Hi, I'm Lainee

I'm a fun, loving, outgoing daughter of God who loves to bake, and cook, and I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am the youngest of 3 children. I love to be out doors and I love to serve others. I love to be around my family for they are the most important people in my life! I will be going to school to be come a Nurse. I love camping, hiking, horseback ridding, dancing and spending time with my nieces and nephew, taking road trips and traveling. I love to have fun and be around people that are happy all the time. I love serving my Heavenly Father every opportunity I get.

I love to cook and bake and spend time in the kitchen. I sing and dance and am very excited to share my talents with those I love. I am trilingual I speak Spanish and English and do American Sign Language. I am currently serving a mission in the Nebraska Mission and I absolutely love I wouldn't change it for the world I have grown so much to love the people I serve as well my Heavenly Father.

Why I am a Mormon

I am a Mormon because of the principles as well as the standards that we live by, are things that just make perfect sense! Being able to share those standards and principles are something that I love to do. I am grateful for the family that I have and for their great examples that they are to me of faithful LDS people!

I know that we have a living prophet today who leads and guides us and that he receives all of his inspiration from our Heavenly Father. I know that Jesus is the Christ and that he lives. I know that Families are forever, and that the Atonement of Jesus Christ is real! I have seen it effect my life as well as the lives of others. I love the gospel and I love my Savior Jesus Christ!

Personal Stories

Why do Mormons go on missions?

We go on missions to "invite others to come unto christ by helping them recieve the restored gospel through Faith in Jesus Christ and his Atonement, Repentance, Baptism, Recieve the Gift of the Holy Gohst, and Enduring to The End." We spend 18 months to 24 months away from our familes so that we can help others be with their families for Eternity. It is very rewarding and the most amazing experience we all as gods children can have.

Please explain the part prayer plays in your life?

Prayer plays a huge part in my life especially because that is one way that I am able to communicate with my Father in Heaven. Just like your own father wants to hear from you every day your Heavenly Father wants to hear from you.

Prayer is how we are able to ask our Father in Heaven for things that we need as well as the things that we are most grateful for. That is how we can receive revelation for ourselves so that we can progress and do the things that He wants us to do.

I am very grateful for pray and for the opportunity that I have to turn to my Heavenly Father every day no matter where I am, what time of day it is I can always to turn to him in Prayer!

How I live my faith

I was raised LDS I have been a member my whole life so being in a home where religion is a big part of your life you can't really escape something that makes you happy all the time. I attend church each week and have helped with the young children as well as with young women. I also serve others the best to my ability. Service is a big opportunity in our religion because we believe that through service we are able to share our beliefs with others to help them grow closer to Jesus Christ!

I have found so much joy and happiness as I have been able to draw closer to my Savior Jesus Christ by helping others and being able to really see what my Heavenly Father has in store for me.

What is the Word of Wisdom that Mormons talk about?

Lainee answered...

The Word of Wisdom is a health code and greatest blessing for us to live given to us by our Heavenly Father. He loves us so much that he wants us to keep the bodies that he gave us pure and healthy so that we can return to live with him someday. There are so many blessings that come from living the Word of Wisdom that as you follow his example he will bless you with those blessings that he has in store for you.

One of the blessings that he has given us is the opportunity to run and not be weary, and shall walk and not faint. That is why I live the Word of Wisdom so that I have the energy, health, and strength that I need to continue on in my journey and especially to keep my body pure and clean!

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.

What is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' attitude regarding homosexuality and same sex marriage?

Jacob answered...

We all have the freedom to pursue happiness in their own way, and I would even be willing to allow that some desires may be genetically given. This does not make our desires right. In the scriptures we read " For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord." (Mosiah 3:19) We all have "natural desires" that place us in opposition with God's purpose and desires for us and we must each seek to correct them if we wish true happiness.

I sympathize with those whose desires are powerful and poignant; you face a sore trial indeed. The scriptures give us hope though; "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." (1 Corinthians 10:13) God is merciful and Christ is compassionate, while there may be yet an effectual struggle to be had perhaps for many years or the rest of our lives full repentance and change is possible.

If a homosexual individual desires to continue as such and marry only by the laws and rites of the state, then I have no qualms, I will do my utmost to be a friend to such an individual. I only ask that my rights, beliefs, and Church are respected.
