HI I am a Mormon and it is a good thing. I am a retired Army Helicopter Pilot. I am married with seven grown children, five boys and two girls. That brings me to twenty eight grandchildren!!!

Rucker AL. in 1965. I am currently retired from my second career and My wife and I are currently planning to serve a seniors mission in the near future.

Married to a private investigator. We have 3 children. I love being a wife, mom and business-owner. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

Elder Boyd K. Packer said, "The ultimate end of all activity in the Church is that a man and his wife and their children can be happy at home." I can say firsthand that I know what it's like to be a part of a happy family. In this regard, I am the luckiest wife and mother on the planet. Our children are teenagers, and yet they still open up to me about anything and everything. I treasure my husband and children more than I can say. I have numerous other blessings as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I have a strong desire to share my testimony of the gospel. I do struggle with weaknesses and various different trials, specifically health issues. But it helps me to remember the good moments outweigh the bad ones. Oh how they do! The gospel of Jesus Christ enables me to have this perspective, regardless of the trials my family and I are going through. I enjoy reading mostly for secular and spiritual learning, journal writing, photography, creative writing, going to the movies isn't movie popcorn the best?!, helping others, social networking on the internet, blogging, spending time with my friends, immediate and extended family and I've been known to play a game of spider solitaire or two. If I'm listening to Michael Buble, one might catch me dancing. I very much enjoy going to the temple. I have taken numerous college classes on different campuses and online. I absolutely love learning. My husband is a private investigator. He is good at what he does and more importantly, he enjoys his job. I do not work outside the home. A great deal of my time and energy is spent towards my family and taking care of our daughter who has special needs. She has over 15 doctors. My sons have some health care issues as well. But I am grateful that my children have doctors and medication to help them. The inconvenience of doctor's appointments is a small price to pay for necessary health care. Somehow, our children rise above their trials and keep on going. They each have accomplished good things and I am proud of them, especially for the good choices they make. I am so grateful to my husband, and for the love and patience he shows to me. He is also one of the funniest people I know. I love him dearly. I am excited for this opportunity to share my beliefs about Jesus Christ. I welcome comments on my blog page.

I'm a Mormon living on the East Coast.

About Me

After having grown up in Salt Lake City, Utah, I moved with my wife to the East Coast to attend dental school. My wife is currently working as an elementary school teacher. I grew up in the beautiful state of Utah. I spent much of my free time playing sports, hiking, fishing, hunting, skiing, boating, and camping. After graduating from high school, I moved away to college where I completed one year before leaving for two years as a Mormon missionary. I spent two years in Eastern Texas and Western Louisiana as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I was able to assist with the humanitarian efforts that followed Hurricanes Katrina and Rita while also sharing my beliefs with others and educating them about the Church. Upon returning from my mission, I completed my undergraduate education while working and met my beautiful wife. We share many of the same interests and love life in New England.

I work as a pharmacist in West Texas. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I'm a full-time missionary, and I'm happy to be a Mormon.

About Me

I am currently serving a two-year mission in Massachusetts teaching people about Jesus Christ and about His Gospel. I was born and raised in California, before I left on my mission I worked for a while at a company that repaired computers. I also started taking classes at a small community college while I was in High School and up until the time that I left on my mission.

My daughter Krystal died. As a mormon I believe I will see her again...

About Me

I work as a Sgt for a local Sheriff's Office. I have been an Officer for 13 years. In 1995 my daughter Krystal Dawn tragically died. Because of her loss I started to compete in races to raise money for important causes: a 5K for the VanKomen breast cancer, Triathlons for the Hess Cancer foundation, and Marathons for childhood Cancer. I am living a purpose filled life seeking opportunities to serve and mentor my family and the other people around me. I was an active triathlete but then I was stricken with a serious illness and I suffer with numbness and pain every day. But it hasn't stopped my beautiful journey from Athlete, to Patient, and hopefully to Survivor. And even though I would rather participate as an athlete, I can still be a powerful influence for good. I believe in God. I testify of God and I know the challenges I face are particular opportunities God has given me to grow. I am humbled by my illness and it drives me to my knees everyday. I know God is there and he is a loving Father, not some distant cosmic presence. He loves me. He loves my family and he helps and me inspires me every day.

