Hi, I'm Audrey

I'm a Nanny, wife and most importantly I'm a Mormon!

About Me

I am a nanny of 2 young children. I love to read and watch movies! For fun I like to hang out with my husband, play board games with my family. I am a newly wed, and I am so happy to be with the man of my dreams, my soul mate and true love.

Why I am a Mormon

I did not grow up in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I was raised Christian but did not regularly attend church. When my family did attend it was a Baptist church that my mom had grown up attending. I did not really feel at home or welcomed there so we did not attend often. In high school I attended church with a few of my friends a several different churches but I never felt comfortable or at home at any of them. When I started dating my husband he introduced me to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latte-Day Saints. I was interested from the very beginning. i started reading the Book of Mormon and Taking the missionary discussions. Everything seemed to instantly click. I felt like all of the things that the missionaries were teaching me I already knew. A couple weeks into dating I went to church with my boyfriend and I instantly felt welcomed and at home. I walked into the building and felt calm unlike the walk up to the door from the car. A month after starting the discussions I was baptized by my boyfriend, who is now my husband.

I am a Mormon because I truly believe what the Church stands for and teaches. I believe with all my heart that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day Saints teaches the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Personal Stories

Why do Mormons go on missions?

We go on missions to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those who have not heard it. We feel so blessed to have the Gospel in our lives that we want every one to share in the joy that it brings to us and our families.

How I live my faith

I attend church every Sunday unless something HUGE happens like a family emergency. At church I teach primary which is the younger children ages 3-12. This year I teach the 4 going on 5 year olds. There are 5 in my class and they are all great! I am also on the Relief Society (which is the Church's womens organization) board. We plan our activities and humanitarian efforts and classes. My husband and I try to read our scriptures as well as daily family prayer.

What do Mormons believe about family?

Audrey answered...

We believe that families are eternal, meaning that we will be together forever in this life and afterwards as well. Families are extremely important to us as members of the church. We strive to be good mothers, fathers, grandparents, sisters, brother, etc.

The family is a key component to support us in God's plan for gaining immortality and eternal life. All of God's children (all the inhabitants that lived, are living, and will live on Earth) are inseperably connected to each other, both (physically) by our Earthly families and (spiritually) by our Heavenly Father.

Families help us to understand our divine heritage. In this, life takes on purpose and meaning. Our immortal spirits were created by our Heavenly Father before Earthly existance, and we are directly connected to Him in this way. As a spiritual family, our collective purpose on Earth is to follow the commandments of God that lead us to live in heaven with Him again.

Our spirits need to progress, learn, and grow. In order to achieve that, Earthly existance was created as our test. Our Heavenly Father knew that being exposed to opposing forces on Earth was the only way for us to gain knowledge and wisdom.

However, we will not always choose righteousness, and so our Savior, Jesus Christ, is that great mediator to pay the debt of our mistakes. He is the only way by which we can be saved from our sins and transgressions. He is the ultimate example by which direction we need to live our lives. With the support of our earthly kin, we can learn from each other, serve each other, and strengthen our mortal weaknesses by being disciples of Christ. Our families are a gift from God, and we can be together forever.

How can faith in Jesus Christ influence us in our marriages and family relationships? in our friendships?

Brennan answered...

Jesus of Nazareth was, and still is, the great healer. It is our faith in Him which enables Him to perform miracles in our lives. Often that miracle is a change of heart which allows us to forgive, see others in a new light, or feel an increased measure of love. Having faith in Jesus as our divine redeemer enables Him to bless our marriage and family relationships with an increased measure of unity and love.
