About Craig

Hello:

My name is Craig. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Many people call us by a nickname called the Mormons. I am a young, married, recent college graduate. Many members of the Church serve a 2-year voluntary mission where they send in personal information to the Church headquarters and are called by a living Prophet to go to an assigned area. Some are called to serve foreign-language speaking missions. All missionaries go to a Missionary Training Center where they learn how to teach and become missionaries, as well as learn another language if necessary. I served in the Wisconsin Milwaukee Mission. I was a Spanish-speaking missionary. Most of the missionaries in my mission were English-speaking and there were also Hmong-speaking missionaries. As a missionary, you are assigned to different areas that are in your mission boundaries. It varies how long a missionary is in an area. I served in 6 different areas in Wisconsin, including Waukesha, Appleton, Madison, Milwaukee, Kenosha, and Green Bay. I am grateful for the experience that I had to be a full-time missionary for the Church. It was one of the great blessings of my life.

I want to use this blog as a board to post my feelings about the Church and some of its teachings. I also want people to post questions and comments, especially those who sincerely want to know more about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A great blessing that Heavenly Father (God) gives us is to communicate with Him through prayer and we can ask Him if something is true or false. I know for myself that Heavenly Father is a living and loving God who wants to help and guide His children. I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior and that only through Him can we be free from sin and are able to live again with our Heavenly Father. I know that the true church of Jesus Christ was restored, or brought back through the Prophet Joseph Smith. I know that we have a living Prophet today, Thomas S. Monson. I know that the Book of Mormon is true and with the Bible, we have two witnesses that God loves all mankind and guides all mankind through his servants, the prophets and apostles.

This blog is our opinions and beliefs and is not an official declaration from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I encourage you to visit lds.org and mormon.org.

I look forward to talking with many of you. I hope my wife and I can help others to find true and lasting happiness through this blog.
