Hi, I'm Adam Elder

I am a Husband, I am a Dad, I am a Professional, I am a Handy Man, and I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am a Husband to my wife of 13 years, I am a Dad to 3 great kids, I am a Professional in the Finance industry, I am a handy man around the house and in the garage and I am a Mormon. Living my faith each day is important to me. I believe the way I live my life sets and example to my family, friends and co workers.

Why I am a Mormon

I am Mormon because I know in my heart this is the true Church. I love living my faith each day, knowing I am a good person because of the righteous choices I am making.

How I live my faith

I live my faith everyday by being honest, serving others, and making righteous choices. I believe the world would be a much better place if we all did this!

Do Mormons only help Mormons?

Robert answered...

Absolutely not! I grew up in the church and I'd say the number of people that I've helped in the church is significantly smaller than the number of people I've assisted out side the church. This is not to say I don't help my fellow church members. We believe that we are all children of our Heavenly Father. And by that reasoning we are all brothers and sisters. I take that to heart and when I see someone in need I try to help to the best of my ability and training. Organized service projects aside, I've helped several stranded motorists on the side of the road. I give food to people I've seen that appear to be hungry on the side of the road. And for a long time, when I was growing up, my dad and I would do Meals on Wheels for those in need. I've volunteered at soup kitchens more recently. And during times of widely known hurricanes, I've volunteered on clean up crews multiple times. There is a song we have in our church called "Because I Have Been Given Much." I don't want to post the entire lyrics here, but they are available on a popular search engine. That song is very poignant to me and has always been near and dear to my heart. Also being a former Boy Scout, I have tried to uphold both the Scout Law and Oath to this day. I love my Heavenly Father, and I love my fellow man and want to do all I can to help others in any way I can.

As a local Bishop in the Church, I can assure you that we do not limit our help to members. We perform numerous acts of service to our friends in the local community, and we do it gladly because we know service brings us and them great blessings of happiness and satisfaction. Our world wide disaster relief program brings food, clothing, water, sanitations kits and medications to our nonmember brothers and sisters around the world, quickly and effeciently. As Mormons, we know we are fellow citizens of the world and that all peoples are part of our Heavenly Father's family, and we try hard to act accordingy.

Are Mormons Christians?

Debbie answered...

This question always surprises me when I am asked. I always answer with a resounding "YES". We are Christians in every sense of the word. We believe in Christ. He is the head of our church. All of our teachings are based on Him. We have hope in His eternal atonement.
