Hi, I'm Carol

I was born a twin in Michigan as a baptist and thanks to her and the Missionaries, I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I was a single parent for many years while raising 4 beautiful children one of which has down syndrome.

Why I am a Mormon

After visiting many churches in my life "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" was the only one that could answer my question "After getting baptized by water how do I get baptized by fire and get the gift of the Holy Ghost" I am Mormon because I prayed about it and the Holy Ghost confirmed to me that this is the church that was organized by Jesus Christ when he was on the earth and was lost and restored by the prophet Joseph Smith for us today.

How I live my faith

I try to live every day in a way that my Heavenly Father would be pleased with me.

What is a ward/stake/branch?

Siegfried answered...

To make the administration of this world-wide church possible, the church is organized into geographical regions and sub-regions. The most basic administrative unit is called the "ward". The wards in the church vary in size but are comprised of a geographical area with anywhere from 300 to 700 members. The ward is presided by a bishop. A group of five to twelve wards are combined to form a "stake". A stake is presided by a stake president.
In regions of the world where there is a lesser concentration of members, "branches" are formed. These branches are equivalent to wards but usually have less members. A branch is presided by a branch president.
This organization makes it possible for 14 million members to each have local leaders that can provide guidance, teaching, and administering of the sacred ordinances of the gospel

For purposes of organization, a Ward or Branch is the group you meet with for church, based on where you live. They vary in size, branches are slightly smaller than wards, and wards vary in the various 100's of members. Wards and branches are then organized into stakes, containing several wards/branches.

Do you really believe there is a prophet like Moses alive today?

LaWana answered...

Yes, I truly believe there is a prophet today leading our church and bringing blessings into the world. Why would God provide a prophet in olden days, but not now? Did He love those people more than He loves us? Did they need guidance more than we do? Is the world less confusing now than it was then? The answers to all these questions are no. It only makes sense that God would have a prophet now as He did in days of old. He loves us just as much as He did those people long ago and we need Him just as much as they needed Him then.