I'm from Utah, I'm an actor, and more than anything, I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I just finished my first year of college and am preparing to serve in the MTC right now. I received my call to serve in the California, San Fernando mission, and will be going out into the field soon. I am speak Spanish, or I'm learning to speak Spanish, and would be more than happy to talk with anyone in the language if they have questions. Though I have spent a year at college, I'm not entirely sure what I want to do with my life. My focus in college was acting, but I am not sure if it is a realistic option as a career choice for me. Other areas I am considering are psychology, stats, and neurobiology.

I'm a science geek who specializes in awkward moments and goofy pictures. I enjoy playing and listening to music. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I'm currently serving a full-time mission in Alabama. Before this, I went to college for a year, majoring in neuroscience. I love music and have been involved with it for years, playing piano and the drums. My faith is a central part of my life and has an effect on everything I do. 

My wife and I have four children and sixteen grandchildren. I've been a high school educator for 41 years. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I went to college on a pole vaulting scholarship. I'm a husband and grandfather. I have been a high school principal and I enjoy working with young people. I've coached cross country, wrestling, track and football in high school. My hobbies include fishing with grandchildren, and riding the back country on our ATV with my wife. I enjoy spending time at our cabin with my wife, children and grandchildren. And when possible, I enjoy attending sporting events and watching them on television. After 41 years, most of which was in high school administration, I have decided to return to high school counseling.

I'm a Mormon. Here I am riding a camel up Mt. Sinai. I'd love to share more of this experience with you.

