Hi I'm Whitney
I'm 19 years old, a Colorado girl, and have devoted 18 months of my life to serving the Lord. I'm a Mormon.
About Me
I am 19 years old and a photographer. I love finding grace in this world, capturing it, making it pop, and letting everyone else discover the beauty that can hide so well. If I am not taking pictures, you can find me playing any kind of sport or having a good time with my 7 siblings. Having fun and doing something crazy is the sure way to a fantastic day. I am a firm believer that laughter is the best medicine. I always have a smile on my face, and try my best to make other people happy. I am serving an 18 month mission in the West Virginia Charleston Mission, and I absolutely LOVE it!
Why I am a Mormon
The Church is the one thing in my life that has always remained constant. I can always rely on the Church to be the same anywhere I go. To me that just shows how true the Church is. The spirit has confirmed to me that the Book of Mormon is a true book and was written by the prophets of the Lord. I know this to be true. Life isn't an easy thing to go through, there are so many trials we will go through. A couple years ago I was going through something very difficult and I didn't know where to turn to for help, so I got to my knees and prayed for strength and comfort in this hard time. Instantly I felt the love the Savior has for me and knew that no matter what that love would always be there as He would. I know I am never alone in this life. I am the happiest when I am living the gospel right. My best weeks are when I have been staying true to the Church and trying my best to live worthy. Being a Mormon is the best choice I have ever made and I will always make the choice to live this way. I love this church and I love my savior.
How I live my faith
I have just chosen to serve a mission for my church. I will be serving the Lord across the country, away from my family. I am willing to sacrifice my connections to them so I can help others to be with their families for eternity. Before I head off I am teaching little children lessons in the bible(yes we do read the bible as well). Before I was a leader to the youth helping to plan many activities for us to do, and of course teaching them in any way I possibly could. Being an example to those around me is the best way I can teach others. I lead by example, and hope that I can make a positive effect on others. I absolutely love serving everyone.
