What I Believe

My sister found this (through another blog) and we both feel that it is an excellent discussion about what we believe as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Sally Quinn (Washington Post journalist) lead this "Day of Faith" panel interview back in September at Harvard University. 5 Harvard undergrads representing 5 different faiths were interviewed and talked opening about their beliefs. The video below shows Rachel Esplin, a Latter-day Saint (also known as Mormon) -- you can look at the other videos here if you're interested. I've never met Rachel, but I think she does a great job explaining aspects of our faith and giving clear answers to questions that many have about the Mormon church. If you have additional questions after watching this, drop me line! Let's talk. :)

Enjoy!
