Hi, I'm Debbie

I'm a Mormon. I work for a telecom management company. I raised 5 children and have 3 grandchildren.

About Me

My parents were both Methodist when they were married. They joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints when I was 3 years old. My dad was in the Air Force so we moved from place to place.

I love to sew, embroidery, and I am learning about quilting.

I work full time and take care of my husband who is on dialysis 3 times a week. Since his illness, I have learned to depend on the Lord and the scriptures. I am thankful for the small miracles that have been given to us these past few years.

I am a mother of 5 children and for the most part had the privilege of staying home with them for the most of their growing up years. 4 of the 5 are married. I have 3 grandchildren.

Why I am a Mormon

At first I chose to be a member of the church because my parents were. Now I am a member, because I have learned to love the Lord and I want to follow His leaders the prophets. I am thankful for being able to grow up in a church that believes in standards, that believes in families, that believes in the values and commandments that Christ teaches us. I am a member, because I know the leaders will not waffle under pressure from the outside world from the true doctrines that are taught. I know that Christ teachings are the same today, yesterday and forever. I know my Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ love me and care for me, like they love everyone else. I know that Heavenly Father loves us so much He provided us Prophets and Apostles to teach and direct us back to Him.

How I live my faith

I listen to others. I help when I see a need. I pray for others. I visit women and leave with them a message to uplift them and teach them. I try to show kindness to others. I take time to be with my family when they need me. I read my scriptures to find answers to questions I have.

Why is family so important to Mormons?

Debbie answered...

Our families provide a strength for each other. Every member can teach others. We learn to serve each other, sacrifice for each other, take care of each other and even learn to get along despite our differences. We learn to love others and become better people to others. Our families are our safe house from the storms life gives us.

If our families are strong, then we can build a strong nation, and a peaceful world.

We believe that family relationships are the sources of life's greatest joys. We also believe that families can be together forever.

What are some of the ways that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints helps those around the world?

Spencer answered...

I had the opportunity to see first hand how the Gospel has changed lives in every way. I served for the church in South America and saw that the teachings of the gospel helped countless individuals in financial crises, relationship problems, health issues, quality of life, personal happiness, political and social issues, and every imaginable aspect in life. I saw people with addictions overcome them and change their lives. I saw the jobless gain work through help of the Lord and help of the church. I saw marriages improved and even saved. I witnessed the sick and inflicted cured through faith. And so, to answer what the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does to help those around the world, I would testify that it blesses lives in every aspect.
