“Are Mormons Christians?”

Katherine C., Illinois, USA

Members of my seminary class often share missionary experiences. But one time, two months had gone by since anyone shared, so I thought it was time to make a move. I prayed to Heavenly Father, saying that if He would let me have a missionary experience that day at school, I’d do everything in my power to teach others as much about the gospel as I possibly could. The first question came from my locker partner and close friend, Tabitha.

“Are Mormons Christians?” she asked.

“Of course I’m a Christian!” I cheerfully responded, “I believe in Jesus. Did you know that the actual name of my church is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?” Then we talked a little more.

Throughout the day it seemed like people flooded me with questions.

The next day, as I related my stories to my seminary class, I knew that I’d have missionary moments as long as I desired them.
