Mormon.org

This has been a crazy Memorial Day weekend for me. I did want to publish a link to my new profile on mormon.org. This is a great website to find out answers to questions you may have regarding the Latter-day Saint faith.

Here's my page specifically. http://www.mormon.org/me/GRWV/Paula


Hope it helps you!

The Temple



I found this photo on the Facebook page I am LDS and I couldn't resist posting it here with a little information.

I love seeing any LDS temple because it represents my Heavenly Father's love for me. In temples families can be sealed together for time and all eternity, and that's how long I want my family to be with me! If you're interested you can learn more about LDS temples by clicking here.

A starting point

Hi everyone!

Some of you know I am working towards an associates degree in family history through Brigham Young University - Idaho (BYU-I). This semester one of my courses focuses on the family. I have chosen as my class project to have an active blog focusing on the family. Some of you may not know what "Mormons" or those in the LDS faith believe when it comes to our families. I hope to remedy this for you and that you may be able to find some of the answers here. I will post documents, videos, talks from our church leaders, etc. those things that can help you better understand your LDS friends.

Let me first start with: The Family: A Proclamation to the World. This was a proclamation made to the world in 1995 by the presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I urge you to click on the link and read the document for yourself. When it was issued in 1995 it seemed like the statement was not necessary, as most people believed the same way. Now...well you can decide if it is needed.
