My name is Kate, and I was recently baptized. Joining the church has filled me with a comforting feeling of "coming home" yet everything is so new to me.

I am the only LDS member in my family, and it was a decision to go into this alone. In a short time I have gained such a strong testimony of the gospel yet I feel somewhat alone in my journey. I have made many friends at church and they guide me, however those in my personal life do not understand (and some do not agree) with my life choice.

I would like to connect with people who are like minded to me, to help me grow in my faith and endure to the end.

Ultimately I want to find the right man for me, the one I am to spend the rest of eternity with and start a family. I appreciate someone who shares the same values that I have, but can also accept me for who I was before I joined the church.

I am a laid back, quiet person. I love and appreciate art and love to see the beauty in everyday things. People say that I have a strange view of the world and am capable of seeing things that others don't. I like to show this through my photography :)

I also love children. I don't have my own yet, but I develop strong and fast bonds with children that I encounter. I've worked in day cares before and it is by far the most rewarding occupation I have had. I can't wait to be a mother to my own children. It is this love in my life that has also led me on the career path I have chosen. I am currently finishing up a two year diploma program in social work and have worked in child welfare programs as a student. I love it, and I love being an advocate for kids who don't have a voice of their own yet. It is something I am looking to get into more and more.

If any of this strikes you as interesting, please feel free to send me a message, I try to respond to everyone :)
