Hi, I'm Dre

I grew up in Utah. I played volleyball for Colorado State University. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am a mother of three beautiful children. I have a wonderful husband who is my best friend. We love watching movies together in the winter and going on walks in the summer. I enjoy being outdoors with my kids and watching them play.

Why I am a Mormon

I am a Mormon because I know the Book of Mormon is true. I am a Mormon because I love attending the temple and I want to be with my family for eternity. I am a Mormon because after I studied the principles of the gospel in my mind, I knew in my mind and in my heart that this is Christ's church.

How I live my faith

I live my faith by serving the young girls in our ward twice a month. I also live my faith by interacting with people of our ward with different activities through out the month. In our home we live our faith by having Family Home Evening every Monday night, family prayer twice a day, and scripture study each night.

Do Mormons worship Joseph Smith?

Richie answered...

No, but we respect him, just as we would any prophet.
Danny T answered...

No but he is worthy of respect.

Why do some call Mormonism a cult?

Kevin answered...

I suppose that new and different things have always been a challenge for some. It seems possible that the New Testament Christians might also have been called a cult: they were few in number, taught new, or at least different, doctrines and were lead by strong, charismatic leaders (a study of the early apostles like Peter or Paul bears this out).

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (often called the Mormon church) follows the teachings of Jesus Christ as contained in the Bible and the Book of Mormon. We do not worship our founding prophet (Joseph Smith) or our current prophet (Thomas S. Monson). We teach that men are saved by the grace of Jesus Christ and his atoning sacrice on the cross and that as we strive to follow Him and keep His commandments, that redemption becomes personal.

If others persist in defining the Church as a cult, in spite of our rather obvious Christian beliefs and doctrines, then we will simply have to agree to disagree.
