My witness of a living Apostle of Jesus Christ

I have been blessed in my life to have had some wonderful examples, leaders, and friends. As I have thought today about someone who exemplifies Christlike service, my mission president, now an Apostle, Neil L. Andersen, has been on my mind.

Making a music video

This is my first attempt at recording, filming, editing, and publishing a music video. I know it’s not as polished as it could be, but it’s my first attempt.

Hurrah for Israel

The secret about the Book of Mormon

I was raised in the faith of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My grandmother always had the Book of Mormon on the end table next to her chair so she could read it every day. It was well marked and worn. I saw her read it often.  I had my personal copyContinueContinue reading “The secret about the Book of Mormon”
