Hi I'm Ed
I grew up in Utah, and served a mission in Taiwan. Now I live in Colorado.
About Me
I am a father of two grown children, and I have been married for 30 years. At work I do verification of computer chips. I like music and singing in the choir at church. I also like sailing and hiking and being in the mountains.
Why I am a Mormon
I grew up in Utah, and my parents and family are members. I was taught about the gospel and the church in primary and sunday school. When I got old enough to go on a mission, I had to decide if I really believed all that I had been taught. I decided to read the Book of Mormon again and follow the process described in Moroni 10:4-5. I read and prayed, and as I continued I felt a peaceful good feeling about it. I especially felt this as I read Alma 32, where it describes faith as being like a seed, and if we plant it and it brings good fruit, then we know it is a good seed, and our faith grows. I decided to go on a mission, and I had a great experience serving in Taiwan.
How I live my faith
I go to church each week, and serve as the Ward Membership clerk. I have family night and scripture reading with my Wife, and we go to the temple about once a month. I go "home teaching" once a month, which means I visit families in the ward and teach a gospel lesson. When I have a hard decision or a concern about a family member, I pray about it, and sometimes I go to the temple to pray.
