Hi, I'm Audrey

I'm a college kid and a published poet. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am a college student who is always on the move. I never seem to be able to stay in one place for very long because of my school schedule. With the help of God and loving family and friends, I have made it to my senior year. Some things that I like to do is spend time with my family and friends, read, write, watch movies, go to plays, concerts, and other performances. I'm a friend, a sister,a niece, a granddaughter, and a daughter. Most importantly, I am a Child of God, just like all of you.

Why I am a Mormon

Why am I a Mormon? I'm a Mormon because I found out for myself that the doctrines and principles that are taught within this church are true. I know that there is a living God today, who has an infinite amount of love for His children, who were created after His image. He came up with a Plan to have His children continue to progress and to become like Him and to live with Him again, united for eternity with our loved ones. This is what makes life worth living, knowing that there is a way for us to be united with our dearest friends and families forever. This I know is true. This is why I'm a Mormon.

Personal Stories

How can we develop greater harmony in our homes?

The best way to develop greater harmony in our homes is to lose ourselves in service to our family or to those whom we live with. As the oldest child in my family, I was able to serve my younger siblings by helping them with their homework, or by playing a game with them that they would like to play. When I was living at home with my parents, I would help cook the family meals, or do chores that would need to get done. Now that I am attending college, I have taken the things which I have learned and applied them. I try to serve each one of my roommates, either by taking care of their chore for the week, or writing them an uplifting note, or talking and listening to them about anything that they would like to discuss. I've realized that as I continue to give service to others, I see them as God sees them. I develop a love for them, which helps develop greater harmony in the home where we live at.

How I live my faith

Some things that I do to live my faith is to be obedient to the Lord's teachings that I learn from attending church, praying, reading my scriptures, and so on. Some things that I have done within this church are fulfilling the callings that I had been given. These included being someone who let the members of the church know what was happening during the service, as well as events happening during the week, as well as helping members of the church do their family history, as well as teaching members of the church about the gospel. Anyway, these are just some of the things that I do to live my faith.

What do Mormons believe about “eternal life?”

Audrey answered...

Eternal life is to live within God's presence. We are able to return back to Him and live with Him again. We also believe that this is God's greatest work and glory, which is "to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man." Moses 139 Also, we believe everyone can receive eternal life as long as we are obedient in keeping God's commandments.

What is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' attitude regarding homosexuality and same sex marriage?

Joshua answered...

I am sexually attracted to other males. For awhile, I struggled with how a loving Heavenly Father could allow for me to be attracted to other males, and then ask me to abstain from same-sex relationships. However, as I have tried to deal with my attractions in a Christ-like manner, I have found that He really does love me. I have grown so much spiritually as I have learned to deal with my same-sex attractions. I now understand that everyone has challenges in this life. I am no different.

The Church has a high standard on morality. The only sexual relationships that are permitted are between a man and his wife. This may prove difficult for both people with same-sex and opposite-sex attractions. However, I believe that by obeying this law, we can gain greater peace and happiness. God does know what is best for us, and He gave us this law to bless us.

Same-sex marriage distorts what marriage is all about. It is based on the lie that because you are attracted to the same sex, you need to be in a same-sex relationship in order to be "true to yourself". Many members of the Church can testify that this is not true. Some have found peace and joy in celibacy, and others gone on to have faithful and fulfilling marriages. For a long time, I thought I couldn't get married, but the Lord has blessed me to develop a sexual attraction to a beautiful woman and we have a wonderful marriage.
