Hi, I'm David

I'm from Mexico City. I know all the things we learn in the church are true, we're really in our path to the Kingdom of God

About Me

I'm 20 years old, I used to play football in highschool and college before goin'' on a mission and I want to continue playing after my homecomming. I was studing bioengeenering at "instituto Politecnico Nacional" in Mexico City, I just finished 1 of the 5 years of the the career. My whole family are LDS, I mean, my brothers, systers and my parents, some of my dad's family are members too...

Why I am a Mormon

I've been a member my whole life but when i was younger i needed to learn by my self if earevything that i've been tought were true or not, so after many trials and mistakes I expirienced the love of God, I felt the Spirit and knew by my own that all i had leard in church is true...yeah!!! THIS IS TRUE!!!

How I live my faith

day by day i try to keep my faith working...

Are all Mormons required to serve a mission?

David answered...

all of us are missionaries!!!...A recent prophet taught that all member of the church shall be a missionary but to serve on a full time mission is a privilage and an honor that worthy members of the church can take for serving the Lord, none is forced to serve, but all those whom have the desire to serve the Lord can go on a full-time mission. All missionaries pay by their own the cost of their mission.
Every returned missionary must continue the missionary work on their own hometown, that's what Jefferey R. Holland said.
I love sharing the golspel with those who don´t know the truth, it's a LDS's responsibility.

No. Every worthy young man is expected to serve a mission, though there is no punishment for not doing so. Also, not every young man is physically or mentally capable, so there are circumstances where a young man may be excused from service. Young women may also serve missions, but are not expected to do so.

Serving a mission means a full-time commitment, leaving family and friends to preach the gospel in a place assigned by the Church.

I served my mission in Los Angeles, California.

Why is authority to perform a baptism important?

Cary answered...

If baptism is the gateway to Heaven, then the baptizer is a border agent. Would you want any old person who claims to know how it's done to just start letting whoever wants to into your country? Why do you insist they carry a badge and wear a uniform, and have an ID which proves they are legitimate representatives of the government? It's the same way with God's rituals. All over the scriptures, whenever there's a ritual performed it was performed by a duly authorized representative. Doesn't it just make sense that if something essential for our salvation would be required, that it should need to be done God's way, by God's authorized representatives? Acts 19:1-6 even shows a time when the authority of the baptizer was in doubt, and Paul re-did the baptisms for good measure. With all the confusion that comes from competing people claiming to speak for God, or claiming to know His will in this matter or that, I'm glad Mormons teach about authority. There's so much more clarity about who we should listen to, and who might be perfectly well-intentioned, but who really shouldn't be listened to because they're not authorized.
