HockeyDude Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Hey. I'm a member of the church from Minnesota, currently a sophomore in High School. I've been in plenty of forums actually, mainly for writing and inline skating groups, but one day I thought I'd see if there was an online forum for the church, and here I am! Little bit about myself: I'm an all out athlete, I made Varsity soccer for the first time year, hopefully Varisty hockey when that comes, and I'll be running track one more year, before I either switch to lacrosse or use the spring time to get a job. I am also only a couple minutes off of being a professional inline skater based on marathon time, so hopefully I'll get myself a sponsor and a team soon enough! :-) However, I have the same "fire" for the church as I do sports, I incorporate it into my everyday life, and cannot be happier to say so. I love our church, and learning about it. It can be hard, being 1 out of 5 LDS members in a large high school, but it's worth it! So, that wraps up a lengthy intro. I hope I'm not out of place here! :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this church and all that it stands for. I have a great testomony of the gospel as it is what saved me from the "dark" side 15 years ago.... (That and a "Angel" of a wife that the lord used to bring me back when I thought I was Lost!!) Always to good hear from others....

MorningStar Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 It's good to meet you! You sound very well rounded having as much passion for the gospel as your hobbies. :) At our stake conference, one of the speakers said they knew a young man whose whole life was soccer and when he went on his mission he felt unprepared. He lived a worthy life, but he didn't feel knowledgable about many things. Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
