Dillon: Mormon.

Hi, I'm Dillon

I'm a student, I'm a missionary, and I'm a Mormon.

About Me

Right now I am serving a mission in California. I've grown in Virginia all my life and have loved it. Before my mission, I went to a college for a year. Before my mission I liked to play sports, lift weights, and drink protein. Now all I like to do is share the gospel! My family is the best ever.

Why I am a Mormon

Because it's true!

How I live my faith

I live my faith by striving my very best to follow the example of Jesus Christ by thought, word, and deed. As I missionary I strive to keep God's commandments more than ever and try to set an example for others.

  • Why don’t Mormons drink coffee, tea, or alcohol? What is the Mormon Church’s law of health and proper diet?

    Braden Scothern

    Braden Scothern answered...

    We do not drink coffee, tea, alcohol, use tobacco, or illegal drugs because of a commandment known as the Word of Wisdom.

    The Word of Wisdom was a commandment revealed to the prophet Joseph Smith in 1833. It tells us the importance of keeping care of our bodies because they are temples. (1 Corinthians 3:16-17)

    We know that while from the outside it may seem restrictive it really gives us freedom it blesses us physically and spiritually. The things that we are counseled to stay away from in this law from our loving Heavenly Father help us keep our agency. When you are addicted to something you have given up some of your agency, it controls you. Satan tries to use addictive things to bind us down so we cannot focus on our relationships with the Lord.

    In addition to us keeping our agency we are promised these things in the Word of Wisdom: "all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in obedience to the commandments... shall find wisdom and great treasures of knowledge, even hidden treasures... And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the destroying angel shall pass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them. Amen." (D&C 89:18-21

    So those who keep the commandment are able to be in tune with the Holy Ghost more. That is a great blessing because it is the Spirit that helps us stay on the path to eternal life and teaches us all spiritual truths.

Joseph Smith

As is the case throughout history God has communicated to His children through prophets. God used a humble man as a prophet to restore His Church on earth who ultimately died defending His faith.
