Hi, I'm Bridger

I'm a sports fanatic, I love physical therapy, I enjoy hunting, and I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I have been fortunate enough to grow up in the church all of my life.

I love baseball, football, basketball, and of course, who could forget golf? I really enjoy being outdoors whether it be camping, hunting, or fishing. I have really developed a love for wakeboarding and just chillin' on the lake.

I am planning on going to school for athletic training and then going to Physical Therapy school.

I come from a family of 5. I am the oldest with a younger brother and a younger step-sister.

Why I am a Mormon

I have always grown up going to church and doing the things I was taught to do but I didnt always know the reason behind doing them. I knew the gospel but I didn't have a testimony of it because I had never had to apply it in my own life.

When I was 8 years old, my father passed away from cancer leaving my mom with me and my little brother who was 5 at the time. It was difficult for all of us. But there was comfort knowing that I would see my Dad again someday. That is the first time that I was able to apply the gospel in my life. If I hadnt known about life after death, I know that my life would be much different than it is now. It has also been a blessing for me to know that all the trials we experience really are for our benefit. This experience allowed me to be best friends with my mom and brother. It was tough, but it moved my family closer to one another and ultimately made us all stronger because of it.

I am so grateful for my family and the opportunity I have to spend all of eternity with them. I know that our families can be together forever when we simply follow the teachings of our Savior. He has done so much for us and asks so little of us in return.

Personal Stories

How does making right choices help us make more right choices?

I have noticed in my life that the more right choices I make, the easier it is for me to do what is right in the future. When we just get in the habit of doing what is right, it just comes naturally.

How has your knowledge of the Plan of Happiness changed/benefited your life?

Because my Father passed away when I was 8 years old, the Plan of Happiness plays a key role in my life. I have never had any doubts about whether or not I would see my Dad again. I know that if I live my life the way Christ wants me too, then I will be able to see my Dad again and be with my family for all of eternity. All this is only made possible through the atoning blood of Christ.

How I live my faith

I live my faith by being an example to those around me. I attend my church weekly and try to help out others as much as I can by offering service.

How is the Book of Mormon different from the Bible? How did Joseph Smith obtain the “golden plates” or Book of Mormon?

Bridger answered...

Christ's Gospel is the same no matter where you are in the world. The Book of Mormon as well as the Bible both contain Christ's Gospel. The reason that we use both is because they are two seperate testaments of Jesus Christ. The Book of Mormon is the record of the people who lived on the American continent during biblical times and their dealings with Jesus Christ. The Bible is the record of the Jews and their dealing with Jesus Christ.

While they are two seperate books, they go hand in hand with one another and each contain the "fullness
of the everlasting gospel."

Joseph Smith obtained the gold plates from a Heavenly messanger who showed him where to find them. The reason it was important for Joseph Smith to translate the record is because that is the tangilbe evidence that we can read and pray about to know if he truly was a prophet called by God.

The Book of Mormon is also evidence that Jesus is the Christ and that he manifests himself to more that one nation. Our Heavenly Father loves all of his children and he wants to bless them. The greatest blessing we can have in our lives is the true gospel of Jesus Christ.

Why do some call Mormonism a cult?

Stephen Call answered...

In my opinion the real reason people say the Mormon Church is a cult because they don't understand. saying that it is a cult is an easy way to excuse themselves from learn more about it. Its like saying "sushi is slimy raw dead fish" or "computers are of the devil" its easy not to try / learn about stuff if you pair it with a negative word like "devil" or " slimy raw dead fish"
