Hi I'm Aurora
I'm a reader, writer, history nerd, Boy Scout, and I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I was home-schooled from kindergarten to the end of high school. I have an AA in History. I sometimes call myself the Roman Goddess of the Dawn, since that is where my name comes from. I am currently serving a mission in Orlando, Florida. I am a children's writer. I collect bookmarks; I believe I have over five hundred (it has been a while since I counted). I love to read fiction books. I mostly read fantasy, but I also like other genres as well. I am a Venturer, which is part of the Boy Scouts of America. The venturing program is for ages 14-21 and is co-ed. I have both the Silver and Ranger awards. I play the violin and am learning to play the guitar. I love spending time with my family, which consists of my mother, father, older brother, older sister and her husband, and my younger sister.
Why I am a Mormon
My parents are Mormon, so I joined the church when I was 8. But why I'm a Mormon is much deeper than that. It involves many times when I felt the spirit tell me the truth. When I was five my family read the Book of Mormon, and when we were done, I decide to pray and find out if it was true. I prayed and knew then that I was happy, and happy was good. As my five-year-old self I knew that The Book of Mormon made me happy, and that I always wanted to be happy. Another time when I felt the spirit, was just after I heard the Prophet speak. I felt like screaming out with happiness and letting everyone know about my faith. There are many, many more times when I have felt the spirit testify of the truth of the gospel.
How I live my faith
I live my faith by going on a mission. I live my faith by smiling and showing how happy I am. I live my faith by living the commandments. I live my faith by sharing the gospel with those I meet. I live my faith by trying to be like Jesus.
