Hi, I'm Lesli
I grew up in Idaho, I love people, I love laughing and I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I am a girl from a small town where I was born and raised. I went to college and met my husband my junior year, and we have the greatest time together. We love simple adventures and always find a way to make life interesting.
I am a very happy outgoing person, who loves people and I love finding out what makes them who they are. I'm not afraid to show who I am and I love being able to help make someone's day better. I love music and I am learning how to sew. Its an ongoing learning experience with the sewing, but its still really fun. Me and my husband try to live in the moment and experience as much as we possibly can. As my dad always says "Life is good."
Why I am a Mormon
I am a Mormon because the church stands for everything I want to be. I love knowing that I have a Heavenly Father who loves me. I love knowing that when I am going through a trial I can turn to my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ for guidance. I couldn't imagine going through trials alone without the help of my Heavenly Father and the Holy Ghost. The LDS church stands for something I believe to be true. People always comment on how I have a vibrance about me, about how they admire that I don't do harmful things to my body, or how much I care for others, and I tell them its because of the Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints. The teachings of the mormon church have guided me and uplifted me. The church has led me to a wonderful husband, and I love knowing that being a mormon means I am able to enter the LDS temple and be sealed for time and all eternity to my husband and children. I love feeling the spirit, and the feeling of peace that comes through the Holy Ghost. Everything the Church stands for, I want to stand for. I feel the spirit and love the comfort I get from it. I am a Mormon because without the church and the gospel I would be lost.
Personal Stories
How has the Holy Ghost helped you?
My story is simple. I was born and raised in the church, I had a very strong active parents who guided me and helped me down the right path all growing up. I was baptized at 8 years old and received the power of the holy ghost. I attended college in my hometown, and continued to live there when I was first married, life was good. I knew I had a testimony of the gospel but I lived in a town 99% mormons so my faith and religion was never questioned because everyone was mormon. That all changed when My husband and I packed up a U-haul with all of our belongings and drove across the country. I knew no one and was scared out of my mind knowing that I was out of my comfort zone, and that I wasn't surrounded by family and friends. I have never had to rely on my Heavenly Father more. I now have lived here for over a year, and I can truly say I have a strong testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day saints. I encouraged myself to pray, ask for guidance, and to have the Holy Ghost with me when someone did ask me about my faith. I love knowing that I have grown so much because of this experience. I have had to rely on my faith, and my knowledge and the spirit to guide me and help me teach and serve others who may not have the same religious views. I'm a much stronger member of the church now, because I know for myself that the church is true. I have grown up so much because I have had to rely on myself and had to learn for myself the truthfulness of the gospel, and I have. I have felt the Holy Ghost lead me through prayer, study and listening. Life is good, and I know that the Church of Jesus Christ if Latter Day saints is true. If you go looking for an answer, I promise you will find it.
How I live my faith
I live my faith by remembering that I am a child of God, and that I want to return to him someday. I love serving in my ward, I recently was called to be the primary music director where I teach the smaller children in the church to sing, and learn new songs. Its a blessing to be able to hear the sweet spirit of little children because they are so pure and have such an innocence about them. I continue to live my faith by knowing that things that are happening in my life are planned and have a purpose. Heavenly Father has promised me eternal life if I stay true to the teachings, and I try to keep that in mind everyday. I read the Book of Mormon, and say my prayers daily. I love being active in the ward, there are so many amazing people to meet, and to hear their stories. I love to read the talks by our Prophets and other church leaders. They are a constant reminder that we are loved, and protected from Satan if we choose to be protected. Its great to be able to relate to other's in our ward. We have functions that all the women get together and share about the gospel, and teach eachother new things. I live my faith by serving others, and being a good example. It does make a difference when you have a good attitude. I live my faith because I know there is a greater plan for me, and I am without my faith I would feel hopeless, and scared, but I know that no matter what happens to me here on this earth all will be good when I meet my Heavenly Father because I live my faith.
