Hi, I'm Kylir

I'm a software developer, a devoted husband, and a happy father. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I work for a small company as a software developer. I also really like gardening, taking pictures of interesting things, and doing triathlons. But most of all, I enjoy doing just about anything with my wife, daughter, and dog.

Why I am a Mormon

When I first read the New Testament as a young teenager, I was amazed by the teachings of Jesus Christ. I knew I had stumbled upon a treasure chest of wisdom. I knew that if I lived a Christ-like life that I would be happy and become the best that I can be.

Reading the Book of Mormon has likewise transformed my life. I have loved the wisdom shared within its pages. Like the New Testament, it has strengthened my resolve to follow Christ.

I have taken the challenge of asking God for myself if the Bible and Book of Mormon are true. And my prayers have been answered. I am a Mormon because I know that the Book of Mormon and the Bible are true. I am a Mormon because living the teachings of Jesus Christ has made me happy.

Personal Stories

Why do Mormons go on missions?

I served a mission to central Mexico between 2000 - 2003. The experience truly changed my life. I witnessed first hand the power of the Gospel in changing people's lives for the best. My mission was a unique opportunity to focus almost entirely on serving other people. It brought tremendous personal happiness, satisfaction, and growth. My wife and I are looking forward to the time when we can both serve as a senior missionary couple.

How I live my faith

Currently I participate in church as a Sunday school instructor. I teach members about the temple and help them to prepare to enter it for the first time. In addition, I help teachers to become more proficient instructors and teach a course to help strengthen family ties.

I also work with the local Boy Scout Troop as an advancement committee chairperson. I love helping the scouts to achieve ranks and earn merit badges.

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

Kylir answered...

Yes, absolutely! When we pass from this life to the next, we only take a few things with us. Who we are, our knowledge, and our experiences are some of those things. Our relationships with others and our family ties can be another.

I am grateful for the knowledge that I can be with my wife and family after I die. Life on earth would be miserable without them. Likewise life in the eternities would be lacking without them.
Mark answered...

This is more than just instinct. We are indeed eternal beings whose origin is before the creation of the earth. And one of the things we come to earth to do is to find a companion, not only for this mortal existence, but for eternity as well. God has provided the place, the Temple of the Lord, and the authority, the power to seal things on earth and in heaven. So that eternal relationships can be established here and enjoyed after this life is done. Do I believe it? I feel certain that these principles are true. The Holy Ghost confirms that to my spirit.

Are Mormons Christians?

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.
