About This Blog

I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints. And on this blog, I share some of the things I believe in with you (in case you're interested) in addition to the church talks I gave in the past.

A word of warning: I DO NOT like to sugarcoat my thoughts and experiences. I express my thoughts in a direct and honest manner. And sometimes, the truth is hard and hurtful to hear. If you're offended by anything I say regarding my experiences in the Church, then I suggest you not read this blog. I am in no way trying to denounce anything regarding the Church but to promote the good of it. I am also attempting to show that Mormons (as we are generally called) are not weird people but normal people going about doing good in our communities.

To Start Things Off...



Well, to start things off welcome to my I guess what you call my "religious blog". This is where I talk about and share my beliefs. There are several reasons why I decided to do this:

1.) One of my church leaders in one of his speeches encouraged us members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to share our beliefs since in a way where we can utilize advancing technology and thus, I started this blog.

2.) I just finished serving as a missionary for my church in Japan doing what I am doing right now on this blog. Even after sharing what I believed to the good people of Japan, I have a desire to share what I believe to anyone who is interested.

This is a good time to note that if you are not interested OR offended by what I say on this blog, DON'T give me any crap about it! If you don't like it, don't read it. I leave it to your free will and choice. I don't Bible Bash and this isn't the place to do it!

Frequently I will "testify" or "bear my testimony" of the things we as members of the LDS church believe in. In that context, a testimony is defined as a public recounting of a religious conversion or experience. To us, a testimony is proof enough that the things we believe in are true.

To close this introductory post, I would like to bear a simple testimony that God loves us and He wants what's best for us. He is our Heavenly Father and He has a plan for each and every one of us. And I testify of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ who gave His life for us. We can never comprehend the things He did for us but out of faith, I know He did THOSE things.

Thank you for reading and hope you'll find enjoyment and increased spirituality from reading this blog!
