Are Mormons Christian?

I saw a couple news articles this week where a prominent Evangelical Pastor said that Mormons are not Christians. I felt very sad when I read this and just want to take a moment to express my feelings about Jesus Christ. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I love and worship Jesus Christ as the Savior and Redeemer of the world and I know that I can only be saved through Him. He is the Son of God. He suffered and was crucified for the sins of the world, giving each of God’s children the gift of repentance and forgiveness...and resurrection! I am so grateful to Him and hope to one day kneel at His feet and thank Him for all He has done for me.

This is one of my favorite depictions of the Savior. He is looking over Jerusalem on the Mount of Olives saying, "How oft would I have gathered you as a hen gathereth her chickens, but ye would not." He is always with us and will protect us if we let Him.

Zion Narrows

We traveled to Zion National Park for Labor Day Weekend to hike the famous 16 mile "Top-Down Hike" in the Zion Virgin River Narrows. It was spectacular!!!
Here's the beginning of the hike (the last dry land we see for a long time!). We call this our "artistic shot". haha!

Another "artistic" shot!
We came up to this waterfall on the trail. Glad it wasn't dark when we came up to it!Them there are mountain lion or coyote tracks ya'll! Wish I would have put an object next to them for size reference because they were much bigger in person. Kinda scary!Our campsite was under a rock! Matt said if it was our time to go, it must REALLY be our time to go because that rock had been there for ages (haha...rock of ages...I made a funny!).We had the best dinner! I highly recommend Mountain House freeze dried food! YUMMY!The second day, swimming through freezing cold water was a requirement! It was shocking!The famous "Wall Street". So beautiful!A water snake! Yay!When all was said and done, we went and ate ice cream! It was so nice to put dry clothes on! I highly recommend this hike! It was so beautiful and a blast!
