Hi, I'm Signe.

I'm a mom to 4, a wife, a beginner runner and I'm a Mormon.

About Me

My job right now is staying home with my kids. I love having fun with my family. I get so much joy watching the kids' eyes light up when they get balloons on their birthdays or a scary meal on Halloween. And since I love cooking and baking for them, I balance the desserts out by running with friends. I have found I have more patience and energy on the days I exercise, so it benefits everyone. Our family is also involved in a humanitarian project in Ethiopia. Our youngest came to us through international adoption from Ethiopia and our hearts have been connected to this beautiful country ever since. We have dreams of adopting again should circumstances allow.

Why I am a Mormon

I grew up in the Church, but there is still a necessary conversion. Kids can't lean on their parents' testimonies forever. My testimony started out as a teenager and through life events, big and small, has continued to strengthen. I have felt my Heavenly Father's hand many times and am aware and thankful He is keeping a watchful eye on me and my needs.

Personal Stories

How can we develop greater harmony in our homes?

We can develop harmony at home by setting the example of love and patience. Praying together, crying together, laughing together, being frustrated (and working through it) together, all build family unity. And when there is a sense of unity, the harmony follows. We are all working together to reach the same end goal, to return to our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ.

How I live my faith

I try to live my faith by being a good example of a Christian to my children and anyone I come in contact with. The most important thing I can do is raise my children to be honest, true, chaste, benevolent, and virtuous. I believe we need to help others where and when we can and to reach out as Christ would.

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

Signe. answered...

Absolutely. Heavenly Father cares about people on Earth right now just like He did thousands of years ago. He wants to teach us and help us when the world around us can be confusing and difficult. He wants us to return to Him and has given us a prophet for additional guidance.
Phillip answered...

Yes we do! Heavenly Father is the same yesterday today and forever! Today, God has called a prophet to lead and guide us. His name is Thomas S. Monson. He receives revelation for the issues in our day. We can listen to Him and know what our Heavenly Father wants us to do. I know as you follow God's chosen messengers that we can enjoy happiness, safety, and be led back to Him.

Are all Mormons required to serve a mission?

Taylor answered...

Quite simply, no. The young men of the church have been strongly encouraged to serve a mission at age 19, and the sisters are able to serve at age 21, but no one is required to serve. We do it because we want to! Who in their right mind would give up two years and pay that's right, missionaries pay their own way to go somewhere they had never been and do all that they do? We serve missions becuase we know that Jesus is the Christ, and we want the happiness that knowledge bring to be available to everyone! So no, Mormons are not required to serve a mission. It's a personal choice to share the happiness and joy they've received from the Gospel.
