About Me

Hi, I'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I love not only my children but all children. That love translated into founding 2 non-profit charities to help babies and their families. Those charities have been serving the sick and needy primarily in America, and also around the world.

I also like to fly, ski, boogie board surf in the ocean, read, sew, tat, serge, quilt, embroider, network on computer, do charity work, be involved with church activities, bicycle and spend a lot of time with family.

My greatest search in life is for truth. The gospel teaches us everything we want to know - about anything. If I have a question, I can find the answer in the scriptures, through prayer and in gospel doctrine. My relationship with the Savior helps me make important decisions and helps to smooth the bumps in life to a tolerable level. I have a strong testimony of the truthfulness of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and walk the talk every day, putting my love and gratitude for the Savior into action.

Why I am a Mormon

I am a Mormon because of the decision I made to always be true to myself. I found out who I am, a daughter of God, and am faithfully loyal to the royal within me.

In a confusing world, it is wonderful to be free of the turmoil. I know who I am, where I came from and where I am going.

Being LDS helped me form my goals from thoughts and make them a reality. The only true peace in this life, and continuing happiness, is in having integrity and knowing where the path is and following it. Deviations are realities as we are all sinners, but with the gospel, I repent (daily), and keep on putting one foot in front of the other to eventually return home to my Heavenly Father, who patiently waits for me.

I know my path is the correct one for me and invite you to explore whether it is the right one for you, too. I think it is, but you have to know it is for yourself.

Personal Stories

How can we develop greater harmony in our homes?

We can develop greater harmony in our homes as we learn what our purpose on earth is. As each of us search for our identity and reason for being here, life becomes clearer and more organized. I am a wife and mother. My responsibilities are within the walls of my own home as I clean, bake, teach, tend, mind, obey, love, work, sew, knit, crochet, plant, and do a multitude of activities that bless my life and the lives of the children under the guidance of my husband. I am free from worrying about bills, stress of working outside the home and dealing with a harsh difficult world in a tough economy. I love being a woman and protected by a loving caring husband who treats me as an equal and cares tenderly for me.

My husband is the breadwinner and knows what his place is as well. He takes on the world to provide our family with peace, comfort, safety, love and our 'heaven on earth' on our home is a wonderful balance of two people working well together who know who they are, what they are doing here on earth, what their responsibilities are and what it is all for.

Harmony is when like-minded individuals decide to combine efforts to achieve a common goal. There are times when our responsibilities expand or need adjusting to meet specific needs, but for the most part, we co-exist peacefully because we know what is expected of us and we are happy together.

How I live my faith

Faith is shown through daily activity. Here are some of the components of my lifestyle showing how I live my faith: Prayer, sharing beliefs, teaching family, walking the talk, charity work, church attendance, fasting, serving in the community, reading scriptures and applying them to our daily lives, standing for truth and righteousness in all things, at all times and in all places, geneology work, living the word of wisdom (eating healthy, getting enough sleep and exercise), raising families, and constantly learning more about God, the Saviour and the Holy Ghost and applying what is learned in a positive way.

What do Mormons believe about Jesus Christ? Do Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God?

Carol answered...

" I want to give you my testimony. I know that God our Eternal Father lives, that He is the great Governor of the universe, and that we are His children, and that somehow He hears and answers the prayers of His children. I want you to know that I know that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, that He left His royal home on high and came down among men—hated and abused of men—and that He went about doing good see Acts 10:38. He was crucified out of the hatred of the people; He rose the third day—'the firstfruits of them that slept' (1 Corinthians 15:20). I want you to know that the Father and the Son appeared to the boy Joseph Smith and ushered in this marvelous dispensation—the greatest dispensation in the history of the entire world."

This is my testimony, stated in the words of President Gordon B Hinckley. When it comes to Jesus, we think exactly alike and I couldn't state it any better than he did.....no need reinventing the wheel! Truth is truth.

I go to college in what many people consider the "bible belt" of America. Many people assume I'm not a christian or that I don't believe in Jesus Christ as the literal Son of God. Most people don't realize just how christian our faith is and they're usually surprised at how similar many of our beliefs are. The truth is Jesus Christ is the Son of God and there is no other name by which people can be saved. Jesus Christ is my savior and the Savior of the world. His goodness is available to all and brings happiness to anyone who reaches out to Him.

What is being a Mormon like?

Shawn answered...

Being a Mormon is like being yourself but you will find more happiness through the gospel of Jesus Christ so you will a better yourself you won’t want to do the things you know are wrong. People will know that you are following Christ and they will respect you for that even if they tease you about it at first. You don’t have to change your personality but you will change the way you look at life and find more respect and love for Christ and what He did for you and for me.
