Hi, I'm Krista

I am a wife, a mom, a blogger. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, and blogger. Balancing all of my roles can, at times, can be challenging but I wouldn't change a thing! I am blessed to be the stay-at-home mom of 4 precious boys who bring joy to my life. They have certainly taught me the importance of patience and sacrifice.

Why I am a Mormon

I discovered the church in high school from a dear friend who, by chance, slept over on a school night and had scripture study in the morning. Well, she was my best friend so of course I went with her! I was brought up believing in a higher being but without any formal religion. When I began studying the gospel of Jesus Christ I was filled with the Spirit. I attended early morning scripture study regularly and began reading the Book of Mormon. I prayed fervently to my Heavenly Father to direct me and asked if the book was true. My heart was touched and a feeling of peace swept over me and I KNEW it was! I was baptized as soon as I turned 18 and I have been blessed to be apart of this church ever since. I know this church is the true! It brings me such peace and guidance in a world of confusion.

How I live my faith

I have enjoyed, for many years, teaching the youth of our church. They are such wonderful examples of pure Christ-like love and I find myself learning more from them than they probably learn from me. As much as I enjoy teaching them I also love spending time and learning from other women. I have found some of my best friends through the programs at church.

Are there restrictions based on race or color concerning who can join The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and have the priesthood?

Derek answered...

Are we not all brothers and sisters, with God as our Father? The Lord looks upon the heart, not upon the outward appearance (1 Samuel 16:7). The criteria to become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ is based on a willingness to do what he has asked us to do, not based on some outward feature.
Robin answered...

No there is no restriction. Heavenly Father made us all different but we are still brothers and sisters. We have a wonderful melting pot of races and colors. We only see our brothers and sisters.

What do Mormons believe about Jesus Christ? Do Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God?

Nathan answered...

I go to college in what many people consider the "bible belt" of America. Many people assume I'm not a christian or that I don't believe in Jesus Christ as the literal Son of God. Most people don't realize just how christian our faith is and they're usually surprised at how similar many of our beliefs are. The truth is Jesus Christ is the Son of God and there is no other name by which people can be saved. Jesus Christ is my savior and the Savior of the world. His goodness is available to all and brings happiness to anyone who reaches out to Him.
