Who are Latter Day Saints?

THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST"The Lord's Church has always been a missionary church. Jesus Christ's life was the perfect example of missionary work. During His ministry on earth, he taught the gospel at all times, in all places, and to all kinds of people. Jesus taught the educated men in the temple, the sinners, the faithful and the unbelieving. He also called apostles and other disciples to preach the gospel so more people could hear about the blessings of His gospel. Most of their preaching during Christ's life was to their own people, the Jews. After Jesus was resurrected, He visited His apostles and sent them to preach to the gentiles. He commanded them, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15)http://mormon.org/jesus-christ/

DEDICATION TO LEARNING
"Mormons are urged to learn about the secular as well as the spiritual. Secular knowledge, you could say, deals with the things we learn in school—math, science, history, literature, languages, music and so on. Spiritual knowledge is what you learn through scripture study, prayer and church attendance—things like our Heavenly Father’s Plan of Happiness, Jesus Christ's Gospel, and how to build faith. Both kinds of knowledge help us to know how to work through our individual challenges in a balanced approach."Mormon.org/learning

FAMILY FIRST
"People who have lived through a disaster never say, “All I could think about during the earthquake was my bank account.” They almost always say, “All I could think about was my wife and children.” It shouldn’t require a disaster for us to know this truth. But too often, we let earning money, chasing pleasure, or even the needs of people outside our families divert our attention. In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints families come first"  Mormon.org/family


SERVING OTHERS
"Service allows us to practice doing what Jesus would do. It connects us to those we serve and gives us a kind of satisfaction that self-interest can never offer"

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches that because everything we have comes from God, we should be willing to share it all—from our possessions and money to our time and talents—in order to help others who are in need (And it's important to remember that we're all needy in one way or another). When we serve others we are reminded that nothing in this life lasts as long as the bonds we form with other people, and there's no better way to connect ourselves to others than by working together for our common good" Mormon.org/service
