Hi, I'm Laurel Lee

I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I have many roles, but the ones I value most are: wife, sister, daughter, aunt, nurse practitioner, teacher, and friend.

I love crocheting, reading, cooking, and spending time with family and friends.

Why I am a Mormon

The church is true. I have prayed to know of its truthfulness, and my prayers were answered.
Gospel teachings give me hope and joy. Through Jesus Christ, I can be perfected, and live with my family forever.

How I live my faith

I live my faith through service. During church services I teach members of the congregation about genealogy, so they can find out who their deceased ancestors are. Once they have found ancestors, they can go to the temple and act as proxy for their relatives, which allows their relatives to receive the blessings of the temple and ultimately be bound together forever. I regularly visit women from my congregation in their homes, to share faith-building messages and to help them and their families as they need it.

I live my faith by continuing to learn about Jesus Christ, so I can try to be more like him. I attend church every Sunday, and I worship in temples.

What is the First Vision?

Laurel Lee answered...

Joseph Smith, a young teen in the early 1800s, was confused about religion. It was important to him to know which church was true. He read James 1:5 in the Bible and took that scripture to heart. He asked God which church was right. In response to his prayer, Heavenly Father and Jesus appeared to him. He learned that the true church was not on the earth at that time, and that he would be an instrument in restoring Christ's church to the earth.

What is faith?

Zen answered...

Of all the definitions of faith I have read or heard, I add the simplest and most complete to me, which is the Love of Christ. I cannot think of a better way to describe faith. Love of Christ is the substance of hope in something evident we can not see with earthly eyes. It is the faith in Christ or the love of Christ that enabled Able to make a more perfect sacrifice (Hebrews 11:4). That love is why we believe in Christ, it is why we have grace, it is why we have works, it is why we have belief, it is why we have hope, it is why we have charity, it is the very essence of faith, and faith is the very essence of the Love of Christ

Perfect knowledge is worthless without faith. For instance, most of us have perfect knowledge that applying a pointed pencil to paper will cause a mark. That knowledge will not make a mark if we do not exercise the elements of faith called works (picking up the pencil, applying it to the paper, and making a mark), belief (that doing so will make a mark), and hope (that it actually will make a mark). It is my desire that you would exercise works to find out about Christ and study Him, that you would believe on His words and His life and His sacrifice, and that you would hope that He would have an effect in your life. If you exercise this faith, you will truly come unto Him.
