Hi, I'm Debi

I’m a mother of 5 kids and 4 grandkids and I’m a Mormon.

About Me

I’m a mother of 5 kids. I graduated with a Bachelors Degree and worked in the schools as an office clerk. I now teach piano, and work in my garden trying to grow raspberries and strawberries, I do much better with them and I don’t do so good with vegetables. I love to camp and being outdoors, Hiking and swimming is a favorite pass time and when the weather is warm I love going to the lake and swimming. I enjoy doing Family History and Indexing, also taking pictures and creating family calendars and movies. I also enjoy working on the computer whether it is keeping a journal, editing photos or videos or making my own videos.
When I can I love to travel and will jump at every change to go some place new and adventurous.

Why I am a Mormon

I’m a mormon because I know that the principles taught in the church are true and they have helped me throughout my life to be a better me. Some may say that the church is too strict but it is not. All laws are there for our protection. Can you imagine driving without any laws to obey. What a disaster it would be. We all have choices and it is up to you to make your own choices.. Just be prepared to live by them. I have felt the guidance of the Holy Ghost in my every day life in small and major decisions. It is true and that conviction and testimony helps me through my everyday life. I have a purpose!

How I live my faith

I try to live my faith in all that I do. I try to apply the principles of the gospel in everyday living and through the example that I hope I can be for others. I am not perfect. No one in the church professes to be perfect. In fact we are far from it.
I worked at a school and one of the teachers commented to me that she always looked forward to having some mormons in her class because she knew that they were honest and trustworthy.
Working with the youth at our church has been a positive building experience for me and has helped me to be a better example for them knowing that they watch how I act, and talk to others.

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

Debi answered...

A husband and wife can be sealed together for eternity in the Temple. Because of that sealing for eternity I feel that we work harder to make our marriages work. We don’t let the little things interfere with our marriages. I know that with my marriage we worked hard everyday to make it a good one, one in which we could trust and support each other. We prayed and studied together, counciled about our children and everyday living. We were best friends!
I recently lost my husband and I am so grateful to know that we will be together in the eternities. It makes me want to do my best while I am still here on the earth.

YES!!! This is one of my favorite parts of the gospel. I believe that my family will live together in heaven. I will know my family as my family members. My husband is my husband for now and for all eternity. My children are my children here on earth and for all eternity. I know that if something happened to one of us that I will see them again. I love this about the church. Before joining, I always had a question about this concept and when taking the discussions from the missionaries this came up. Makes me love the church more and more.

What are some of the ways that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints helps those around the world?

Spencer answered...

I had the opportunity to see first hand how the Gospel has changed lives in every way. I served for the church in South America and saw that the teachings of the gospel helped countless individuals in financial crises, relationship problems, health issues, quality of life, personal happiness, political and social issues, and every imaginable aspect in life. I saw people with addictions overcome them and change their lives. I saw the jobless gain work through help of the Lord and help of the church. I saw marriages improved and even saved. I witnessed the sick and inflicted cured through faith. And so, to answer what the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does to help those around the world, I would testify that it blesses lives in every aspect.
