Hi, I'm Felicia

I love to laugh. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am currently a university student excited to graduate soon with a bachelor’s in linguistics and minor in theatre. I grew up with the performing arts and love good plays, movies, and music. I recently had my first taste of world travel and now have caught the travel bug. I love experiencing and learning about other cultures.

Why I am a Mormon

I don't know what my life would be like without the knowledge and comfort that I've received from being a member of this church. Since I was a little kid, I loved learning, and I’ve recently realized the wonders of all that there is to learn. It may seem daunting at times but it is truly a spectacular blessing—this life is not the end, but a preparation for more to come. And while we’re here, we aren’t left to blindly stumble. Our loving Heavenly Father is there with us every step of the way and will answer anything we ask. No matter what, it will always turn out if we simply remember to keep Him involved and then trust in Him. He sent his son to atone for me (and you) individually. Jesus Christ truly knows every joy and heartache and will be there with us every step of the way.

How I live my faith

My religion is part of everything I do. We are taught principles and then given the trust to make our own decisions. Everything we do revolves around the Savior Jesus Christ. I live my faith by trying to always remember this. I attend a weekly religion class outside of my Sunday meetings and participate in daily personal prayer and scripture study. I need the Lord’s help every day, and when I invite him to be a part of my life, I’m always happier. I also try to serve others. As we are taught in the Book of Mormon, “when ye are in the service of your fellow beings, ye are only in the service of your God.” In my striving to be a disciple of Christ, I try to do as he would, and lift those around me. In so doing, I feel myself and my relationship with my Savior strengthened.

What do Mormons believe about family?

Felicia answered...

Family is absolutely essential in this life and will be there in the life to come as well. Through promises made with our Heavenly Father, we can be with our families forever. I love having this knowledge. No matter what happens, my family will be there for me. This knowledge helps me to know what I’m looking for in a potential husband—not someone who is perfect, but who loves God more than anything and loves me enough to want to work through our imperfections together and be with me for eternity. It’s like a fairy tale only better because it’s true right down to the happily ever after.

The family is a key component to support us in God's plan for gaining immortality and eternal life. All of God's children (all the inhabitants that lived, are living, and will live on Earth) are inseperably connected to each other, both (physically) by our Earthly families and (spiritually) by our Heavenly Father.

Families help us to understand our divine heritage. In this, life takes on purpose and meaning. Our immortal spirits were created by our Heavenly Father before Earthly existance, and we are directly connected to Him in this way. As a spiritual family, our collective purpose on Earth is to follow the commandments of God that lead us to live in heaven with Him again.

Our spirits need to progress, learn, and grow. In order to achieve that, Earthly existance was created as our test. Our Heavenly Father knew that being exposed to opposing forces on Earth was the only way for us to gain knowledge and wisdom.

However, we will not always choose righteousness, and so our Savior, Jesus Christ, is that great mediator to pay the debt of our mistakes. He is the only way by which we can be saved from our sins and transgressions. He is the ultimate example by which direction we need to live our lives. With the support of our earthly kin, we can learn from each other, serve each other, and strengthen our mortal weaknesses by being disciples of Christ. Our families are a gift from God, and we can be together forever.

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

Amanda answered...

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.
