Hi, I'm Brent

I like Nephi, had goodly parents that raised me in the church, and I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am a father of five children. I like bike riding, the outdoors, raquetball, flying remote control airplanes, and spending time with my wife and family.

Why I am a Mormon

I am a Mormon, because of the GREAT Joy and Happiness that I recieve by being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ. His Prophet and Church leaders guide us in this world, in a time of tribulation. If we follow the Prophet and the teachings of the Savior, we will find the peace that He has promised us. Life doesn't have to be lonely or hard. There is Peace and comfort in being a member of his church. I take great Joy in knowing that I can be with my family forever.

How I live my faith

I have the wonderful opportunity to work with the Young Single Adults in the church. I get to enjoy the many activities of a Young Single Adult ward with my family.

What are Mormon women like? Do Mormons believe in equality of men and women?

Beverly answered...

Mormon women are exactly like non-Mormon women in many ways. Some of us are stay-at-home mothers, while other Mormon women work outside the home. Regardless of our circumstances or choices in terms of employment, we try to work with our husbands and families as a team to get things taken care of within our homes.

My husband is my partner and my best friend and vice versa for him. He doesn't "rule over me" any more than I would do the same to him. We are equal partners in our eternal marriage. The church teaches us to be kind to our families as well as our friends and we want to make our homes a kind of spiritual refuge for everybody.

I think this is the question that I am most frequently asked. And as a woman and a member of this church, I consider myself an expert on the subject.

Mormon women are like any body of women--we're all different. We have different goals, we have different backgrounds, and we all have our own and very different struggles. But, there is one thing that unites us: and that is the love we have for the gospel, and the love that our Father in Heaven has for us. We are His daughters. We are oh so special to Him. We have been sent to this earth with talents and abilities that He knows only we can fulfill. These are things that build His kingdom--that lift, inspire, and strengthen those around us.

We believe that we are created equally. Women are not more special or more important than men. Men are not more special or more important than women. We are equal--but just because we are equal doesn't mean the things that we do are going to be the same, or even have to be the same. We work together in equality and together we accomplish what needs to be accomplished--and that can only be done as we work together.

Why do Mormon missionaries proselyte?

Nick answered...

Our decision to serve missions is motivated by our belief in the Gospel and our desire to fulfill the Savior's command to "preach the gospel to every creature" Mark 16:15. The Gospel teaches us that we are all sons and daughters of God, and so we feel a kinship with all of God's children and a desire to help them enjoy the peace in this life that the Gospel provides.Our missionaries are not salesman and won't take much of your time, but I know that your decision to invite them into your home will change your life for good!
