About Me

Hi, I am a covert to the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The church is amazing and I know the gospel is true.
I'm Nineteen and I like to do a lot of stuff. I enjoy hiking and playing sports like; Basketball, Football, and Baseball. I'm not going to College right now. I'm actually serving a Mission in Alaska for Two years, from July 2011 to July 2013. I enjoy getting letters and if you want to write me send me an email at jacob.fisher@myldsmail.net.
I love doing just about anything. When I get home from my mission I will be working with some kinda of Law Enforcement and going to School in Texas, where my family lives. I enjoy meeting new people so if you do to email me!

Why I am a Mormon

The gospel is so amazing and It helps my testimony.
I come from a family who has gone to church, not the LDS church. We were members of the Methodist church. Before I joined the LDS Church I was looking for answers to questions and if there was more out there.
I joined the Church in January of 2010. I had been investigating the Church for about a year and a half before I decided I wanted to get Baptized. Partially, my parents didn't want me to get baptized while I was still in High School at the time, but I wanted to get baptized. I just couldn't so I had to wait. I didn't start meeting with the Missionaries until six months before I got baptized. The nine months before I met with the Missionaries, I was reading the Book of Mormon with a Friend and trying to find out more about the Church.
I was finishing up my Junior year in High School and I wanted to be baptized, but my parents wouldn't let, I was seventeen at the time. I was going into my Senior year of School. I was meeting with the Missionaries off and on. It was good because I was able to get a true understanding of the lessons and the Church, so I could actually be ready to be baptized.
Two weeks, before my eighteenth birthday, January 24,2010. I decided I wanted to get Baptized on my birthday. A week later I talked to my parents and they said I could get baptized only if it was something I wanted to do. It was something I truly wanted to do!

Personal Stories

How has the Holy Ghost helped you?

The Holy Ghost has directed me and given me truth of a lot of things. It has given me comfort and joy and happiness in my Life. It has testified to me that we have a Heavenly Father who loves us and that Jesus Christ is our Savior and that Christ's Church is built on the earth once again.

How I live my faith

I attend church every Sunday and I attend the Temple as much as I can. I try to go out with the missionaries. I also be myself and talk about my faith to everyone I talk to.

What is faith?

Jacob Fisher answered...

Faith has helped me to understand more about Jesus Christ and his Church and to know what is more out there.
Kempe answered...

It's another word for commitment. When assessing one's own faithfulness, it may be easier to ask, "How committed are you?"

What are Mormon Temples used for?

Aubree answered...

Temples are used to perform sacred ordinances necessary for salvation. One of these is a temple marriage--making it possible to be together as a family for eternity. Since these ordinances are sacred, only members who are striving to live the gospel may enter. All members are strongly encouraged to become and/or stay worthy to enter the temple. Members also go to the temple to seek guidance, comfort, and personal revelation from God.
