What is it like to be Mormon?

What an interesting question that is.

In my own personal experience I'll tell ya.

It's great, it has all these standards and rules I'm asked to follow. Sounds funny right? or maybe even contradicting to most. Why would rules and standards making something great? Don't we all just want to float around in this world doing whatever pleases our human body?

I guess in a sense I like rules and standards, I like knowing what my consequences are and what I can do to avoid those consequences.

But that's not exactly it, there is more to my religion than rules, there is more to it than that. The Book of Mormon literally brings you closer to God. How do I know this?

I have read it, I have prayed about it, and I have acted on it.

Truly when I'm reading that Book, I feel great, I feel God's love stronger.

Many people have misconceptions of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

1. WE ARE CHRISTIAN  (church of JESUS CHRIST)

2. We do not worship Joseph Smith, We know that Joseph Smith restored the True church to the Earth again, but he is not God. He is a Prophet.

3. We are not a cult. I am in no way forced or brainwashed. I promise.

4. We do not believe in polygamy, my dad doesn't have multiple wives. He has one, and he loves her and has eyes only for her.

5. We do believe and follow the bible, as long as it is translated correctly.

Just to clear up a few misconceptions.

There are times when it is hard to be Mormon, so many people feel the need to teach me of what my religion is, and what I believe. Honestly I would love for y'all to take the missionary lessons and read the Book of Mormon and then pray about it, and then we can discuss what we know.

Many people think we are outdated, that our standards are outdated.

But there are many blessings that come from our standards, I'm very grateful for the standards I have!
