Hi I'm Austin
I love hiking, playing the harmonica, and spending time with my family. I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I am one of ten in my family (the third oldest of eight kids), and I love being a part of them. My family relationships are among my greatest treasures. I grew up playing with Legos, doing Star Wars lightsaber battles with all of the neighborhood kids out in the street, having airsoft wars, jumping on the trampoline, and all of the fun pretending and messing around that happy kids do. My hobbies growing up consisted mainly of acting, making movies and home vidoes, geocaching, and listening to my favorite music. I'm the kind of person that can have fun in large groups, but could also spend all of my time alone thinking and working on little projects here and there. The best part of my life is my membership in the Lord Jesus Christ's restored church. My happiness is found in it completely--I love the Savior! I try to live my life to reflect His and try to help others find happiness in His Gospel and teachings.
Why I am a Mormon
Living the gospel of Jesus Christ--meaning exercising my faith in Him, repenting and bringing my life into harmony with His will, honoring the covenants and promises I've made with Him to keep His commandments, and following the promptings of the Holy Ghost as I live my life--is what makes me truly happy. Nothing's better! I feel a very real sense of peace and comfort as I follow the Savior. Due to my commitment to Him and my Father in Heaven, I have found great direction and guidance in my life.
How I live my faith
In the past I've been a part of the Young Men's program, in helping the male youth ages 12-18 with church responsibilities and activities/campouts. Right now I am serving as a missionary of the church in San Diego, California. I am working to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them to receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. Working to do this has been a substantial sacrifice for me, but I have never found more happiness in life since I lost myself in the Lord's work.
