Personal Stories

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

"As I have loved you, love one another." Every day is full of potential conflicts and contention at home, at work, and in the community. I find peace and productivity as I try to allow this teaching to guide my life.

How I live my faith

Nearly everyone we run across throughout a day could use a boost or a friendly face. My hope is to treat each person I encounter as Jesus would treat them.

Who was Joseph Smith?

Alan answered...

Heavenly Father is anxious to help his children. He provides prophets to give guidance and inspiration. Joseph Smith was a prophet.

What is the difference between attending church and the temple?

Kimberly. answered...

We go to church weekly to worship and take the sacrament, which is like communion. Everyone, no matter their faith, is welcome to come to church services and learn more about the Gospel.

The temple is a special place where members make further promises to Heavenly Father that they will keep his commandments. It is also where we are married, or sealed together, and where we can be baptized and sealed for our family members who have died before having those opportunities in life.

To go to the temple you need a card called a temple reccomend from your church leaders that confirms that you are currently doing your best to follow Christ and His Gospel as a member of the Church.
