Hi, I'm Kelsey

I'm a student at Brigham Young University, studying English and Editing. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I'm a college student, studying English and Editing. I enjoy crafting (scrap-booking, quilting, floral design, decorating, etc). I am an avid Harry Potter fan, and cat lover.

Why I am a Mormon

I'm a Mormon because of the powerful impact the gospel has had on my life. The direction and comfort I have found in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and my testimony of its truthfulness have guided me through any trial or question I have encountered in my life. I know that we are children of our loving Heavenly Father and he has provided a way for us to be exalted through the atonement of his son Jesus Christ. I know that Joseph Smith restored the gospel to this earth and that we receive modern day revelation through the prophet Thomas S Monson.

Personal Stories

Why do Mormons do family history or genealogy work?

We do family history work because we believe everyone should have the chance to accept the gospel, even if they were unable to hear it in this life. We want to be with all of our family forever, and through the family ties we find through genealogy we are able connect to our ancestors in a meaningful way.

How I live my faith

I am currently involved in assisting those women in our neighborhood when they are sick or otherwise unable to run their homes the way they would like. I try to be a friend to women who are feeling lonely and visit them in their homes.

Why is family so important to Mormons?

Kelsey answered...

Family is so important to members of our Church because those relationships help us to become better people. We have been taught by modern day Prophets that we can be with our families for all eternity if we are sealed to them in the Holy Temple.
Greg answered...

After I joined the Mormon Church I learned about the importance of families. Not long after that I realized that if I was going to follow this teaching I needed to tell my father that I loved him. That was very difficult for me since my dad and I argued so much. I spent the better part of 2 weeks trying to determine how I could do this. When the time came I found that the words came more easily than I had thought. From that point to the time he died, about 22 years later, he and I had an entirely different relationship. We were now friends. And I found how much I regretted all our arguments while growing up. And now I find that I miss him and more fully understand how important our families are.

Do you really believe there is a prophet like Moses alive today?

Justin answered...

Believing in Christ is believing in his perfection. Being perfect he will always do what is in the best interests of his people. In times past man has needed the assistance of great men to help them in their journey home. That need has never changed. In fact, there has never been a greater need of a prophet to guide the people than there is right now.
