Hi, I'm Laura

I'm a wife. I'm a mother of three children. And I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I love being outdoors. I run and bike almost year round and swim all summer with my children. We take walks, bike, and play at the park together. I love being home with my children because their happiness makes me happy. My relationship with them, my husband, and those around me are what's most important to me in this life.

Why I am a Mormon

I love The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints because it is the church and gospel of Jesus Christ, that same Christ who walked the earth 2,000 years ago. He completely committed himself to His Father, obeyed with exactness, gave His life out of love, and died that I will live again. He paid the price for my inadequecies, weaknesses, shortcomings, and mistakes, and I love Him for that because otherwise I would be unable to grow and progress in this life. I live to become more like Jesus Christ because I want to live with Him again. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I cling to the covenants I've made with God in his holy temple and know that if I do my part I will live with him again. I live to do my part!

How I live my faith

I love the women in our congregation and work closely with them to ensure their growth and their families' well-being and happiness. We love each other and care for those around us. We look for opportunities to serve our neighbors and the community in which we live. We are spiritually strong women who love the Lord, live to serve Him, and bring others to Him. Our hope is to share the truths that make us happy and help families become eternal, for this is the purpose of life! We are happy, confident, and certain that our course in life is God's course and we invite all to walk with us.

Mormons believe Jesus Christ is their Savior. Why do we need a Savior?

Laura answered...

We need a Savior so we can return to our Heavenly Father because no unclean thing can enter the kingdom of Heaven. As we strive to become more like Jesus Christ, he aids us in our progression because he can forgive us of our shortcomings and mistakes when we sincerely repent and pray for forgiveness. Without a Savior, we would have no hope of becoming like God and returning to him.

There are doctrinal answers to why we believe we need a Savior to redeem us from the Fall of Adam and to return us to our Father in Heaven that you'll probably come across here. But let me tell you why I need a Savior personally and what He does for me. Christ suffered personally for my pains, sorrows, and sins so that if I ask Him too, He can take them from me. I have been the victim of abuse in my life, and yet through Him I have been able to lay it all at His feet, freely forgive, feel peace, find love, and understand how important negative life experiences can be in teaching us humility. Daily He takes my pain and replaces it with pure love so that I am no longer a victim, but a victor. I need a Savior because He knows me, and through him my flaws become strengths and my pain becomes peace.

What do Mormons believe is the purpose of life?

Oliver Meyers answered...

I have gotten this question a lot and it has been one I have always heard about but never understood it but as I learned more about our Heavenly Fathers plan for us it started to make more sense. This life it’s a time for us to be happy and grow it’s a time for us to get ready for what’s a head in our existence. This life is a time for us to get ready to meet God again and say I did follow you.

I know that this life is a time for joy and the way I know to have true joy is by having a family. I know that sometimes my family can drive me crazy but that is where I have found all my joy is by helping and just living with my family. I am so excited to have a family of my own, and have a home of love and happiness where we can grow closer to each other and to our Heavenly Father.

As we learn about happiness and joy we also learn about pain and misery that is just a part of this life yes it is hard and sometimes you wish it could just go away but as we learn about both we can appreciate the good from that bad. And I really think that is one of the biggest reasons we are down here is to learn.
