Hi I'm Chuck
My daughter Susan went missing December 6, 2009, I have been doing everything I can to try and find her and I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I like almost anything, I play trumpet,french horn, guitar, bass guitar, and Indian flute. I have been a pilot and flight instructor for over 35 years. I have worked as an Federal Aviation Administration Aviation Safety Inspector, Air Traffic controller, a welder, and manufactured semi trailers. I have been a Scoutmaster, Cub Master, and many other Boy Scout positions, I like backpacking, tent camping, golf, tennis, sailing and the outdoors. I enjoy most types of music as long as it is melodic, and not vulgar. I recently had to retire as an Aviation Safety Inspector when my father died, and it was clear I needed to attend to my mother, wife and the search for my missing daughter. I am the father of 4 daughters, and have 9 grandchildren. I also enjoy being a DJ when I get the chance. I like to travel, meet new people, and learn new things.
Why I am a Mormon
I began my search for the true church in high school. I decided the true church had to be out there somewhere. I attended many different churches with friends during my search. When I attended a meeting of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I noticed that many of the youth I knew and respected from school where members. These youth where good people, who where respectful of others, not into drugs, or violence, some where athletes, some not, but I considered all of the ones I recognized as trustworthy, quality people. I continued investigating and everything I learned felt right. Their meetings where different from the other churches I attended, and there seemed to be a lot more meetings then other churches but nothing strange or uncomfortable. I took the missionary discussions, prayed about them, read the Book of Mormon, prayed about it, and became a member. I have tried to obediently follow the teaching of the Church and be true to the commitment I made when I was baptized. My life has been blessed and I can't imagine what it would be without the guiding principals, and comfort the restored gospel gives me. I can not comprehend that a loving heavenly father would not provide a living prophet for his children in these perilous times, just as he did in the past for all who would listen.
How I live my faith
I attend every meeting, and try my best to live the gospel daily. I treat others with respect, and I do not judge them, I may not agree with their ideas or actions, I know everyone is one their own journey and I can not begin to understand their trials. I try to help others when ever I can. I know that our Lord uses us to help his other children. I believe that Jesus Christ is my savior, and that I must not only believe but I must act as I know he would have me do. I know I am not perfect, but I hope, pray and believe that the Sacrifice of Jesus will be sufficient for me to return to my heavenly father.
