Hi, I'm Wade

I practiced law for 30 years. Now I am retired and I lead the congregation in singing hymns on Sundays. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am a retired lawyer, a grandfather and and an actor.

Why I am a Mormon

I have spent a lot of time reading the Bible and the Book of Mormon. I have also spent a lot of my time in prayer. Both prayer and study have yielded a number of spiritual experiences, and they all reinforce my testimony that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Days Saints is true.

Personal Stories

Why do Mormons do family history or genealogy work?

Because they are real people who we will meet after death. Not all of them lived in a time or place where they could receive gospel ordinances in this life, and we can show our love for them by performing these ordinances on their behalf.

How I live my faith

I lead the congregation in singing hymns on Sunday, and encourage members to attend the Temple as frequently as possible.

Are Mormons Christians?

Wade answered...

Yes. Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is the Only Begotten Son of Our Father in Heaven, that he was literally resurrected leaving the tomb empty, and that because of His sacrifice, we are saved from death and have hope of forgiveness of sin.
Richie answered...

Yes. We believe Jesus Christ is our Savior and we follow His teachings. We believe He is essential for salvation.

Why do you have 12 Apostles? They were just meant to be around for the time of Jesus Christ, not to be replaced with new apostles.

Mark answered...

The principle of a perpetuating body of twelve special witnesses of Christ comes in ancient times from the fact that the eleven survivors of the death of the Savior chose a twelfth to replace Judas Iscariot (see Acts of the Apostles 1:15-26) Two were considered worthy to take his place, but only one was chosen. When the apostles cast their lots, the inspired choice fell upon Matthias.

In modern times, the Church's organization has been one of gradual building. As the needs of the Church have continued to grow, the prophet of the Lord has been directed to add not only the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, but other supporting quorums of the Seventy as well. The structure of the local organization of wards and stakes has been given by revelation to complete it. But as the needs of the Church continue to evolve so will the structure which supports it. Christ remains the chief cornerstone and the Apostles as the foundation with Him. (see Ephesians 2:19-20 also Ephesians 4:11-14)
