Hi I'm Stephanie

Although there are many ways to read about what Mormons believe, I decided to go to the source and read the Book of Mormon. No matter how many Mormons I've talked to, or how many books I've read on the subject, to really know what Mormonism is, a person has to go to a Mormon church and read the Book of Mormon. I have chosen to experience first hand what being a Mormon means. I have done this with several churches in my life: I have attended religious services by many different religions because I wanted to have the first-hand experience. I am a Mormon because I feel a depth of love, service, and truth in the Mormon church. There is no religion in the world like it. The doctrine is solid. The testimonies are sincere. The experience is real. My life is rich, full, fun, and full of light. It's not 'easy and pleasurable', but it is the most fulfilling and joyous!

I go to church every week. I commute by train so I read the scriptures every morning on my commute. It helps ready me for the busy work day ahead. During the week I take Institute of Religion classes (institute.lds.org). I strive to be an example of integrity every day: I put in an honest day's work and do what I can to contribute to the success of my coworkers. I also like to write kind notes and uplift those around me at work, at church, and at home (I have two shoeboxes full of blank note cards so I never run out). I pay my tithing and give to other philanthropic causes. I pray several times a day: when I get up, over every meal, in my heart throughout the day, and when I go to bed. I take my beliefs seriously: I want it to be said of me, "she lived her religion."
