Hi, I'm Janett

I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am a 69 yrs old. I have 3 children, my oldest boy died of oral cancer. I have nine grandchildren. I am sorry to say I have been married 4 times. I was married the first time for 32 years to a very abusive alcoholic. I went to college and majored in oil painting. I worked as a display artist and I worked in the medical field. I served a mission in Kirkland,Ohio.

Why I am a Mormon

I have made many mistakes in my life, with a lot of pain because of my wrong choices. I had given up hope. But because of caring people that told me to read the Book of Mormon and prayer as I read it. I realized that my Heavenly Father loves me no matter what. That Book has such power. I learned about the atonement of Christ, that I could change my life with the help of my Savior! That he knows me and he wanted me back. This is the Gospel of Christ and the only true Church on the earth. I know this for myself, through study and prayer.

Personal Stories

Please share your feelings/testimony of the Restoration of the Gospel.

I smoked for 30 years and I had tried everything to quit, my children hated it it ,but what was worse was I hated myself. I was trying so hard to change my life. I had finally realized that my heavenly father loved me even if I had made so many mistakes. I wanted to be the kind of person that he wanted me to be. I was attending church,reading the scriptures,praying. I had quit smoking for a month and I was having a horrible time. One day after a awful day of work and a terrible fight with my husband I decieded that I was just weak and I would never be a good person, who was I trying to fool. Than on the way home from work, I picked up my mail and there it was the letter from my Father in Heaven. My sister had bought me a subscription to the Ensign, a church magazine, an in it was the story of a little boy that wanted a bicycle and his father told him if he could earn the money he would take him to buy it. So the little boy did all he could do to earn the money. He shoveled snow, mowed lawns anything he could do to earn some money. Than he and his dad went to buy the bike. But he only had a few dollars and the bike cost much more. He was so sad he told his dad he had did all he could do to earn the money and it just wasn't enough! He was ready to give up. His dad hugged him and said I will pay the rest of the money.
That is when I really realized what the attonement is, that after all we can do the Savior just takes up the slack. I didn't have to do it by myself, Jesus was there to pay the rest. He knows us, He knew what I was going through, He knew how hard I had tried and he was there for me. He loves me no matter what, He wants me to come back to him. I never had another smoke!

How I live my faith

I try to follow the teaching of my Savior Jesus Christ. I try to serve him. I love and care for people and I make mistakes and just start over and try again. I go to Sacrement meeting on Sunday and study and learn with Faith and much prayer I keep on learning. I love to go to the temple, the house of out lord, I feel peace and contentment. I try to serve in anyway I can. I found that through service I feel so much happiness
