Hi, I'm Jetmir

I grew up in Albania. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I like sports, particularly soccer. I am pursuing a career in Information Technology. I also like to fish or hunt. I speak fluent Albanian, English, and Italian.

Why I am a Mormon

I am a Mormon because I know that the Book of Mormon is true and I have improved because of this book in my life. I know that Heavenly Father lives. I know that Jesus Christ lives. I know that the Holy Ghost lives. I know that joseph Smith was a true prophet called of God to guide us in this latter dispensation. I know that families can be together forever, sealed eternally in God's temple.

How I live my faith

I help my wife every day. I visit my neighbors in our LDS community every month and help them spiritually and physically with things they need. I try to be an example to others. I help people around me at school if I see they need help.

What do Mormons believe happens to us after we die? What do Mormons believe about life after death?

Jetmir answered...

We believe that there is life after death and that this mortal life we are living is to prepare us for the afterlife.

What is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' attitude regarding homosexuality and same sex marriage?

Joshua answered...

I am sexually attracted to other males. For awhile, I struggled with how a loving Heavenly Father could allow for me to be attracted to other males, and then ask me to abstain from same-sex relationships. However, as I have tried to deal with my attractions in a Christ-like manner, I have found that He really does love me. I have grown so much spiritually as I have learned to deal with my same-sex attractions. I now understand that everyone has challenges in this life. I am no different.

The Church has a high standard on morality. The only sexual relationships that are permitted are between a man and his wife. This may prove difficult for both people with same-sex and opposite-sex attractions. However, I believe that by obeying this law, we can gain greater peace and happiness. God does know what is best for us, and He gave us this law to bless us.

Same-sex marriage distorts what marriage is all about. It is based on the lie that because you are attracted to the same sex, you need to be in a same-sex relationship in order to be "true to yourself". Many members of the Church can testify that this is not true. Some have found peace and joy in celibacy, and others gone on to have faithful and fulfilling marriages. For a long time, I thought I couldn't get married, but the Lord has blessed me to develop a sexual attraction to a beautiful woman and we have a wonderful marriage.
