About Me

Hi, I'm Jennifer. I really like missionary work because I know that Joseph Smith is a prophet and the Book or Mormon is true so I have a duty to share it with people. I love strangers because the Lord Orchestrates them into my daily life and there are so many strangers that I have been able to meet and we shared the word of God one with the other. This Work is true! Who can change a person’s mind when the spirit of prophecy and revelation has confirmed these things unto them? I have been a member for 6 years and it has been the best years of my life.

Why I am a Mormon

Actually I am a Latter-day Saint. I believe the Book of Mormon to be true. So you can call me a Mormon as a nick name, but the correct term is Latter-day Saint. :)

My father owned a restaurant & I met many different people there that invited me to church. I met the missionaries there too. Actually, an entire district of missionaries came to my dad's restaurant. The rest of the story is history. I knew those young men were honest in sharing God's message. I was baptized in the name of Jesus Christ by the proper authority. I know the Book of Mormon is the word of God & testifies of Jesus Christ. I know those things because of the Holy spirit that I felt before baptism & that was conferred upon me as a gift afterward. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet. Why am I a Mormon? I am a Mormon because I know, believe & abide by the precepts found in the Book of Mormon.

Personal Stories

What has helped develop greater harmony in your home?

Living with people that are different from you and having roommates that you don't know can be quite challenging. However, with the help of willing roommates and the atonement this past semester has been one of the most harmonious seasons within my home.

My roommates and I were different ages, from different places and were just different types of people in general. Yet, we created harmony in our home by praying for one and with one another. We had scripture study and was able to finish the book of psalms. And, whenever our differences were getting to be too much we would just laugh and act like kids. We loved each other with a child like love.

We had our ups and downs like roommates in any other apartment. However, whenever one of us got weak we were able to hold each other up in a spiritual sense. We focused on what we had in common instead of our differences and that is why we had the atonement in our apartment.

Please share your feelings/testimony of Joseph Smith.

For four years after watching a commercial I felt spiritual promptings that I needed to visit Nauvoo, Illinois.

Finally, I arrived to be a part of the Gold cast for the Nauvoo Pageant in 2010.

I have a testimony that Joseph Smith was and is a Prophet of the Lord Jesus Christ. I saw the bullet hole that pierced the door and the window that he jumped out of in route of escape of the mob. I knew that it was the power of God that was wrought upon me when I felt so sure of the fact that he sealed his testimony with his blood.

All in one day I had the privilege to visit the glorious Nauvoo temple, listen to an apostle of the Lord, Elder Anderson, and have my mother call me to tell me that my “missionary friends” were coming for a visit.

The Nauvoo Temple has given me a vision concerning my family. Here is what I see coming to pass concerning my family. All of my children shall be taught of the Lord. My grandchildren and great grandchildren will know of my journey, and the sacrifices for the Gospel.

I bear witness of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. I was converted from the introductory page. I bear witness of the healing that the atonement of Christ provides seeing as though I was healed of two infirmities during my stay in Nauvoo. I bear witness that Christ lives and was raised from the dead.

I say all of these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

How I live my faith

I live my faith by praying and studying the scriptures. I live my faith by keeping a clean home, going to church, participating in church activities, tracing my lineage, attending the temple, taking heed to the words of the prophets, paying my tithing, keeping my covenants, and making changes in myself that I am able to.

What is the role of the husband and the wife in the family?

Jennifer answered...

The role of the husband and wife is a joint ministry in the sense that it is ordained of God. The husband is to lead the family and the wife is to nurture the family. Both are equal in their companionship. Parents have a duty to raise up their children in remembrance of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I am preparing for the privilege to raise up seed unto the Lord. We have sacred temples where families can be sealed for an eternity, make covenants and do proxy work for our dead. I want those blessings. I will only be married in the temple because of the knowledge that I have concerning the duties of a husband and wife in the family
Jocelyn answered...

The role of husband and wife in the family is to first and foremost love each other! Wow, revolutionary!!!
I have found that when there is love and complete commitment between my husband and I, there is no problem that we cannot face together. It is much easier to teach the children with love and to handle life's challenges.
My husband and I are equals. I feel loved, respected, and appreciated by him. I hope he feels the same things from me.

Are Mormons Christians?

Brittany answered...

Yes, Mormons are definitely Christians! The official name of our church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ. In fact during the course of the Book of Mormon, Christ appears and ministers to the people of The Book of Mormon. We just like other Christian denominations believe that Christ is our Savior. I personally know that Jesus Christ is my Savior. He lived and died for me, and the atonement makes it possible for me to be forgiven and cleansed from my sins.
