Hi, I'm Eric

I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am a happy, enthusiastic person who enjoys the outdoors. I love riding bikes whether it be BMX or Mountain bikes. I enjoy swimming and soccer as well. I recently got married to a wonderful woman and we are already expecting our first child.

Why I am a Mormon

I am a Mormon because I have come to know that Jesus Christ is my Savior and that the fullness of the gospel is found in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Personal Stories

Can you talk about the missions of the Church and your participation in them?

I served in the great Washington, Kennewick mission for two years. I learned so much and had so many amazing experiences that built my testimony as well as myself. The time I served there will always be treasured memories for me.

How I live my faith

My faith is an everyday part of my life. It is who I am and everything good in my life has come from living the standards that are taught in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

What do Mormons believe about family?

Eric answered...

Families can be together forever. It is a simple phrase, but I know it is true. Getting married in the temple and having confirmed that what is sealed on earth is sealed in heaven has strengthened my testimony in eternal families. I know that whatever happens in this life, that if we live righteously, we will see and be with our loved ones forever.

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.

Does The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints endorse political parties?

Steven answered...

No, but we are instructed to be involved and to seek spiritual guidance in all political matters.

We believe that the leaders of a nation, state, and community can have a great influence for good or for evil and we need to ensure that they are represent our values and beliefs.
