3. I BELIEVE

I joined the mormon church in the fall of 1956 when I graduated from high school and we moved from Three Hills to Calgary. I am grateful to have found a church still run by the Savior today, now resurrected, through living prophets and apostles here on the earth, and with all the ingredients of His original church, like priesthood authority, temples and respect for healthful and righteous living.

I was fortunate to be married in a mormon temple, with proper priesthood authority, not just "til death do us part", but for all eternity. My Margaret and I, and our children are a forever family. We learn from our living prophets and apostles that life continues after death, and how we prepare now will determine how we will live then.

It is nice to belong to a church that is growing and has the resources to help the victims of disasters world-wide, usually the first on-site with vast quantities of food, clothing, portable shelters or whatever community assistance is needed. During 2008 the LDS church distributed over 300,000 wheelchairs throughout the world! I marvel at what I read on the http://www.lds.org/ web-site NEWS EVENTS or www.mormontimes.com about the amazing things the church is doing.
