Hi I'm Larry
I was born in North Dakota grew up in Minnesota, retired as a pipefitter after 35 yrs, found the Church. I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I am presently 67 years old, married to my wonderful wife for 47 years, we have 3 adult children, two adult grandchildren, and soon too be four fantastic great-grandchildren. I was introduced to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, in 2001. Before retiring in 1999, I had been a pipefitter for 35 years. The majority of my work assignments were away from home, I would leave early Monday and return home late Thursday or Friday every week. Once home it was time to maintain the home and spend time with the kids, there just wasn't much time for thinking about going to a Church.
Why I am a Mormon
My Brother Paul being a born again Christian, asked me to have breakfast with him one day, as we ate he said if I would go home and say a prayer, the Lord would bless my life. The prayer found in 1 Chronicles 4:10 which reads: And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. After saying this prayer about an hour had gone by, before I heard a knock on the door, it was 2 Missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Even though I tried to brush them off, one Elder began to answer those questions that had always been on my mind, why are we here, where did we come from, where are we going, can God change or is He the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
How I live my faith
I am presently serving as a Church Service Missionary as an Employment Consultant at an LDS Employment Resource Center. Here we help anyone from any background to find or improve there employment situation. I also work several shifts at a Family History Center as a Libraian and Consultant. It is very rewarding to help individuals find employment or a missing relative.
