Hi, I'm Karan

I'm a Mormon, Military Mom.

About Me

I love music, singing, scrapbooking, photography, movies, reading, drama and I especially love being a Mom! I also like to cook, and I love working with the Young Women at church.
My husband is in the military so we have moved all over including Texas, North Carolina, Idaho, North Dakota and England! I have met many wonderful friends and seen so many beautiful places!

Why I am a Mormon

I was blessed to have been born into a family who were already members of the church. I am grateful for this because I was raised with good moral values and ideas, but also learned to respect others ideas that are different from mine. I did however still have to gain my own testimony and decide if it was what i wanted for myself. That happened when i was 16 and read the Book of Moromn for the first time while in Seminary. I was at an age where i knew i needed to find out for myself, so i read and prayed and studied. When I finished, I followed the challenge in Moroni 10, so i knelt down and prayed to know it was true. As i did, tears came to my eyes and I was filled with the warmth of the Holy spirit, as it testified truth to me. Ever since then, through all my trials, I have relied on my faith alone, and know that i have a Heavenly father who loves me and listens to my prayers. I am grateful for the sacrifice of my Savior Jesus Christ, and that he has made forgiveness possible, and I love him with all my heart!

Personal Stories

Why do Mormons go on missions?

I was honored to serve as a missionary in Hong Kong, where i was able to teach many people about Jesus Christ. In a country where Buddhism and ancestor worship are predominant, I knew this was an incredible blessing to be able to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to let people know they have a loving Heavenly Father. It was an amazing experience for me, and it helped my testimony grow immensely, while i also learned the value of selfless service by giving up 18 months of my life to serve the Lord.

How I live my faith

I am a counselor in Primary at church, teaching the children ages 3-11. It is a joy and a challenge, but I love to see them grow as they learn about Jesus. I am also a visiting teacher and try to help other sisters in my ward by visiting them, and helping them with whatever they need. I am also a member of the choir at church which I enjoy.

Can a husband and wife be together forever? Do Mormons believe that families will live together in heaven?

Daniel answered...

When married by earthly power and the authority of man, our vows are "Until death do you part."

We believe that families can be together forever as part of our Heavenly Father's Great Plan of Happiness. His Work and His Glory is to bring to pass the exaltation and eternal life of man. He wants us to be even as He is and to return home to live with Him again.

Through the ordinances of his Holy Temples, God's son's and daughter's are able to make covenants. Through the power of His Holy Priesthood, be sealed together for all of time and eternity as Husband and Wife, parents and children.

Families were designed and instituted by God with the intent that they be forever. The love we feel in this life does not need to be cut off when we die. Those who have already died are not lost us forever. God has mercifully made a way by which all who would accept these saving ordinances can do so, living or dead.

We perform these ordinances for those who have in the past died so that they may have the opportunity of accepting them on the other side if they so choose to do so.
Amanda answered...

YES!!! This is one of my favorite parts of the gospel. I believe that my family will live together in heaven. I will know my family as my family members. My husband is my husband for now and for all eternity. My children are my children here on earth and for all eternity. I know that if something happened to one of us that I will see them again. I love this about the church. Before joining, I always had a question about this concept and when taking the discussions from the missionaries this came up. Makes me love the church more and more.

Do Mormons worship Joseph Smith?

Ken answered...

Joseph Smith was a great man and we revere him as such because of the great and important things he accomplished. We do not worship Joseph Smith or serve him. We study about his life, because of the great significance of Joseph Smith's first vision and the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the priesthood authority. It is a series of remarkable historical events.

I recently had the opportunity to visit Rochester, New York on a business trip and I found time to visit the nearby town of Palmyra and the Sacred Grove. I was able to see and study and review the circumstances surrounding the events and experiences of Joseph Smith. This was no chance happening or coincidence.

We worship Our Heavenly Father and His Son, the resurrected Lord, Jesus Christ.

Joseph Smith

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.
