Hi, I'm Mindy

I'm a CNA, a nursery worker, a wife, a sister, & a friend. I plan to become a Special Education Teacher & I'm a Mormon.

About Me

First of all my hobbies are: Anything dealing with horses in particular, trail riding; acrylic painting, drawing, illustrating, writing adventure fiction and fantasy, I'm an avid reader, i love to cook and make up new recipes even though i am bad at remembering to put it down on paper (i almost never measure out my spices... ever. I just know what to put in), i love to learn about history and i love English and Classic Literature of all kinds. I love to serve others around me... maybe a little too much. I'm a happy person by nature.
Secondly, I have plans to someday become a special education teacher and then administrator. I also plan to become a mother hopefully sometime soon. I have a license as a Certified Nurse Aide or CNA, again because i love to serve and help others. I'm definitely a Social Butterfly. I Hope to have a nice decently long life ahead of me.

Why I am a Mormon

I was born in the church but then again everyone always has the choice to stay in their religion right? So i stayed a member of the church because i find there is nothing comparable to the peace, joy, happiness, and spiritual safety it brings to be a member of this church. Just the knowledge and understanding you gain from the church and the surety you gain that every piece of it is true, is the biggest comfort in this life. I know without a doubt everything i have learned here has made me who i am because i was taught the things i needed to know to navigate though this life safely and how to make it even when the going gets tough. there are countless things that could have ended really badly that didn't because i knew through what i had been taught how to handle it, find the way out of it, and got out of it. I know it without a doubt this church is true.

How I live my faith

i have served in callings in whatever ward I've been in such as a activities committee member, a webelos assistant cub scouts leader, a nursery worker and a primary teacher for the 10 year olds (Primary, is the classes and a singing time the children ages 3 to 11 go to during the adult classes on sunday). When the opportunity arises i also serve in the community as well. For example there was one time i served as a poll book judge on election day in 2008.

How can we come to know our Father in Heaven?

Mindy answered...

Anyone can come to know our Father in Heaven no matter what religion through diligent, daily scripture study, prayer, and going to church faithfully. Ask Him, in prayer, your questions. Tell Him your concerns, he will answer and help you in return in the way He deems best for you to help you grow. Included in this are keeping the Lord's commandments outlined in the holy scriptures and having a Christ like attitude in all aspects of our lives and in our day to day dealings with our fellow men. Think, "How would I act or what would I say if Christ or my Father in Heaven were standing right beside me at this very moment?". Almost as if He were that friend or sibling that was tagging along with you to help you out. Some of the best advice i ever got that I am constantly working on is this: "Act don't react. The choice is always yours." I know if you do these things you will be happier and you will come to know our Savior and our Father in Heaven well.

I have come to know our Father in Heaven through private prayer and service. As I pray and receive answers through impressions and feelings, I am able to assist in His work. At other times, I have been comforted at the times when I needed it most by a very real presence. I feel His love as I serve others and I can feel His love for them.

What do Mormons believe is the purpose of life?

Aileen. answered...

This question started my whole spiritual quest, so it is only most appropriate for me to now answer it.

Mormons believe that we were chosen by the Heavenly Father in the spirit world pre-existence to receive a physical body and to come to Earth to our specific mother and father. We agreed, and we essentially are fighting on Heavenly Father's "side" in the war with Lucifer. It is our spiritual "job" in this world to live a certain way, to use our agency to choose between good and evil, in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ, Heavenly Father's only son, whom He sacrificed to allow for our atonement to allow for our spiritual progression.

Mormons believe that while here on Earth, we should learn and live more like our Heavenly Father. This is our spiritual quest which is accomplished through our choices. We marry and build our own family, and by following the Scriptures and living accordingly, we receive access to the Temples where eternal ordinances are performed individually and together as a family.

We can be with our family forever, after death, joined together in Heaven, with Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father. We have greater peace in this life and eternal joy in the life to come. This is the purpose of our life here.

Before I understood this and became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, my life was reasonably happy but devoid of purpose. Something was missing. I felt incomplete.

Now, I have peace. My soul is soothed.

Joseph Smith

As is the case throughout history God has communicated to His children through prophets. God used a humble man as a prophet to restore His Church on earth who ultimately died defending His faith.
