Why I am a Mormon

I prayed for God to help me understand if the gospel, the fully restored gospel of Jesus Christ, was true. Once I knew it was true, I didn't have much choice but to accept it and though it was a huge and often difficult change then... now, I have been forever blessed for my faithfulness and my testimony has only grown since then.

Personal Stories

What are you doing to help strengthen your family and make it successful?

My husband and I pray together every morning and night, and we pray separately on our own. We also study the scriptures together and apart. In addition, we have one night set apart every week as encouraged by the Church, which is Monday and knowing how awful Mondays can be sometimes, it only makes sense that Mondays would also be our "family home evening" time. We sing a hymn together, plan our week, share a spiritual thought, and then do an activity together. We put each others happiness ahead of our own, we communicate and we live to the best of our ability, selflessly, as Christ taught us to.

Could you talk about your baptism?

It was beautiful.

How I live my faith

People say I glow now.. it's the light of Christ. I'm more patient. I'm more honest. I'm more faithful. I know everything given to me, my family, my friends, my talents, my opportunities, are all from God. I go to Church every week to renew my promise to God and to remember Jesus Christ, my savior, for who, without, I would be nothing and have no opportunity for making my past or current wrongs right. But on top of that, I serve others whenever I can. I am not just Christian on Sunday... I am Christian everyday.

Do you really believe there is a prophet like Moses alive today?

Daisy answered...

Why not? Why would God stop communicating with us through a prophet when he did it before? He is the same God then, today, and forever and as such, it would only make sense for him to give us a prophet today as well.
Tom answered...

I do believe that there is a prophet alive today. This was a concept that I struggled with when I was investigating the Church because I was skeptical of ancient prophets, much less a living prophet. As I worked with the Bishop and Stake President (local Church leaders), I began to see that they could receive revelations for my benefit as well as other Church members for whom they have responsibility. Seeing God's power through these good men that I came to know personally helped me realize that our Heavenly Father directs his Church through modern day prophets.
