Hi, I'm Jordan

I'm a college student, a basketball player and I'm a Mormon

About Me

I'm a 20 years old and love to play sports, mainly basketball. I'm the oldest of 5 kids. I have the greatest family on the earth. I like being outdoors and listening to good music. I am going to college to become an engineer.

Why I am a Mormon

I'm a Mormon because I came to know that the Book of Mormon changes lives. It changed mine. I was challenged to read it and did. The first time I finished it I wasn't really searching. I felt the need to read more and did. When I really wanted to know.. and prayed God answered me. He did it in His time, but He knew exactly when I needed it. I'll never be the same. It helped me to stay away from temptation when I was growing up and now keeps me living His gospel everyday. I've come to feel of the peace that only God can give. When hard times come I turn to His word and He gives me peace that the world just can't give. John 1426 I've fallen in love with His word and I've found meaning in my life.

How I live my faith

I personally love the scriptures! I love looking for the answers that God has to give me in them. Reading scriptures is a vital part of my day. I don't miss a day reading some part of His word. I thirst for the light and peace that comes from those words. I also try and do at least one good deed a day. I believe that we are way to busy in this world and that if we never just stop and do something nice then we are missing the boat! Serving is a vital part of being a follower of Christ.

Why do Mormon missionaries proselyte?

Jordan answered...

Missionaries proselyte, or talk to as many people as they can because we love the gospel and want to share it with everyone! I believe we are ALL children of our Heavenly Father and He wants us ALL to return to him. The only way that we can is through the gospel that Jesus taught.

Our decision to serve missions is motivated by our belief in the Gospel and our desire to fulfill the Savior's command to "preach the gospel to every creature" Mark 16:15. The Gospel teaches us that we are all sons and daughters of God, and so we feel a kinship with all of God's children and a desire to help them enjoy the peace in this life that the Gospel provides.Our missionaries are not salesman and won't take much of your time, but I know that your decision to invite them into your home will change your life for good!

Do you really believe there is a prophet like Moses alive today?

Ryan X Allred answered...

Absolutely. If God loved his children in ancient times enough to send them, does He love us any less?

Prophets serve at least 2 purposes.

In the past, Christ Jesus personally called prophets, apostles, evangelists, teachers, deacons, etc, according to the Apostle Paul. He uses such leaders to help move His great work forward, because it is through selfless service that we develop Christ-like qualities and allow us to be one with Him so that we may be One with the Father. Having a living prophet allows the Father to teach hitherto new principles or doctrine to all His children. We can always interpret scripture to meet our intimate needs through personal revelation via prayer and communion with the Holy Ghost. But the greatest acts of service are always done through the synergistic power of communities, whether they are a family or a nation. Our Father in Heaven understands this and he communes with his living prophet, Thomas S Monson, in order to bless the lives of all His children regardless of their circumstances or creeds.
