LDS/Mormon Q&A

1 value - Virtual OK - Posted Feb 01, 2017

Do you have any questions regarding the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (AKA "the Mormon Church")? I am very happy to help you to learn about this wonderful religion.

Just like any religion, there is so much to this one: a peculiar history, unique doctrines, a stand-out structure, etc. We even boast the largest and oldest women's organization in the world: the Relief Society.

Just some juicy tidbits about my church and its history:

- We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. We believe them each to be three distinct Beings, rather than a three-in-one Trinity.
- We believe that families can be together forever, with marriage lasting for eternity.
- We have additional scriptures, some of which are a compilation known as the Book of Mormon (from which our nickname "Mormon Church" originated).
- Many members of the first generations of the Church were active Freemasons.
- Total church membership today includes 15,634, 199 members worldwide.
- That membership is divided into 30, 016 congregations.
- The Book of Mormon has been published in 188 languages.

Disclaimer: Although I am happy to teach about my religion, there are some things that I believe are too sacred to be discussed in such a mundane setting as simbi, Skype, etc. When such a topic is touched upon during conversation, I'll happily expound on general explanations, but will not delve into detail.

Training & Qualifications


I was raised and am an active Latter-day Saint.

I served as a volunteer full-time missionary in the Mexico, Mexico City North Mission from 9 June, 2010 to 14 June, 2012. As a missionary, I taught all of the basic doctrines, principles, and ordinances of the Gospel.

I currently co-teach Sunday School with my wife, and have done so for the past year.

Availability & Preferences


Friday afternoons, Saturdays, Sundays, and Monday morninigs.

Trading Preference: Pay it forward – pass on the good deed!

I like Simbi's concept because here our skills are our currency. Cutting out the money here is like cutting out the middleman of the transaction; we all serve each other one skill for another.

About Brandon ᎡᏙᎰᎢ Cole

I am currently attending Dixie State University. My major is in Spanish and I may minor in Criminal Justice -- Criminology. After that, I plan on going to law school and possibly joining the USAF JAG ...Corps. The areas of law in which I'd like to specialize are criminal defense, tax law, and tribal law. I am an active, faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I served as a full-time volunteer missionary for two years in the Mexico, Mexico City North Mission, which at that time comprised of the northern half of the state of México, the southern half of the state of Hidalgo, and all of Querétaro. My wife and I currently co-serve as Sunday School teachers. I am a member of the Central Band of Cherokee Indians. I spoke Cherokee as a child. My family moved a lot when I was younger, so I did not retain my native fluency. I study the Cherokee language in some of my spare time. I am a Freemason; I was raised to the sublime degree of Master Mason (3°) on 17 Dec, 2016. I attend my local lodge regularly. I have found it to be a wonderful way to improve my life and to be of service to my neighbors. Finally, I am happily married to the most beautiful, caring, patient, and intelligent woman on the face of the planet. We have been married since 21 Dec, 2012 and I don't regret one second of my marriage. She's my best friend, my partner, and the absolute love of my life.show more
