Hi, I'm Aubrey

I'm a new wife and mother. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I've been happily married for two years and have a toddler. I enjoy doing simple crafts, thrift shopping, and hosting parties. I like to keep busy, but I also like to just sit and watch a show. My favorite thing to do is hang out with my family.

Why I am a Mormon

As a young girl attending church, I felt in my heart that the principles taught were true and virtuous. At a young age, I felt the Holy Spirit testify of the truth of the LDS gospel. Whenever I was having a problem, I turned to the Lord for help and support, and after my prayers were continually answered, I knew that the Lord loved me, and that I was a daughter of God. I have strived to live His gospel, and keep His commandments, so that I can have His spirit with me always, to guide me in my day to day decisions.

Personal Stories

In what ways have your prayers been answered?

As a college student, I am so busy with school, work, church, and family that it is difficult for me to get everything done each day. Often when I find that I am getting in over my head, I realize that I haven't been praying. Then I remember to begin each day out with prayer. I pray that the Lord will bless me to organize my time more efficiently that I can get done what I need to. My days run more smoothly, and I more productive when I have first prayed for the Lord's help.

How has your knowledge of the Plan of Happiness changed/benefited your life?

Because I know that this world is not the end of my life, I live my life with purpose and meaning. I find myself trying to be better, and do better, because I know my decisions today matter.

How I live my faith

In my church ward, it is primarily newly married students. I love to go visiting teaching each month, where my companion and I are able to go visit a few sisters. We help them with anything they might need that month, chatting about our daily lives, as well as sharing a brief lesson where we discuss gospel principles. As we meet each month, our bonds of friendship are strengthened and we become more unified as a congregation.

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

Aubrey answered...

Families can be eternal. That is what Heavenly Father wants for all of his children. Through righteous living, LDS members can be sealed (married) in the temple for time and all eternity. As families have children, the children are then born under the same eternal promise. The promise (covenant) to be an eternal family depends upon the family members' obedience to the commandments of the Lord. This is such a blessing to me and my family. We were married over a year ago, and have been blessed with a new little boy. The knowledge that we can be together forever brings such peace and joy to my life.

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.

Are there restrictions based on race or color concerning who can join The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and have the priesthood?

Robin answered...

No there is no restriction. Heavenly Father made us all different but we are still brothers and sisters. We have a wonderful melting pot of races and colors. We only see our brothers and sisters.
