Hi, I'm Joseph

I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am a part-time graduate student wokring full-time for the State of Florida. I have been married for almost a year to an amazingly strong, very sweet woman that is most definitely my better half. We hope to be able to start a family soon as I am able to provide. I love sports, good weather activities (anything from leasurely walks to backbacking and almost everything in between), and the beach!

Why I am a Mormon

I am a Mormon because I know that this gospel is the only true gospel of our savior Jesus Christ. I know that it is through his great plan that we can fullfill our purpose in this life and the next. I know that Heavenly Father loves us and has provided this plan through His son to allow us to live in eternal happiness. I know this through the promptings of the Holy Ghost and will never deny those feelings.

Personal Stories

Why do Mormons go on missions?

Mormons go on missions to fillful the calling in life to spread the true gospel of Jesus Christ. We know that this is the way to Happiness and want everyone else to have this knowledge.

How I live my faith

I live my faith by trying to be a better person everyday. I know how blessed I am and always try to live in a manner that shows respect for that. I look for ways to help others as I try to follow the example of our Savior. I am a part of the sunday school program and guide discussions on the New Testament with high school aged teens every Sunday. I am also privileged to be assigned to visit once a month and tend to two wonderful families that are a part of our congregation.

How can I find someone to talk with, in person, about the Mormon religion?

One of the best ways to learn about basic tenants of our religion is by checking resources like this website, chatting with the missionaries, and have them send you some resources (like a Book of Mormon, videos, etc.) and then try finding the closest LDS chapel in your area by looking in the phone book or online. They can have missionaries come to your home and teach you if you wish. Another good way is to go to church with a friend or an acquaintance of yours who is LDS, and they can also connect you with the missionaries. If you don't have any of those resources nearby, chat with the missionaries and they will find a way to have someone connect with you. There's probably more Mormons around than you think.

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

Casey answered...

Love the sinner, not the sin. We do not uplift or support it in any way. We try to help those overcome this serious and difficult urge of same-gender attraction. To some it is very serious, they feel they are 'borne' that way. Others feel great peer pressure, some are simply curious. Not matter the case, it is simply wrong. It is not ordained of God, and God does not take it lightly. To those who may struggle with this very urge, as you avoid it, and try to overcome it, God will strengthen you. Some people struggle with an addiction toward pornography, or cigarettes, some it might a seemingly over-powering urge toward alcohol, or to some, same-gender attraction. No matter the urge, they are all not of God and all Satan's devices to bring down worthy and righteous souls down to his level of misery. The family is ordained of God and it is our responsibility to uplift and support the family in any way we can.
