Hi, I'm Keith

I grew up in Utah. I married and moved to Texas. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am a husband and father and am now beginning to have granchildren
Professionally, I am a self employed Certified Public Accountant with a tax preparation business and a QuickBooks maintenance business that I own.
I love theater and serve as treasurer for a family friendly theater in the DFW area. I also serve the community in other service related organizations.

Why I am a Mormon

I was born into the church and have been active all my life. As a teenager, I had the same questioning mind that many teens have. I knew I would be expected to serve as a missionary at age 19. I decided I needed to know for myself if this church was true. So I commenced to read the Book of Mormon for the first time by myself with the intent to learn for myself if it is what the church says it is.
I read every day and pondered the things I read. I knelt and prayed each night before going to bed. I committed to serve as a missionary if the Lord would answer my prayer. If not, there was no way I would go on a Mormon mission. I did not get an answer at first. In fact it took a few weeks as I continued reading. But in time, I would go to bed, with a most peaceful feeling. I truly experienced the assurance promised in Moroni Chapter 10. I felt God's love completely. I knew then without a doubt that Joseph Smith was a true prophet and that David O McKay was the living prophet of God at that time.
I did serve a mission to Brazil at age 19. Since, I have faithfully served in whatever calling I have received. I love the Lord, His restored gospel, and the peace that this knowledge brings to me every day.

How I live my faith

I begin every day reading from the pages of the Book of Mormon. This enables me to ask for and receive guidance from the Holy Spirit each day in all the things I do.
I attend the temple every week and have served as an ordinance worker when I had church callings that enable me to have this opportunity. I love the temples of the church.
I accept whatever calling, or service opportunity, I am asked to fulfill. With this attitude of service, I have enjoyed many wonderful experiences throughout my life including as a missionary, in boy scouts, and in leadership positions in both the ward and stake.
I have always believed I should live the things I teach. My family has faithfully held family home evenings, we pray together, and we attend church every week as a family. When my wife had callings that required her attention, I took care of the children. She did the same for me.
By serving the Lord first, we have been blessed beyond description in all other parts of our lives.

Who founded Mormonism and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?

Keith answered...

Joseph Smith was the founder, guided by visions and revelations from ancient prophets. His first vision was from God the Eternal Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. The church was started and continues to be led by Jesus Christ, whose name it bears.

Jesus Christ. The name of our curch is the Curch of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. When Christ was on the earth He started a church and it was organized by apostles, prophets, pastors, and teachers. Of course the organization that he set up later fell because people didn't want to hear from them. So later on, in the 1800s, Christ and Heavenly Father found it to be the right time to bring that same organization back to the earth. And they then called another prophet, the same way Christ did when he was on the earth. And that Prophet's name was Joseph Smith.

Do Mormons practice polygamy?

Cody answered...

We certainly do not. As a Mormon I've constantly been taught about the importance of family and how to strengthen those bonds. My mother and father exemplify the ideal of loving parents and I am so grateful for that loving bond my 5 siblings and I share with our mom and dad. Our faith does not teach, condone, accept, or defend polygamy in any way.

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.
