Hi, I'm Mike

I grew up in East Los Angeles, California. I was a Boys Scout, and a Boys Scout Leader for many years. I'm a Mormon

About Me

I enjoy being a Father and Husband, I grew up in a big family and because I grew up in a loving Mormon Family we are a very close loving family. I enjoy sports, camping but mostly being around my family. I am a Mormon

Why I am a Mormon

I am a Mormon because I have a testimony of the Book of Mormon and I know that it is another Testament of Jesus Christ. I know that our Heavenly Father loves us and gave us a way to get back to him through the Atonement of Jesus Christ our Savior. I'm know that true happiness comes from living the Gospel of Jesus Christ and that he Loves each and every one of us.

After I joined the Mormon Church I learned about the importance of families. Not long after that I realized that if I was going to follow this teaching I needed to tell my father that I loved him. That was very difficult for me since my dad and I argued so much. I spent the better part of 2 weeks trying to determine how I could do this. When the time came I found that the words came more easily than I had thought. From that point to the time he died, about 22 years later, he and I had an entirely different relationship. We were now friends. And I found how much I regretted all our arguments while growing up. And now I find that I miss him and more fully understand how important our families are.

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.

Becky answered...

Our church is the same church that Christ instituted while he was here on the earth. It is Christ's church and is called after him. Just as he had 12 Apostles, we have 12 Apostles and, as Peter was President of the Church after Christ ascended into heaven following His ressurection, we have a living prophet. Christ is the head of the church, but the prophet and apostles act for him and in his name. They have the same Priesthood power that Christ gave to Peter and the other apostles at that time. The prophet and apostles today are also called as seers, revelators, and special witnesses of Jesus Christ. Theirs as in the time of Christ is the duty to handle the affairs of the Church, to travel to different countries and bear testimony of and administer in the name of Jesus Christ. We have the opportunity every 6 months in a General Conference of the Church, broadcast over television, radio, and internet all over the world, to hear them speak about Christ, and to teach us how to become more like Him. They are important in their ministry as well as in the organization of our large, worldwide church membership.
