The LDS Church





I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS). I am serving a two-year proselytizing mission in Asunción, Paraguay speaking Spanish for the Church. I plan to learn and love the people of Paraguay and get the most out of the experience I have been given by spreading the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.

What we believe
We believe in the strengthening of families, service to others, missionary work, lifelong learning, freedom to choose, humanitarian aid, good citizenship, and family history.

"We are all spiritual children of a loving Heavenly Father who sent us to this earth to learn and grown in a mortal state. As Mormons, we are followers of Jesus Christ. We live our lives to serve Him and teach of His eternal plan for each of us."


"When Jesus Christ lived on the earth, He organized His Church so that all people could receive His gospel and return one day to live with God, our Heavenly Father. After Jesus Christ died, was resurrected and ascended to heaven, His Apostles continued to receive revelation from Him through the Holy Ghost on how to direct the work of His Church. However, after they were killed, members changed the teachings of the Church that He had established. While many good people and some truth remained, this Apostasy, or general falling away from the truth, brought about the withdrawl of the Church from the earth (2 Thessalonians 2:1-3; Acts 20:29-30). The Apostle Peter prophesied that Jesus would restore His Church before His Second Coming (Acts 3:19-21).

Jesus Christ began to restore His Church in its fulness to the earth through the Prophet Joseph Smith in 1820. It has grown to become a worldwide Church with over 13 million members. It has the same teachings and basic organization as the Church established by Jesus in the New Testament times."


"And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost." (Moroni 10:4)
