Hi, I'm Kameron

I'm a Student, I'm a Singer, I'm a Mormon

About Me

My name is Kameron. I am a college student preparing to serve a mission. I am involved in music, especially men's a cappella music, and have been singing with a group for several years. I am way into barbecuing and good food. I am a big sports fan. But the best part is... I am a Mormon.

Why I am a Mormon

I am a Mormon because I want to be. I was born into a Mormon family, but I like many others have made the choice to convert myself to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The gospel gives me so much joy, comfort, and confidence in today's uncertain world. I just love being a part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and having the wonderful knowledge of the gospel!

Personal Stories

Why do Mormons go on missions?

Mormons go on missions to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored Gospel. Missionaries try to help people express faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, have the desire to be baptized, receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, and want to keep the Lord's commandments and endure to the end. I want to serve a mission to help others receive the great joy and blessings of the Gospel. It has brought me so much joy and knowledge in my life, and I very much desire that people everywhere can also experience this joy.

How can your talents and gifts bless others?

I love to sing and play musical instruments. I have found that music is a great medium for joy, not just for myself but for other people as well. I have had many opportunities to share my talents with other people through music and have seen the happiness it can bring to people, especially when the music expresses my love and testimony of our Savior, Jesus Christ. It is simply amazing how a testimony can be communicated through song. Other people can share their testimonies through a plethora of different abilities, including art, public speaking, and teaching. That is the joy and beauty of using our talents and gifts God has given us to bless others.

How I live my faith

I try my best to live my faith by example. I try to be the best person I can be. I also feel that living my faith includes investing my time and talents into helping myself and others in the Church progress spiritually. One of the things my friends and I have found that can really have a positive and powerful impact on people is sharing our testimonies of the gospel through music. Good music can really change people's lives. With a cappella music, which is singing without instruments, we use the voices that God gave us to spread joy and happiness to people. Overall, living by example, serving others, and spreading the joy is how I try to live my faith.

Do Mormons regard the Bible as Holy Scripture and the word of God?

Kameron answered...

We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly.

Jesus answered...

I personally enjoy The Bible as one of my favorite books. I know it is the word of The Lord. As I read the bible, I also tried to study where it came from. Before joining the church, I did believe that the bible was the word of God. But why? I believed in it before reading it... Well, the reason why I know, is because I ask God and He answered me. There is no other way. I wasn't there when it was translated, so how can I know? Some people just believe that it is true because everybody else says so. Heavenly Father can answer our prayers, why don't we ask Him?

Why do you have 12 Apostles? They were just meant to be around for the time of Jesus Christ, not to be replaced with new apostles.

Garet Mang answered...

Well if Jesus Christ decided to have twelve apostles to minister to the people once he was gone, then why would he change his mind and decide not to have them ever again?
The twelve Apostles are like a pedestal, a foundation, where the church which is a beautiful vase is built upon. (Ephesians 2:19-20) When there was twelve and Juda fell away, it was important to replace that lost leg of the pedestal, so they chose Matthias, to replace Juda so the foundation would continue to be strong.
But when all the apostles where killed off, and rejected. It was like pulling a leg off of the pedestal, leg by leg. once you start taking off almost all of them, it becomes very unstable. because all the legs were torn off, the vase fell. And everyone knows when a vase falls, it shatters. There were still bishops around though, and they tried to piece the vase back together, and made it look very similar to what it once was. but there were still cracks in it and it wasn't perfect. And if you place water in that vase, it's going to leak out of the small cracks. Those cracks are small and simple truths, and authority that was lost. Because even the Bishops had to report to the Apostles before they were killed
But because God loves us and is perfect, he had Jesus Christ work through Joseph Smith (A prophet) and created a new Vase exactly like the one he made before (The Church), and a new pedestal (The Twelve Apostles). Because Jesus Christ church was the way he wanted it, and so it is again.
