Hi I'm Kelly
Im a runner, I love hockey, Im a missionary in South Carolina, and Im a Mormon
About Me
Im 20 years old, Im serving a 2 year mission in South Carolina. Before my mission I graduated from high school in Phoenix, Arizona and then went to community college for a semester. Im a runner, I ran track and cross country in high school and I ran the st. goerge marathon my first marathon with a time of 3 hours and 40 minutes. I love sports and playing sports especially basketball, hockey and football, I am very competative when it comes to playing sports, I am also an ASU fanatic. I was born into a mormon family, and I am so greatful for my parents for teaching me values and standards that i can live by and will help me have a happy life. I love my family soooooooo much, they have given me everything and I dont know where I would be without them and there love for me.
Why I am a Mormon
My family is and has been very active in the church all there life. Even though I grew up in the church and even went to seminary every morning during high school, I still really didnt know if the church was true or not or maybe I did but I just wanted to really find out if it was something that i wanted to keep living the rest of my life. My senior year of high school is really when I found out that this is the true church, after really engaging my self in church and with my youth group and then seeing all my friends who didnt have the gospel and didnt belong to the LDS church, either werent as happy as they could be or you could just tell something in there life was missing. so that led me to really think, and study. When I started going to church because I wanted to, not because my parents got me up every morning I started to notice a difference in the way I felt and also the truth of the things that I was learning in church and so I really came to the conclusion that this is the only true church on the earth, because nothing this good and this perfect could ever be false . I know with out a doubt that The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints is Jesus Christs one true church, the same church that he originally organized when he was on the earth and it has been brought back and restored again to bless us and our families (Ephesians 4:11-14) and to help us come to the unity of the faith
How I live my faith
Right now I am a missionary dedicating 2 years of my life to serving the lord and helping others come unto christ. I live my life according the the things I was taught in church and also what my parents taught me at home, living a clean life without drinking or smoking or any of that bad stuff, ive seen what it does to people and it destroys them. I try to live my life according to what jesus christ taught always striving to be better, even though I might not be perfect I know that as i follow the commandments that we have been given to help guide our lives that I will always be clean and happy. I treat people with the most love and respect as I possibly can, I choose friends who I can have fun with and who also have the same standards and morals as I do. I love being with my family they are the most important in my life, I have learned so much from them and they have helped me so much in times when I needed them most. It is so comforting to know they live the same way I do.
