All About Mormons

I have strong faith in my Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ. I’m not one of the Utah-Mormons, so called. I live at the other side of the planet. Over here, Mormons are very rare, and not many know about us. Christians are not so popular over here. One reason is that there has been a lot of focus in media on all the bad things Christianity has done to the people through the European history. I have been struggling with prejudices and people who think we are absolutely crazy believing all these stuffs. Nevertheless, my Lord blesses me even more, and I have felt his power in my life so many times, that denying this is His church and doctrines, is out of question. When I follow His commandments and do the things He taught, I feel like a better person and I feel that the windows of heaven open even more to let its light shine upon me.

Whenever I feel worried or feeling that me myself can’t handle all of it, a hymn comes to my mind: “My shepherd will supply my need, Jehovah is his name. In pastures fresh he makes me feed, beside the living stream. He brings my wondering spirit back, when I forsake his ways, and leads me for his mercy’s sake, in paths of truth and light. When I walk through the shades of death, thy presence is my stay. One word of thy supporting breath, drives all my fears away. Thy hand in sight of all my foes, doth still my table spread. My cup with blessings overflows, thine oil anoints my head. The sure provisions of my God, attend me all my days. O, may thy house be mine abode, and all my work be praise! There would I find a settled rest, while others go and come – No more a stranger nor a guest, but like a child at home.”

I’m young – only 19, and I feel I have so much more to learn about the gospel. I’ve just scratched the surface. I hope He will continue to bless me and let me stay in the church all my life so I can be his servant here on earth, doing the things He has in plan for me. I trust Him, and I know that He would only make me do things that are for good. Even if it can be hard to understand from our point of view sometimes. 🙂

So many times He has inspired me or people near me so that this life not just become livable, but wonderful.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
