Hi, I'm Reed

I am from Missouri and I love to listen to music. I am serving a mission in Wisconsin and I'm a Mormon!

About Me

I love to play football and follow current events. I was in student senate and I am currently serving a mission in Wisconsin. I love to read books about historical fiction. I love solving problem and listening to people. I spent most of my growing up in Missouri. I have 3 sisters, 1 brother and I have been raised by good parents who have taught me to love the Lord.

I love missionary service! I love it because I get to see the Gospel directly work upon people and watch the positive changes that they make in their lives.

After my mission i plan to go to college studying Law and Military Science while entering the JAG program and starting a family, but that could change over the course of a few days.

Why I am a Mormon

I am a Mormon because i want to be. I know that Jesus Christ lived, died, and rose again on the third day. I stand as a witness that Joseph Smith restored the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Earth in its fulness, that he did restore many plain and precious truths that were lost in the meridian of time, and that he did translate the Book of Mormon. I have read this book and i know that it is true and does bear forth good fruit. I have found through prayer and personal revelation that the church is true and the Prophet is real and there are twelve Apostles, and i love to listen to their words. I love the scripture Joshua 2415 "....as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord"

How I live my faith

Right now I am living my faith through service and love. I am serving a Mission in Wisconsin and currently serving in North Eastern and i am loving the ability to so actively live and learn in the Gospel. I live the the life that my Father in Heaven would expect me to live, there is no one set time in which I will suddenly be perfect. My life is an eternal progression of trying to live a Christlike life at all times.

How is the Book of Mormon different from the Bible? How did Joseph Smith obtain the “golden plates” or Book of Mormon?

Reed answered...

The Book of Mormon is a work of scripture comparable to the Bible. The Bible has been through many translations and changes, and because of them things may seem confusing or perplexing for doctrine and principles. The book of Mormon deals with the people of America in ancient times. it has been through on translation and is very helpful to clarifying and supporting the bible while also offering truth and light necessary to our salvation. It takes nothing away from the bible. I love the bible and the Book of Mormon dearly.

What are Mormon women like? Do Mormons believe in equality of men and women?

Keri answered...

Mormon women are like any other good woman who is trying her best to raise a family in love and trying to leave the world a little better for future generations.

Mormons do believe in equality of men and women. We believe husband and wives are to work side by side, not one dominating over another. But equality does not mean being exactly the same. We believe that God gave men and women distinct and different roles/assignments to fulfill. Men are primarily responsible for the physical welfare of their families while women are to nurture and care for their families. Although the roles are different each one is important and critical.
