Little Tid-Bits of History

I'm Mormon. 

I love being Mormon. 

I stand proud amongst the millions of others who believe what I believe and who trust whole-heartedly what I trust.

Did you know that in the entire history of the United States, the Mormon religion is the one and only religion that it was legal to kill a member?

Kind of insane.

I also wanted to share this story here that occurred last winter. The Mormon Tabernacle burned down. It was truly heart-breaking but this came out of it.


The entire painting scorched, ALL except around Christ. How cool is that?

This video gave me chills as the scope and magnitude of the history of my church settled in.

My mom converted to Mormonism after being a Roman Catholic for 43 years. I was very hesitant at first but after seeing her join the church she has come out of her shell a little bit more. She actually has friends and does things. I do not fully understand why she converted but I am so incredibly happy that she is happy.
