no more death." Mosiah 16:9 I cannot imagine anything greater than the knowledge that God lives and therefore we can overcome every challenge in our lives, even death itself. His Atonement and Sacrifice granted us the ability to repent of our sins and return to Him spotless and without darkness. I will forever love Him and worship Him. This knowledge has given me hope and helps me live a better life.

How I live my faith

I strive daily to live the standards and teachings of the Gospel. As a full time mom, my example and teachings to my children is vital. I support my husband in his endeavors. He is also very supportive of me. I have found that daily prayer and Scripture study, though these ideas may seem trite, are the foundation to a good day and helping make better decisions. I try to do my best in my callings and service to those whom I know and love. I am certainly grateful for the things I have learned along the way. Life has come with it's deep challenges and hurtles to overcome. It has been the Gospel of Jesus Christ that has kept me going forward, given me the strength to wake up each morning and try to be better, and given me the peace the God is aware of my needs and desires. There have been times that I have questioned my ability to succeed, but through the Spirit of the Holy Ghost and through the actions of good people, and my own desire for happiness, I continue to believe every opportunity can and will be to our benefit and success in every area is available when we trust and act on the promptings of the Spirit.

Who is the Mormon prophet today?

Jewel answered...

The Prophet today is Thomas S. Monson. He is the 16th President of the Church. I met President Monson at my Grandfathers W. Cleon Skousen funeral in 2006, before he became the President. He was then in the First Presidency. During the funeral he was kind, encouraging and sincere. As I listened to him speak, and as I remember his remarks, I am strengthened. At General Conference twice a year and reading his writings for the Ensign Magazine I am reminded that he is certainly a Man of God who leads the Church with a very intelligent and compassionate demeanor. I am grateful that we have available a Prophet of God to instruct, guide and inspire our daily lives.

Can a husband and wife be together forever? Do Mormons believe that families will live together in heaven?

Daniel answered...

When married by earthly power and the authority of man, our vows are "Until death do you part."

We believe that families can be together forever as part of our Heavenly Father's Great Plan of Happiness. His Work and His Glory is to bring to pass the exaltation and eternal life of man. He wants us to be even as He is and to return home to live with Him again.

Through the ordinances of his Holy Temples, God's son's and daughter's are able to make covenants. Through the power of His Holy Priesthood, be sealed together for all of time and eternity as Husband and Wife, parents and children.

Families were designed and instituted by God with the intent that they be forever. The love we feel in this life does not need to be cut off when we die. Those who have already died are not lost us forever. God has mercifully made a way by which all who would accept these saving ordinances can do so, living or dead.

We perform these ordinances for those who have in the past died so that they may have the opportunity of accepting them on the other side if they so choose to do so.
