Shoutin' From the Rooftops...


This weekend I just happened to be on the roof putting on some gutter guards when I realized that I have always wanted to shout from the rooftop how much I love being Mormon.

So I did.
And it felt good.
I love being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I really do!

Here are 20 reasons why (just to name a few)...

1. I love that I can know the truth of all things for myself. It's more than just believing. I know that this is Jesus Christ's one and only true Church through confirmation of the Holy Ghost.

2. The Book of Mormon. These scriptures are so sacred and close to my heart. They testify of Jesus Christ and of Heavenly Father. They also testify that Joseph Smith is a true prophet of God.

3. I love the Holy Temple and its sacred ordinances within.

4. The principles within the Gospel. They have shaped my life and helped me to be a better daughter, friend, co-worker, and all around person in general.

5. I love that there is a Prophet of God. On this earth. At this very time.

6. General Conferences.

7. Relief Society.

8. Our amazing Humanitarian Aid.

9. The Plan of Salvation

10. The missionaries who so willingly give years of their lives and thousands of their own dollars to preach the RESTORED Gospel.

11. Tithing.

12. No one is esteemed higher than another.

13. The Power of the Priesthood.

14. Church callings.

15. Being blessed with the Gift of the Holy Ghost.

16. The love that is given so freely by all.

17. Christ is the center of all we do and believe.

18. The encouragement and resources to do Genealogy.

19. My family can be together forever!

20. I have never felt any thing as good nor been happier since I became a Latter-day Saint.

I am so proud to be a Mormon.
