Hi, I'm Kempe

I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I work for Western Governors University. www.wgu.edu

Why I am a Mormon

I was born into the church and have ancestors that came through Nauvoo. Through my life, I've come to appreciate my ancestors who were so committed to the gospel.

Personal Stories

Why do Mormons go on missions?

For many reasons. Now that I have served I mission in Estonia, I know that one reason is to simply learn how to serve others.

How has The Book of Mormon helped you understand the purpose of life?

Through the writings of the prophets in The Book of Mormon, I feel that I am to see the Plan of Salvation as they saw it.

What have you done successfully to shield your family from unwanted influences?

The only thing I think I could take a little credit for is, I married the right girl, at the right time, in the right place.

How I live my faith

I currently teach in the Elders Quorum on the 4th Sunday over every month. The topic for each of the lessons are drawn from the talks given in General Conference.

President Thomas S. Monson is our current prophet. He is called of God to receive revelation for us today. I am grateful for living prophets and apostles to lead and guide us in this troubled world. I know that they are called of God, and if we follow their counsel we will be happy.

Are all Mormons required to serve a mission?

Taylor answered...

Quite simply, no. The young men of the church have been strongly encouraged to serve a mission at age 19, and the sisters are able to serve at age 21, but no one is required to serve. We do it because we want to! Who in their right mind would give up two years and pay that's right, missionaries pay their own way to go somewhere they had never been and do all that they do? We serve missions becuase we know that Jesus is the Christ, and we want the happiness that knowledge bring to be available to everyone! So no, Mormons are not required to serve a mission. It's a personal choice to share the happiness and joy they've received from the Gospel.

As is the case throughout history God has communicated to His children through prophets. God used a humble man as a prophet to restore His Church on earth who ultimately died defending His faith.
