Hi, I'm Moses

I grew up in Califorina moved to Utah and I love Mountin biking I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am the youngest of Eight in my family. I am now severing a mission in the Texas Fort Worth Mission. I love being in the out doors, camping, hiking, fishing, swiming, rocking climing, you name it and I am there. I am diabitic and have been since I was eight years old, it has been a hard part of my life but with christ I am able to press forward.

Why I am a Mormon

I am a Mormon because I know this is the church that Jesus Christ established through a living Prophet. there have been so many times when I have been down and I have felt that Jesus Christ has been there for me. I know that He died so that I could repent change my ways to live a more christ like life and return to live with God again. It is only through Jesus Christ that we can return to live in the presence of our Father in Heaven. I am contuineing to to strive to be like our saviour Jesus Christ to be who he wants me to be.

Personal Stories

What is hope and what do you hope for?

Word: hope
Definition:

what I hope for is the Atonement of Jesus Christ. For without the Atonement of Jesus christ we as children of God are lost. I have come to know this for my self that without what Jesus Christ did for us (the Atonement) we are lost to Him.

How I live my faith

I live my faith by preticing what I teach and what I teach to thoughs who are intrested in learning about THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS. When I return home I will still contunie to serve the lord in many different ways. In the church we have a lay ministery meaning that no one in the church is payed for their service. We as members in the church are asked to serve our brothers and sisters in the church, by reciving a calling in the church. for exampel some one might be called to teach the 7 year olds or other age group from age 4-18. and I would willing serve the lord in one of the many callings that it takes to support a congreation.

Why do Mormon missionaries proselyte?

Moses answered...

Did not Christ teach his disciples to share his gospel with the world? I am severing a mission in the church to do just that I am sharing the massage of the Gospel of Jesus Christ which was restored through a living prophet. do you want to know more? Contact a missionary and tell them you want to know more.

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!

What will the Mormon missionaries talk about when they visit my home?

Jordan Christiansen answered...

I served a mission in South Korea for two years, so I can tell you. :) The missionaries will probably be as nervous as you are as they arrive at your home. The nervousness does not come from timidity or a lack of belief in the message they bring, but because they want so much to express their testimonies and the Spirit they feel to you.

The missionaries will likely introduce themselves and get to know you and your family. Though missionaries are called by God to preach His word, they come from largely every-day backgrounds and have lives likely much like yours.

After getting to know your family, they will likely ask what questions you may have about life or the Mormon church. Using the scriptures and their own personal experiences, they will seek to help you find answers. Don't be afraid of asking any question or thinking you may offend or sound silly to the missionaries. They are called to help and serve and are very understanding.

After answering your questions and sharing a spiritual message, the missionaries will ask you to act on the message. A soccer player does not listen to his coach during practice only to go home without kicking a ball, right? In the same way, the missionaries will invite you to read a chapter of scripture or seek for yourself that what they are saying is true. You don't have to just take the missionaries' word in what they say--a loving God is happy to answer thoughtful, earnest prayers seeking for the truth.
