- Where did I come from?
- Why am I here or what is my purpose?
- Where am I going after I die?
So with those outlined I want to talk about the answers and how we can apply them to our lives and our understanding.
1. Where did I(we) come from ?
Answer: We believe that we came from a place called the Premortal World or Preexistence. Where with lived with God. This is a place where we decided to follow God's plan for us. When we came to earth we were born into this world and given a body from God.
2. Why am I here or what is my purpose?
Answer: When we come to earth we are given a physical body. Why? Well, God wants us to be happy and find joy and peace in our lives amidst the confusion and evil of today's world. This is important because, without knowledge or experience of this world we can never become like our father in Heaven.
As we become more clean and pure and do good and righteous things the more we can be closer to our Heavenly Father. As I have gone through my life I realize more and more that my purpose here on earth is to share the gospel and to become more like Heavenly Father.
I know that our purpose is definitely individual but for the most part our purpose is the same and it is: to learn and grow and to find joy in doing what God asks of us. as we live our lives and try to center ourselves on God and Jesus Christ we can find more joy and love in our lives.
3. Where am I going after I die?
Answer: Death is a hefty thing. It will come to all of us and is a natural part of life. It is hard to have family or friends die and I know how you feel if you have experienced this feeling. It is hard. But we believe that Death is not the end of life but the beginning of a second life. As we die our bodies are separated from our spirit and through the atonement of Jesus Christ we can be again reunited or resurrected with a perfected and pure body never to be separated again.
Moses 1: 39- "For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man."

So after hearing all of these things I want to talk about something that I feel is really important. It is this: That Heavenly Father loves you and really cares for you and as I have said before, I wouldn't be sharing this with you if He didn't love you, but He does and He always will. Now your probably thinking, why did He send us down here? Well if you read the link above about God's plan for us then you understand that God gave us this opportunity so we can learn and grow and become more like Him. He just didn't send us down with out any directions or instructions. He sent us down to earth when the Bible and the Book of Mormon are here for us and when living Prophets called of God are here to give us guidance and direction. No matter what we things we may have done or have seen or heard, we can be cleansed and have our sins washed away through repentance. And yeah sometimes it will be really rough, and sometimes it may be hard to see our true purpose through all of the other stuff. But the closer we are to God, the more clear our purpose becomes. It's true and I know it with all of my heart! I love the Lord and feel His love for me and know that He is reaching out to you and I and all we have to do is give our lives to Him and do our best to follow Him.
I bear witness that Christ lives and the God is our Father and Creator and the He lives and I know that we are His children. I know this gospel is true, and I can't say it enough! Because I know it is true! And I do testify of these things in the Name of Jesus Christ, our dear Brother and Savior, Amen.
