Hi, I'm Margaret

I'm a Mormom. I am from Miami and am a mental health therapist.

About Me

I am a lifetime learner: two Masters and currently working on a PhD. I am proud of these accomplishments and have worked hard for them. I value education. I have three children who are mostly grown and enjoy reading, biking, gardening, and 3-D movies and spending time with my family.

Why I am a Mormon

The spirit whispered to me that I needed to be baptized by full immersion and soon after, missionaries knocked on my door and my youngest daughter and I attended the LDS church for the first time and we were baptized together a month later on July, 9, 2009. It felt good and it felt right and we were filled with the spirit. Now that our eyes have been opened to the truth, we know too much to ever be able live without the love and support of the Latter Day Saints.

Personal Stories

Why do Mormons do family history or genealogy work?

To understand that in the afterlife, there is still work to be done and our ancestors will appreciate that we shared this opportunity to be baptized after they have passed on and to be able to seal families together forever.

Why/How do you share the gospel with your friends?

When the Holy Ghost inspires me to do so and the opportunity presents itself, I am proud to say that I am Mormon and share what is in my heart as what comes from the heart, reachest the heart.

How I live my faith

I am dedicated to my callings and am honored that I have been entrusted to have been set apart by our leaders to have been chosen for them. I lean on my hometeachers for support and guidance and the sisters of the relief society are an inspiration to me as well. I was a teacher for the young women, Ward Representative for the Singles in our church and now a Teacher for the adult women.

Here is a simple step by step instruction on how to know Mormonism is true.

1. Meet with missionaries.
2. Pray to Heavenly Father with real intent and ask something like this, " I want to know if this is Your church, so is this Your church?".
3. READ THE BOOK OF MORMON! Ask God if it is true.
4. Look for an anwser from God. He speaks with us through our thoughts and feelings by the Holy Ghost. Ask the missionaries for more details.
5. Come to church to see for yourself.
6. Keep the commandments that the missionaries teach you.
7. Repeat until answer is received.

How can we increase our faith in Jesus Christ?

Brian answered...

Faith in Jesus Christ doesn't just happen. You have to work for it. I discovered my faith increasing when I decided to study the scriptures for a minimum of 30 minutes a day. Doing so has allowed me to understand the doctrines of the gospel on a deeper level. Scripture study coupled with daily personal prayer where I really try to converse with my Father in heaven, and seek to know His will concerning me, rather than give him a list of my wants and needs and ask him to grant them as if he was my personal butler. The best way I have found is to seek to do as Jesus did. Be friendly with everyone I meet. Go the extra mile and help people beyond what is expected. Avoid judging people and try to find the good in people, rather than dwell on their weaknesses. I've found that seeking to do God's will and striving to live like Jesus Christ taught us to live, has not deprived me of anything, rather by doing things Heavenly Father's way has freed me and brought me more happiness than trying to do it my own way.
