Hi, I'm Meredith

I'm a wife. I'm a stay at home mother. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I have a husband who is my best friend. I have a daughter who is three years old. I enjoy crocheting, singing, cooking, and baking. I love movies and board games. I am allergic to gluten (a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye).

I grew up around members of the Church. I knew they were good Christians, and that I respected their faith in God. When I was 22, I decided to find out what the teachings of the Church were all about. A friend who had already served a mission (2 years serving people in a different part of the world than where you live already) told me that if I wanted to read the Book of Mormon, I should start on the first page. So I read Joseph Smith's testimony of the Book of Mormon. I felt the Spirit like an overwhelming feeling of joy spreading from my heart. I continued to read, but knew I wanted to be baptized. I asked the Missionaries in the ward near me to teach me to Gospel so that I could become a member.

It's been almost 5 years, and that was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I've had some hard trials. The Lord spares no man from the trials of this life; however, I know that the Lord loves me. He knows me personally, and I spend each day trying to know Him better.

Why I am a Mormon

I joined the church in 2007. I find joy and comfort in the teachings of the prophets and the scriptures. They are never in disharmony with one another. The whisperings of the Spirit lead me to read, study, learn, and pray. The Savior's love for us helps me through every trial I face.

Personal Stories

How can your talents and gifts bless others?

One of my talents is singing. I sometimes sing during our worship service on Sunday to provide beautiful music to help others feel the Spirit and love of our Father in Heaven.

What has helped develop greater harmony in your home?

Reading the scriptures together. We talk about what we think the verses we've read mean, and how we can apply them to our lives.

Could you talk about your baptism?

I was baptized at the age of 22. My best friend at the time, who held the Priesthood, baptized me, while the missionaries who taught me were the official witnesses to my baptism. I could not stop smiling the whole night because I was just so

How I live my faith

I am active in my church family by attending events and regular meetings. I also read my scriptures and pray daily. My family holds a Family Home Evening once a week where we discuss Heavenly Father's love for us and the principles of the Gospel, then we play together as a family (usually an easy game for our toddler to play). I take every opportunity I can to teach my daughter love her Heavenly Father and love for her family here on Earth.

Are Mormons Christians?

Meredith answered...

Yes, Mormons are Christians. We believe that Jesus Christ is the son of Heavenly Father, and that he died as our Savior to allow us the opportunity to repent of our sins.

Depends on whom you ask. If you ask a faithful Latter-day Saint, the answer will be "yes". The arguments that I've heard against our being Christian are that we believe in the Book of Mormon (Another Testament of Jesus Christ); we believe that God the Father and Jesus Christ are two separate beings with physical, glorified bodies of flesh and bone; we believe that Joseph Smith was called of God in our time as a prophet; etc. The short answer is "yes", we are Christians. I would even go so far as to say we are the only Christians; that is, we are the only church that Christ has given his priesthood authority. If a Christian is a disciple of Christ, then we are certainly striving to be Christians. Certainly, other churches help and serve in ways that are admirable. There are good people everywhere in the world. However, Heavenly Father is a God of order, not chaos. He has established one faith, one church, and one baptism. There are not several roads that lead to His Kingdom; there is one. We all can receive a witness from the Holy Ghost that we are on that one path that leads to eternal happiness.

How can faith in Jesus Christ influence us in our marriages and family relationships? in our friendships?

Brennan answered...

Jesus of Nazareth was, and still is, the great healer. It is our faith in Him which enables Him to perform miracles in our lives. Often that miracle is a change of heart which allows us to forgive, see others in a new light, or feel an increased measure of love. Having faith in Jesus as our divine redeemer enables Him to bless our marriage and family relationships with an increased measure of unity and love.
