Hi, I'm Andy

I play guitar. I'm a carpenter. And I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am 20 years old and serving as a missionary in Raleigh, North Carolina. My pastimes are playing guitar, which I've done for three years, airsoft and paintball, and working on my car. I also like to design and build custom furniture.

Why I am a Mormon

Although I was raised in the Church, I had to find out for myself before I could serve as a missionary. I read the Book of Mormon, and prayed to know. I have my answer, and now I help others to find theirs.

The more I live the teachings of Jesus Christ, and follow the counsels of a modern day prophet, the more I know that this is Christ's Church, restored to us in these days, and that the Book of Mormon teaches us the fullness of the Gospel as does the Bible.

How I live my faith

I'm currently serving as a full time missionary for the Church. In the past, I've also served as a teacher and a home teacher. I am not payed for any of these services, but I have been blessed in more ways than I can count. Our gospel is one of selfless service, and that is evident in all we do.

Who is the Mormon prophet today?

Andy answered...

The prophet of the church today is President Thomas S. Monson. Like Moses and Abraham of the old Testament, and Peter and Paul of the New Testament, he speaks directly with God to receive revelation to guide the Church of Jesus Christ on the earth in these Latter Days.
This is a bold claim that we have, that there is a prophet on the earth today, who guides Christ’s church, and the only way to know if it is true is to ask God in prayer. He repeatedly promises throughout the scriptures, “knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” He will answer our prayers, if we study the subject, and ask him in faith, with a sincere desire to know if it is true. I know that Thomas S. Monson is God’s prophet on the earth today, and I know that God will answer your earnest prayer.

President Thomas S. Monson is our current prophet. He is called of God to receive revelation for us today. I am grateful for living prophets and apostles to lead and guide us in this troubled world. I know that they are called of God, and if we follow their counsel we will be happy.

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

Christian answered...

Honestly admitting that you have homosexual feelings is often a scary and humiliating process – many are mistreated and must sort through these powerful emotions on their own. You have my deepest admiration and love. Your life is an amazing opportunity to make choices which will bring you peace and fulfillment. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I extend to you the same invitation that was extended to me: communicate your desires, fears and struggles to your loving Heavenly Father in prayer. Come to church with me! Or any other Mormon friend of yours. Give your burdens to God and trust in His plan for you—one that by design results in your greatest happiness.
And when you go to church on Sunday, know that you are on equal standing with those who do or don't have same-gender attraction. I know that faithful and obedient members of the Church will welcome you and love you.
Just like heterosexual members of our church, it is not a sin to be attracted to someone. However, intimacy is a sacred part of a loving relationship between a husband and wife. We are surrounded by a world of smut and filth which make a mockery of true love. Outside of marriage, the management of our sexual urges, whether homosexual or heterosexual, is to master the greatest power God has given His children on earth -- to create families.
