Hi I'm Andrew
I'm an actor, an English major, and I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I am currently going to a prestigious University, studying to become an English teacher one day. I grew up in Nevada, and served a full-time two-year mission in Iowa. Some of my hobbies include inventing my own board and card games, reading, writing, and assembling jigsaw puzzles. I really enjoy acting, and took four years of theater in High School. We would perform many plays during the school year, and I won best actor two of my four years from a local academy.
Why I am a Mormon
I am a Mormon because the Book of Mormon is true. It's as simple as that, really. The Book of Mormon is a record of some Native American people who lived over 2,000 years ago, and was translated by a prophet living in these last days named Joseph Smith. If the Book of Mormon is truly that ancient record as Joseph Smith says it is, then he is a prophet, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is Christ's church on earth. I know that the Book of Mormon is true, and that it is the word of God, to go hand in hand with the Holy Bible. Because of this testimony, I know that the Mormon Church is the only church on earth today that's lead by Jesus Christ the Savior Himself. And because I want to follow my Savior and be as close to Him as possible, I am a member of this church. Of His church.
How I live my faith
I live my faith by doing what Christ would have me do. "Every thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ; wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of God." I have found that all that the Mormon church teaches is to bring people closer to God. I live my life as one constantly improving. When I discover something I'm doing that brings me farther away from Christ, I strive to stop doing that. I don't: watch R-rated movies, do homework on Sundays, cuss, drink, smoke, have pre-marital sex, tell dirty jokes, gamble, steal, nor many other degrading habits. I do: go to church every Sunday, pay tithes, do community service, treat everyone with respect, read the scriptures daily, pray daily, fast monthly, and many other uplifting habits. I have found that by doing these things the Lord has blessed me abundantly.
