Hi I'm Shawni
I am a missionary in Scotland and Ireland, I am a singer and runner and I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I am a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am serving in the Scotland/Ireland Mission! I am also a student. I have done a triathlon and enjoy running and swimming. I love to read and doing fun and creative activities. I love being outside.
Why I am a Mormon
I am a Mormon, not because I grew up in the church and my parents have told me to be who I am, but because I know for myself that what I have been taught about God and His Gospel is true. He loves me and I know this because of how I feel when I pray to Him, go to His church, and read the scriptures that testify of Him. I remember when I was a teenager, I wondered if I knew this was the true church. It was not in one moment that I knew it all was correct, but I saw from the good things I did every day that my life was so wonderful. Life is sweeter when Christ is at the center of my life. I can do hard things through the Atonement Christ performed for all mankind. Seeing the good and feeling the power of the Atonement in my life shows that God does live and loves me. That is why I choose to be a Mormon.
How I live my faith
I live my faith every day in how I choose to be like Jesus Christ by my actions, thoughts, and treat others. I live my faith by praying every day, reading my scriptures, being kind to my family members, and serving those around me.
