Hi I'm Jake
I'm from Utah. I love motorcycles. I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I grew up in the LDS church. My mom is a first generation convert, and my dad's family has been a part of the church for a very long time. I love spending time with my family. One of my favorite hobbies is playing the guitar, a talent I discovered when I was fourteen. I especially like playing jazz, and I'd certainly like to be better at my "chickin-pickin." Music is definitely one of my passions. I also love driving. Whether it be atop a motorcycle or on the open highway in a truck, I love the open road and being behind the wheel. I am currently serving as a missionary of Jesus Christ in San Antonio, Texas and the surrounding area. I've completed a little schooling and found that most of my interests lie in a simple life surrounded by family. When I return from the mission, I would like to be trained in certain trades as mechanics and carpentry. I feel the need to work with my hands and feel the satisfaction that comes from hard work.
Why I am a Mormon
I continue to follow Jesus Christ because He helps me to be free. When I commit myself to living in harmony with Gospel principles, I find that I am happier, healthier, and more free to choose my path in life. I've felt the Holy Ghost many times in my life. Because of the influence of the Holy Spirit, I know this is the path that Jesus Christ would have me follow.
How I live my faith
Right now, my time is devoted to teaching others about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a missionary. I've seen great changes in people as they have felt the Holy Ghost through reading the Book of Mormon and learning more about Jesus Christ. When I discontinue full-time missionary service, I hope to be able to share my beliefs with as many people as I can. I've seen a lot of great changes, and I want to make sure other people have that chance, too. I know God can work through me to reach his other children. I consider my family to be the number one responsibility. After that, I know I can help neighbors and friends, whether or not they are a member of our faith. I think most of the time all people need is an invitation to learn about your beliefs and that can be the start of a blessing in their life. I hope I'm never too afraid to reach out to others.
