Hi, I'm Jamie

I'm a wife. I'm a Mom. I'm a Californian. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am married, have two kids and live in Southern California. I love the beach, knitting and crocheting, swimming with my kids and enjoying the beautiful outdoors.

Why I am a Mormon

I have a testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that his true church was restored on this earth through Joseph Smith. We have a true and living Prophet who leads and guides this church through divine direction. Jesus Christ lives and he is my Savior.

Personal Stories

Please explain the part prayer plays in your life?

Prayer for me has been an integral part in helping me know that my Heavenly Father knows who I am and loves me. I have found that bad things still happen to wonderful people but that doesn't mean that His love for us is any less. Through struggles and trials I have turned to my Father in Heaven in prayer and he has comforted me. He has given me guidance and peace. I am grateful that through prayer I can have a personal relationship with my Heavenly Father.

How I live my faith

At church I teach the children about the life and teaching of Jesus Christ. I love seeing their eyes light up when they realize that Jesus Christ knows who they are and loves them.

Are Mormons Christians?

Jamie answered...

Yes. We believe that the Savior Jesus Christ died for us, and was resurrected so that we might live again. Through him we can be forgiven of our sins and return to live with him and our Heavenly Father.
JD answered...

We declare with all that we have that Jesus is the Christ, the Holy one of Israel, the Prince of Peace, even the Son of God. If your definition of Christian is one who believes in the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth and follows his gospel, then yes we are as Christian as they come.

What do Mormons believe about family?

Bradley. answered...

The family is a key component to support us in God's plan for gaining immortality and eternal life. All of God's children (all the inhabitants that lived, are living, and will live on Earth) are inseperably connected to each other, both (physically) by our Earthly families and (spiritually) by our Heavenly Father.

Families help us to understand our divine heritage. In this, life takes on purpose and meaning. Our immortal spirits were created by our Heavenly Father before Earthly existance, and we are directly connected to Him in this way. As a spiritual family, our collective purpose on Earth is to follow the commandments of God that lead us to live in heaven with Him again.

Our spirits need to progress, learn, and grow. In order to achieve that, Earthly existance was created as our test. Our Heavenly Father knew that being exposed to opposing forces on Earth was the only way for us to gain knowledge and wisdom.

However, we will not always choose righteousness, and so our Savior, Jesus Christ, is that great mediator to pay the debt of our mistakes. He is the only way by which we can be saved from our sins and transgressions. He is the ultimate example by which direction we need to live our lives. With the support of our earthly kin, we can learn from each other, serve each other, and strengthen our mortal weaknesses by being disciples of Christ. Our families are a gift from God, and we can be together forever.
