My kiddos and I in the visitor's center at the open house for the newly renovated Ogden, Utah Temple. |
A friend of mine recently told me that she wanted to know what Mormon's believe. She knew that I was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints because of our friendship on social media.
I thought a lot about it before answering. There is so much misunderstanding of so many groups of people in our world. My friend was right to come to me and ask if what she had seen on TV about Mormons was true. No, we don't practice polygamy, and I am not expected to be a suppressed housewife, like so many people think.
So then, what do I believe?
My church is centered in Jesus Christ, as its name would
suggest. We lived with our Heavenly Father before we came here to earth. He
sent his son, Jesus Christ, to atone for our sins and provide a way for us to
return and live with him again. I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for us
to be happy, here on earth, and with him in the eternities. I believe that
Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are three separate beings who
want us to be like them.
Families are key to our eternal happiness. Everything that I
do, I do for my family, and I know that I will be able to be with them, not
just in this life, but forever.
Our church is structured the same way as Christ’s church was
structured anciently, with a prophet, and twelve apostles. In the Bible we read that Christ gave the apostles the priesthood, the power to act in God’s name.
When the apostles were killed, the priesthood was taken from the earth.
In the 1830’s, Joseph Smith, then only a fourteen-year-old
boy, prayed to know which of the many churches in his day that he should join.
Heavenly Father and Jesus appeared to Joseph and told him that none of the
churches were true. He later was given the priesthood and instructed to restore
the gospel to the earth. He received the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of
Christ, a book of scripture that is a companion to the Bible.
The Book of Mormon is a source of great peace and comfort in
my life. In its pages I have found answers to my prayers, and through reading
it I grow closer to my Heavenly Father. Many times I have felt the spirit
testify to me that it is true. It brings guidance and peace to me in all areas
of my life, and I am so very grateful for the instruction and solace it gives. If
you would like to read a copy and find out what it’s all about, I would be glad
to send you one.
Not only was Joseph Smith a prophet, but there is also a prophet of God on the earth today. I had the opportunity to listen to him speak in a meeting
that was televised, just last week. I know that he is a prophet of God. He is
inspired to do the Lord’s work and bring other’s closer to Him.
We have temples on the earth today where families can be
sealed together for eternity. I cannot describe to you how I feel when I enter
the temple. It is a holy place where I can shut the business and craziness of
the world out and feel the peace of Heavenly Father’s love. I love to go to the
temple, and I go there often, when I am struggling, and even when I am not. The
temple strengthens me and I always bring that peace home to my family.
I go to church weekly to take the sacrament, learn more
about the gospel, serve others, and let others help me teach and train my
children. My home ward is a place where I can make friends and receive help if
I need it. The church is consistent worldwide, and whenever I travel, I love to
find a meetinghouse and attend. I feel at home wherever I go.
My testimony of the gospel of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day Saints is focused on the love of my family, and my desire for them
to be happy. I know that the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored to the
earth, and that, because of His atonement, I can repent of the mistakes that I
make, and live with my family forever.
I bear testimony of The church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It makes me who I am, provides eternal perspective, and helps me find happiness.

Church is the holy place. We feel metal peace after going over there. For Christmas celebration everyone goes there. This is the place where we can sit for a while and can relax our mind. If we go with children over there then they will come to know about the stories of God. Which is very necessary for development of a kid. I found some spiritual information on wellnessshot. If we have some problems in our life then after going over there we will get strength to fight with it.
