Hi, I'm Lesly!

I'm Filipina! I love our family!! I love to watch movies. I love make-ups! And I am a Mormon!

About Me

I came from a huge family! My father is the 2nd of 11 or 12 kids! My mother is the 1st of 7 and I am the 1st of 5! Fun! I graduated College already. I love our family, sooo much! I love drawing. I believe in the power of repentance. And that laughing at yourself is the best medicine of embarrasment and awkwardness! Haha!

Why I am a Mormon

My parents paved the way for me. I grew up in a Catholic home. My mother especially, taught me who God is. I always wanted to know more about Him. More than what I used to hear. When I was 11, I heard from the missionaries that were teaching us that God is our loving Father in Heaven and that He knows us individually and He knows our names! That touched my very young heart and I immidietly knew it was true! And it has always been true to me since, then. God knows us and our concerns that He sent two missionaries from far away to answer an 11yr old-girl's question! I love that! We also learned that families can be forever. My parents got baptized first and a month later 3 of us got baptized and now we are all members of the Church. That's awesome!

Personal Stories

How does making right choices help us make more right choices?

When we make right choices, things go right and we feel happy and people around us feel happy as well. And because we are happy and every one is happy, we would want to continue to have that happy feeling so we would make more right choices! That's how I feel. It's a chain for me! I like making other people happy!

How I live my faith

I do my best to be obedient and follow the commandments and then rely on the Lord Jesus Christ. Over time I learned not to be hard on myself when things in my life fall through. I have had opportunities to serve with the young single adults, youth and children in our ward. I loved it! Those opportunities had helped me a lot to grow, love other people and be happy!

What is the Atonement of Jesus Christ? Why was it necessary for Jesus Christ to sacrifice His life?

Lesly! answered...

The atonement of Jesus Christ is something that I am still trying to understand at least to the best that I could. I know, though that because of the sacrifice that Jesus Christ did out of pure love for us, all of Heavenly Father's children, us, can have that opportunity to go back to Him with our families. We can make it, with His help.

Who wrote the Book of Mormon?

Casey Dickson answered...

The Book of Mormon is a record of the ancient inhabitants of America, and their dealings with God; namely, the native Americans. God is no respector of persons; He loves all His children. He wants us all to make it back to live with Him; the Book of Mormon is proof to me that God loves all people of all nations; why would he only give His Word to just the Children of Israel?
The Book of Mormon was written by the prophets that were called of God on the American Continent; they too testifed that Jesus is the Christ, and he would surely come to redeem us from our sins. The book gets it's name from the prophet Mormon, who collected the individual records kept by prophets throughout the centuries, and complied them into one volume, written on gold plates. He gave them to his son, Moroni, who buried them in a hill by what is now known as Upstate New York. Centuries later, a young man named Joseph Smith, who wanted to know which church was true, had a vision of God the Father and His Son, who told him the truth was lost over the years, and he would be a tool in the Lord's hands to restore what was lost. A few years later, that same Moroni who buried the plates, visited Joseph as an angel of the Lord, and directed him to the ancient record. Through the gift on power of God, he was able to translate the book into English. The Book of Mormon helps us understand the fullness of the Gospel; with the Bible, we can discover God's will for us.
