Hi, I'm Lorrie

I grew up in California. I homeschool my children. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am a wife and mother of 5. I home-school my children. I love gardening, animals, the outdoors, exercise, reading, and healthy eating.

Why I am a Mormon

I am a Mormon because it makes sense to me and feels right. I have not always been active in the church and I have not always adhered to the principles that I now know to be true. I am grateful for the Savior and the knowledge I have of repentance and forgiveness. I know I am a daughter of my Heavenly Father and he loves me. I know I can communicate with Him through prayer. He answers my prayers with what is best for me. I can receive personal revelation for myself. I love to learn from the ancient prophets as well from the prophets of modern day. I know the Book of Mormon is a true book from God and I use it in companionship with the Bible. I know Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God and Thomas S. Monson is our prophet today. He leads this church through our Savior’s instruction. I know that families and marriage can be eternal ordinances. All the hard work and knowledge I gain on this earth will be taken to heaven with me. I am grateful to have opportunities to make eternal covenants with my Heavenly Father. I am happy and at peace.

Personal Stories

What has helped develop greater harmony in your home?

Whenever I pray for guidance as a mother and wife in my home, the answer always comes back for me to be patient and love them. Patience and love helps me the most. I know my Savior is patient and loves me. I know that I need to lead by example. Everything that I want my husband or children to do I need to do.

How I live my faith

I have the opportunity to serve all the women and their families in the church in my area. In the community, I represent the church and my Savior. I am able to help women be more self sufficient and grow closer to their Savior.

What is the Relief Society?

Lorrie answered...

What is the RS? All the women in the church belong to this organization. It was established by our Heavenly Father shortly after the church was restored in the 1800’s. Its purpose is to help teach, organize, and inspire women and prepare them for the blessings of eternal life by helping them increase faith and personal righteousness, strengthen families and homes, and seek out and help those in need.

The Relief Society is the organization in the Church where women come together to strengthen, serve, and teach each other. It's Motto is "Charity Never Faileth" which women of the Church live by to bring relief to the weary and down trodden. Women meet as a Relief Society each week to learn about the Gospel and grow closer to Jesus Christ. Women are asked to serve in many capacities within the Relief Society and give of their time and talents. There are also activities where women share skills and do service for those in their community as well as victims of disasters around the world.

What is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' attitude regarding homosexuality and same sex marriage?

Erika answered...

Every one on this earth encounters their own set of challenges. It is through opposition that we grow, opposition is the reason we where sent to this earth so that we as individuals could make choices, gain experiences, and realize our divine potential. We are all Gods children we have all made the choice to come to this earth because we knew and loved God.

Each of us must learn how to overcome our own personal and unique set of challenges that we will inevitably face in this life; to some it may be an addiction, others may struggle with depression or constant need to compare. There are endless challenges and trials we will face. Amongst these challenges some will and have faced the challenge of same sex attraction. Does this mean that they are damned, unclean, broken? Absolutely not, it means that they are human. To take full advantage of this life we must learn to gain control of our bodies and to overcome the natural inclinations of our bodies. By so doing we begin to reach and see our divine potential, we realize that we are truly spiritual beings living in a mortal world with mortal challenges. But these challenges will last "but a small moment" and if we are able to endure them to overcome them we will leave this life and recieve our divine heritage of eternal life.
As members of the church we share a message that can and will help you improve the quality of your life no matter who you are where your from or the challenges you face this message will help you.
