Hi, I'm Camille

I love old scary movies, reading, and 80's music. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I'm from Utah but I love to travel.
I've been to many countries in Europe.

I love reading, movies, and music.

I'm trying to learn to cook!

I'm madly in love with my husband.

I work for a music company. I help plan and organize concerts and I also make music videos!

Why I am a Mormon

Born and raised in Utah, I've been surrounded by Mormon church members (Latter-day Saints) my entire life. This was hard growing up, because I felt like a lot of my peers were living the Gospel simply because their parents told them to.

When I left home to attend a university, I felt lost and alone. I knew I needed to find true meaning for my life. I researched more about the church as well as other religions. I realized that although all religions encourage to live righteously, only the LDS church's Plan of Happiness gave me the hope I needed.

I am a fully active member of the LDS church because I believe it is Jesus Christ's restored gospel on the earth today.

Personal Stories

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

Because I know that my family can be together forever, death is just a temporary separation.

Two years ago my grandmother died. At her funeral, it was sad to see that some of her family members were so devastated. They thought they would never see her again.
Through the Plan of Happiness, I know I will be able to see my grandmother again. We can be together for eternity after our time here on earth.
At her funeral, while some people were miserable, I was at peace. I was happy my grandmother had lived a righteous life and I knew I would see her again.

I'm grateful for the Plan of Happiness because it gives me hope for an eternity with my family.

How I live my faith

I go to church every Sunday.
In my local ward, I am an advisor for the young women. I teach them lessons on Sunday and help them with weekly activities. It's a lot of fun!

I love that the church is very family-oriented. On Monday nights my husband and I have Family Home Evening. We love to be together on Mondays and play games or eat treats.

Are Mormons Christians?

Camille answered...

Many religions teach the doctrine of the Trinity. They believe that God, Christ, and the Holy Ghost are one holy entity.

Mormons believe that God, Christ, and the Holy Ghost are three separate beings. Since we believe Jesus Christ and God are distinct, separate people, many religions say we are not Christian.
However, this is not true.

Just like many other religions, we believe that Jesus Christ is our Lord, Savior, and Redeemer. We believe that he died to atone for our sins. The entire focus of our church is to bring people closer to Jesus Christ. We are indeed as Christian as they come.
Lily answered...

YES. Yes yes yes. What is a Christian? A Christian is a person that believes in Jesus Christ, and believes that Christ did in fact die for us so that we can repent and return to live with him again. He is our Savior and Redeemer. We pray and we worship in the name of Jesus Christ. He is the center of our faith. Jesus Christ is my Savior. He died for me. He loves me. He is my hero, and he is my best friend.

Do Mormons worship Joseph Smith?

Daniel. answered...

No. I've never even met the man.

One night I was on the front row of a concert. A big star came to the edge of the stage and held out his hand. EVERYONE rushed forward, climbing over each other, pushing and wedging themselves along, just to touch him. I almost got caught up in that too, and was about to rush ahead when a little voice kicked in "He's just a man. What's the big deal?" At that moment I vowed to never adulate anything less than deity. I will not go to my knees for anyone but a Loving God.

I respect Joseph Smith like I respect any man who tries his best to live according to his conscience. I hope maybe one day I'll get to chat with him over lunch--or over whatever kind of meal they offer in the life beyond. But I cannot worship a man, for why should I place and value one person any higher than another?
