Hi I'm Kyle Brinkerhoff
About Me
I enjoy making ludicrisly over the top and complex devices! Being an ameture engineer, I refuse pick the easy option, but rather the one that seems best, which inevitably devolves into a weekend of hacking, failure, and setting things on fire, with a best case of eventually restoring the object of interest to something resembling a functioning state.
Why I am a Mormon
in my study of the apostacy of the early christian church, it is so easy to see that their is nothing but a hollow shell left of what Christ, and the apostles had in mind for his church to be, emperor constantine essentially took God, put him in a box and locked him away for centuries, and he himself litterally pretended to be God on the earth, and used this position to control the stately affairs of the common people of the day, the church altered the fundamental doctrines of salvation and all of the saving ordinances that where originally given to us through Christ and his prophets and warped christianity into a tool for conquest and control. but their were people who saw this, they were the "reformers" they claimed that the actions of the church were not in line with the teachings of the bible and tried their best to correct those changes but none of them ever proclaimed that they were called of God to do so, so they did thier best with what they had but their efforts can be best equated to trying to build a skyscraper out of a bunch of twigs. however this did pave the way for the religous freedom that came to pass in the americas where the restoration of the gospel took place when God the Father and his son Jesus Christ appeared to a young man by the name of Joseph Smith and revealed the gospel anew. this is so evident to me that this is the only way the gospel could ever be brought back even the evidence of Joseph Smith being called to be a prophet of God was provided to the world, its called The Book of Mormon Another testament of Jesus Christ. this knowledge of the gospel and the promises God makes in the bible and the book of mormon with men have helped me accomplish amazing feets in my life, it has helped me do things like win 1st place in my high schools science fair, and take 2nd in computer science at SLVSEF 2010 , and generally being able to have the Holy Ghost with me to learn all things in my life at an excellerated pace with greater understanding
Personal Stories
Why do Mormons go on missions?
well, the answer to that is quite simple , its because christ commanded us to go and share the gospel!
How can your talents and gifts bless others?
the way I see it is that in this life, we are given talents, they are precious and divinely unique to our characteristics it may be that we are blessed with physical or mental attributes that allow us to truly understand the concept of personal progression and development. our heavenly father expects it of us to use our talents for good, to bless other peoples lives, and to help us find a means by which we can provide for ourselves and others. in my life I have developed the talent to understand that which is placed beyond the realm of average knowledge and understanding, it has blessed me and others I associate with greatly, it has allowed me to go about teaching myself concepts that normally would require an extensive education in its respective field, now however that does not simply excuse me from going through the regular path taken by many to learn, but has rather blessed me with an attitude to learn from all people I come in contact with and to be excited to see how others view things or how others explain things, or even those who correct me when my answers to questions might be wrong, simply put i love to learn ANYTHING! in turn, one day i hope i can become an educator in whatever field of work my career sends me to be in so that I can help others understand and build atop of what they learn from me.
What is hope and what do you hope for?
hope is a pretty hard thing to describe, its a desire that the outcome of an event will be what you deem to be favorable, most of the time we don't have evidence to back up that the end result of a situation will be what we desire it to be, but we still strive for the result we want, when we diligently apply our efforts to a righteous cause, we reap the rewards of that action, in some form or another. WHAT DO I HOPE FOR: many things. In my life their is a vast enumerable list of things I hope for. mainly i recognize the fact that in order for me to be able to truly be happy, others around me must be happy as well, so I hope that my family can be happy, i hope that my friends can be happy, i hope that i can do the will of the lord the best I can, I hope i can provide for a family of my own one day, I hope that I will find a loving and righteous daughter of God one day , I hope that I will be able to endure to the end of my life and walk in an upright manner before God, I hope that my children in the future will be able to do likewise, I hope that the world will be able to come to a knowledge of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, I hope that one day in my existence will be able to stand in the presence of our heavenly father! of course most importantly i hope that i will be able to act accordingly to these desires to bring to pass all of wich i hope for.
Why/How do you share the gospel with your friends?
simple. If I have Came across Something that brings joy and happiness into my life (like the restored gospel of Jesus Christ) , it is my duty, if not joy to bring it to someone else to allow them to have the same experience
Please share your feelings/testimony of Joseph Smith.
He was a modern day prophet of God, and the evidence to support it is indisputably the word of God, AKA( The Book Of Mormon Another Testament Of Jesus Christ) however the rest of the world does not know this simply because they choose to reject the opportunity to examine the metaphorical "smoking gun " that has been provided in every language known to mankind, merely because of pride and traditionalism that has crippled society since Adam and Eve. whoever who may be currently reading this, I challenge you to take the time to figure out for yourself in unbiased terms to pray and ask God yourself, the source of all truth if he is really Gods mouthpiece, a prophet of the lord.
How does making right choices help us make more right choices?
our entire existence is determined by a chain reaction of events in our lives, the majority of which are a product of our choices. so simply put if we make good choices, on top of more good choices, we are ultimately going to be happier in our lives which drives a cycle of progression, and influences us to do good .
How I live my faith
i pray always for god to give me inspiration in all that i do and i follow the promptings that i recieve, recognizing that it is not an easy process, and albiet sometimes frustrating, i follow whatever my heavenly father tells me to do, and it has led me to have some of the most cherished moments of my life so far and it has allowed me to live a lifestyle where i act as a proctive member of society, were i get to contribute and live happily, and have mentally rewarding experiences, i frequently volunteer at my old highschool, A.M.E.S. and help them further their technology program and make new technological marvals more accessible for them to be used in the students own applications, and it has been great to see what they have been able to do from building on top of my own efforts
