About Me

I love the outdoors and being active.

Why I am a Mormon

I live in Bermuda now but while I was living in Whistler British Columbia Canada I realized something major was missing for me. I had learned about the church through some friends back home and I decided to find the missionaries to hear them once again. After listening to there lessons and when I began to live the gospel standards I could feel the spirit and I knew the church was true. No matter where I travel in the world the church is still the same and remains true.

Personal Stories

How has attending Church services helped you?

Going to church has helped give me direction. I have met a lot of great people that care about me and are there for support. I see the change that has come from being a member of this church. It has been a great blessing.

How I live my faith

Even if we are not official missionaries it's important for members of the church to help the missionaries and to share the gospel with our families and friends. I'm so thankful for the members and the missionaries all over the world.

What is the Word of Wisdom that Mormons talk about?

Scott Cleghorn answered...

It's a law from God that will help keep our bodies and minds strong. It speaks against the use of tobacco, alcohol, illegal drugs, coffee and tea. God promises blessings to those who follow this law.

Mark answered...

The word of wisdom is the Lord's law of health. We abstain from drugs, tobacco, alcohol, coffee, and tea, and are encouraged to eat wholesome food and grains, and not eat excessive meat. I am asked all of the time by my fellow residents at the hospital why I don't drink coffee, and how I can stay awake all night on call without it. I don't consider it a sacrifice, though, and am as awake and perform as well as any. It is true that the body will be more healthy when following the word of wisdom, the but the main benefit is spiritual. The knowledge that you are in line with the the Lord's teaching is the most important thing.

Are all Mormons required to serve a mission?

Austin. answered...

No. Every worthy young man is expected to serve a mission, though there is no punishment for not doing so. Also, not every young man is physically or mentally capable, so there are circumstances where a young man may be excused from service. Young women may also serve missions, but are not expected to do so.

Serving a mission means a full-time commitment, leaving family and friends to preach the gospel in a place assigned by the Church.

I served my mission in Los Angeles, California.
