Hi, I'm Natalie.

I am a wife. I am a mother. I am a Mormon.

About Me

I am a wife and stay at home mom of an adorable 2 year old son. I work part time from my home as a team camp recruiter for my father's soccer camps. I never thought I would be a stay at home mom, but I love it. I enjoy every moment I can spend with my son and family. I also love reading, running, playing soccer, and I volunteer at the school I used to work for as a library assistant.

Why I am a Mormon

My parents were both converts to the church, but I was born in the covenant after they were baptised. Even though I grew up in a Mormon household, I still had to find my own desire and testimony to live the gospel outside of my parents house. I struggled a bit in college with my faith, but I met my future husband at Institute class. Together we knew that if we were going to be a family and raise one, there was only one way to do it - the right way - by being better members of the church and better followers of Christ. I love that our church focuses on the family. My husband and I were able to be sealed in the temple two years after we were married. Coming back to the church and developing a stronger testimony of the gospel has defined me as a person and made me happier. The church gives me and my family guidence, strength, and comfort. I am so grateful I live on the earth during a time when the gospel is restored.

How I live my faith

I currently serve as the Primary President for our ward. At first I was very overwhelmed by this calling, but I have grown to love it and accept the challenges that come with it. I love teaching the gospel in its most basic and simple terms. We have wonderful teachers and children in our primary and I love getting to know them better. I also hold regular family prayers, scripture study, and family home evening to try and help teach our son about the gospel. It can feel like a huge undertaking at times, trying to teach our little ones about Christ, but with His help and guidance all things are possible.

What do Mormons believe about family?

Natalie. answered...

We believe that families can be together forever. The family is central to our Heavenly Father's plan. We each have different roles and responsibilites in our family. By being married or sealed together in the temple we are able to be with our loved ones for time and all eternity. I am so grateful for my family and feel so blessed to have such wonderful, loving people looking out for me and helping me everyday.

Do Mormons worship Joseph Smith?

Michael answered...

We don't worship Joseph Smith. Although we recognize that our faith hinges on whether or not he was a prophet of God, we only worship God, the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ. We honor and respect Joseph Smith in the same way we do Moses, Abraham, or any of the ancient prophets.
