Hi, I'm Jamie

I like science, hiking, and languages. I own an online publishing business. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I grew up in Utah, loved the mountains, loved rock climbing and hiking and camping, and met my husband while at BYU. In college I studied physics and psychology, but I finally graduated in English and editing. We lived in Italy, Belgium, New York, and Virginia for grad school, and my husband's work will take us to many new places for the rest of our lives. We currently live in the Marshall Islands. I kayak instead of hike now, because there are no mountains within 2,500 miles. We have one baby boy whose laugh is delightful. While he is napping or playing by himself I edit and design books for publication.

Why I am a Mormon

When I was reading the Book of Mormon as a freshman in college, I finished the book, knelt, and asked God if the Book of Mormon was a real record. Things fell very clearly into place. I am a logical, science-oriented person and this convinced me more than any vague self-concocted feeling could. God answered my prayer in a way that I understood. Because of the restored church and Christ's teachings I have a very happy marriage and an understanding of why life is hard—because life is still hard!

How I live my faith

Right now I teach the 12-18 year-old young women at church. It feels good to use my talents to bring joy and knowledge to others. I am also trying to teach others how to play hymns so when I go someone will know how. I do my best to love God, love my neighbor, keep the commandments, and be willing to change when I mess up.

Can husband and wife be together forever? Do you believe that families will live together in heaven?

Jamie answered...

Yes. I know there's more to come. I am grateful for that knowledge, which I got from learning about the Plan of Salvation. Ask a missionary about it sometime! I love my husband more than I can say. I am grateful for the peace that comes from knowing that we will be together again after this life because Jesus Christ broke the bands of death.
Mark answered...

This is more than just instinct. We are indeed eternal beings whose origin is before the creation of the earth. And one of the things we come to earth to do is to find a companion, not only for this mortal existence, but for eternity as well. God has provided the place, the Temple of the Lord, and the authority, the power to seal things on earth and in heaven. So that eternal relationships can be established here and enjoyed after this life is done. Do I believe it? I feel certain that these principles are true. The Holy Ghost confirms that to my spirit.

How can I know Mormonism is true?

J. Sean answered...

Here is a simple step by step instruction on how to know Mormonism is true.

1. Meet with missionaries.
2. Pray to Heavenly Father with real intent and ask something like this, " I want to know if this is Your church, so is this Your church?".
3. READ THE BOOK OF MORMON! Ask God if it is true.
4. Look for an anwser from God. He speaks with us through our thoughts and feelings by the Holy Ghost. Ask the missionaries for more details.
5. Come to church to see for yourself.
6. Keep the commandments that the missionaries teach you.
7. Repeat until answer is received.