About Me

I was raised a Catholic, later became an athiest, and later joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I will share my story in the hope that someone might find it helpful as they contemplate their life. Today, I would say that I am a Mormon because I had no choice but to be one. Our Heavenly Father wanted me to join His church, and all was done to assure my membership, but this conclusion requires much explanation before it will be understood. Catholicism was very important to my father. I enjoyed church and all that it represented. I sought to understand more, and I wanted to be more conversant with its teachings. As I grew older, I also found the church to be a bit of a challenge because it seemed to be, I want to say limiting, but this doesn't really communicate my thinking. Faith was an important part of the religion, but somehow, the impact of the church on me was more negative than positive. As I studyed science in High School and College, I came to marvel at animal and plant life. I also felt that I understood how man evolved and how the earth was formed. I struggled with the thought that there was no God. This was very challenging to my relationship with my father because his beliefs and practices were so strong. While in college, I took a basic religion course. The materials there only led me more away from religion. I took a course that studied Thomas Acquainas, the great English Catholic philosopher and theologian. I was an altar boy in college, and this was also an attempt to draw closer to religion. More and more I became convinced that religion was not for me. It really didn't make sense logically. Scientifically, it was not necessary. Religion was a waste of time. So, I drifted so to speak. Religion was often a topic of interest with associates, but it wasn't something I was seeking. Soon I married. My wife was also a non-practicing Catholic. We did not marry in the Catholic church, and unfortunately, this did cause some schism with her family. As time evolved, I met many individuals of faith, and we would discuss their beliefs. I worked with a number of Mormon's although we didn't really have much religious interaction. To fast forward through many interactions, there was a time I was interacting with an Air Force officer in the Pentagon who was a very important customer. I was forever seeking to have him join me for a meal somewhere, but he was never available. By this time, Susie and I had our first two children. I remember asking this officer about raising children in today's challenging world. He commented that he had some thoughts on this subject; he invited me to dinner at his home. I jumped at the invitation. The evening came that I was to join him with his family. My did he have a lovely family, seven children, four lovely teenage daughters and identical triplet boys about nine years old. Shorly before dinner, he asked if I would join them in family prayer. (This was a huge challenge for me since I was professed to be an athiest - how could I kneel with them - it was a matter of integrity.) I debated what to do, and then, I guess to be polite, I knelt down. What occurred then was remarkable. He offered a prayer and prayed as he spoke. He even included me in the prayer. This experience will ever live with me, and now I know why. After dinner, he asked if I would read a book. I said I would, and he gave me a copy of "Man, His Origin and Destany" by Joseph Fielding Smith. In reading it, I came to the strong belief that there must have been an Adam and Eve. This deeply impacted me, and yet, I wasn't ready to make any changes in my life. Now, I need to back track a bit to provide some additional details. First I didn't know any Mormons as such during my youth. I had one "Mormon Encounter" in dating a friend's sister in law. When we went to pick up Tammy, the mother spoke with me, and she shared some fundamental Mormon doctrine - deep really. She spoke of the three degrees of glory and left me with the words: Celestial, Terrestial, and Telestial Kingdom. Some time later I was a field engineer working may miles from my home. A coworker was a returned missionary. He arranged for another coworker and me to hear the missionary lessons. The two of us non-members gave our friend and his missionaries a tough time. We argued that there was no need for a God. We didn't treat them very well. The lasting product of this meeting included a copy of the Book of Mormon, which copy I still have. I looked at this book a number of times, and yet, it wasn't until many years later that I joined the church. After I married Susie, I spoke with a co-worker about genealogy. I had been interested in my family history from early in my teenage years. He sent someone to the house to help us, but I think that they thought we were ready to join the church, and this wasn't true at all. While this was not a productive experience, they further stimulated my interest in family history research. Well, now back to where I realized there must be an Adam and Eve. My curiousity was really tweaked, and I began reading a number of books. Obviously I wanted to be on the good side of the important customer. I came to a point where I said, if all of what you teach is true, there must be evidence of the truths amongst the archeology from the Americas. He assured me there was, and upon a subsequent visit to Washington, he would have an pariticular knowledgable individual share information with me. Well, the time came for this meeting, and this scholarly type brought arm loads of books to show me the evidence to prove the gospel teaching. What he shared was fascinating, but I was deeply disappointed because he didn't prove anything about the relationship of the Book of Mormon and archelogy. So, my relationship with this important customer, and as I came to regard him, a cherished friend and marvelous man grew. I began to read many books. You name the book, and I probably read it. I have this characteristic that my passions, especially for knowledge, can be all consuming. I became more and more intellectually fascinated by the church. One of my very close co-workers was an active member of the church. I asked him if I could see his church. He gladly agreed to show me around. So, one Saturday, I met him at his meeting house. We toured around, and in the process, we met two full time missionaries (Elders Cottle and Henry). To me, they were huge individuals in stature - a bit frightening, but they also had an air of invitation - I wanted to be in their presence, and yet, I wanted to stay away. My wife was not happy with my interest in the church, and I sort of down-played my interest. We came to a time, when I asked my friend if I could attend a meeting. In those days Sunday worship was comprised of three separate meetings separated in time. So, I attended a Priesthood meeting. I found this to be very rewarding because when I went to the then Aaronic Priesthood Adult class (where investgators go), I knew the answers to most questions asked (my extensive readings applied). This was flattering to say the least. "They knew how to interact with me." Then I decided to go to a Sunday School meeting. Again, the class I attended was one in which I could actively participate. I enjoy this participation. I didn't like attending church alone, so I took our young son to Sunday School. Mike was a little over three years old. This ward had many activities, both social and intellectual. My wife attended several events. The members were great friendshippers. So, we were at a point where we were participating, finding meaningful fellowship, were curious, and most important, we were being fed by the spirit (but we didn't recognize this as such). At a particular point, we learned that we didn't reside in the boundaries of this ward. In addition, the missionaries we had met were not those that served our geographical unit. We were introduced to the local Elders, Elder Shaefermyer and Elder Taylor. These young men were marvelous friendshippers, especially to my wife. I decided to join the church, and at which point, my wife seemed to have no interest. I set up a baptismal date, and to my great surprise, after they baptized me, they hurried me to come and see Susie also be baptized. Well, this was thirty nine years ago. We had eight children, moved multiple times across the country and finally settled in Arizona. All the children are grown. Only the youngest has yet to find a companion. Six of the eight have served missions. We have eighteen grandchildren as we speak.
