Hi I'm Brad

My ancestry joined the church in 1840 in England. We have been Mormons ever since. I have grown up in the church, but, had to find out for myself. It started early for me. My mom shared a story with me when I was eight or nine years old that she shared a photo with me of the Savior. I told her that was not what He looked like. A few days later, she said I had forgotten that moment and exclaimed the image before me was the Savior. Since then, I have lived wanting to have that relationship, that I know my Savior. As I have read the scriptures, listened to the counsel given by modern day prophets, and prayed to know for myself, I know who my Savior is. And, I know that this is His church. It was restored through a prophet and that same church continues to this day. Led by that Christ who is our Redeemer through a living prophet for the direction and guidance that we might return back to our Heavenly Father's presence. It is because of the quiet whisperings of the Holy Ghost that I know this is true. And I am thankful that I know this.

 I truly believe that the best way is through example. I have the opportunity right now to work with our Young Men ages 12 to 18. I watch them serve their friends and administer in the blessings of the Gospel. I see them work miracles and it strenthens me. I see them obtain their own testimony, challenge that testimony, and then share that testimony to their friends who do not have the same beliefs. I feel a priviledge to work with them. To understand their trials. To hear their concerns. To see their excitements. It is envigorating to watch them succeed.
