About Me

My photo
Hello my name is Elder Julian Gordon Pratt. I was born in Romania in Eastern Europe. I am 25 yrs old. When I turned 6 1/2 years old I was adopted and came to America and I have been living here since. When I was born I was born without any hands so I have small stubbs or almost an arms length and so I had to adapt to life and figure out ways to live especially I had to learn English. I can type between 37-42 WPM (Words Per Minute) I love to play soccer, (my favorite sport), Basketball, and Dodge ball. I enjoy hanging out with my friends and my family members. I am in New York Rochester Mission, to serve the Lord the best I can for two years. I am a Missionary for The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints and I am greatful that the Lord has allowed me to be part of the Missionary work and to have the oppurtunity to help anyone who has a desire to wanting to learn about God and the wonderful things he is and has been helping them wether it is getting through trials or overcoming hardships. I am greatful God is allowing me to represent as Jesus Christ and to help many people just like how Jesus Christ has helped many people when he was on the Earrth.

Follow Your Dreams

This video is about a guy who is a Korean his name is Choi, Sung-bong he is 22 years old. He has lived in very difficult situtaions in his life. He was in a orphange at three years old and he ran away from there because he was beaten and so he ran away frrom the orphange. For the next ten years he bought gum and energy drinks and sold the produtcs to the people on the streets. He then he took a test called CED and passed elemetry and middle school.The first time he actually went to school it was a High School. He started singing when he was on the streets becuase that was one of the first things he liked to do and he started following that path and he went on to Korean Talent show and sang really good. So what does this have to do with following your dreams well no mater how hard life is you can do everything you can to not give up and to keep trying becuase "You Can Do It" Follow your dreams and when some people say thats not a something you should do well if you enjoy signing, playing an instrument, or anything else I say go for it becuase God has given each of us different talents and we should use the talents that we have been given becuase its a free gift he has intrusted each of us and he expects us to use them.

I wasn't much of a person who like to sing but as I have started to make some songs within this past few months almost 2 years. I have started to have a desire to want to go on a music cuareer path because its something I enjoy doing and I noticed its a way that Heveanly Father is helping me get through the hard times. When I start thinking of the words to write for my songs, I know the words our coming from Heveanly Father becuase the words are not the words that I can just pop out of my head. I want to let others know about the songs and I hope that there reading it and how God is truly there for all of us and wants us to suceed in this life. As long as we do our part God will give us blessings that we need and in Doctrine and Covenants 130 verse 20, 21 it says

20 There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated—
 21 And when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated.

Here is the link for those scriptures

I will post my second song soon maybe in 3 weeks from now.

My Mission For The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints

Missionary work is not easy but it is a joyful experience at the same time. It takes all of our strenghth, our time, sacrafice and a willingness to serve our Lord. I have been out almost a year now. I also have noticed the difference and that I'm starting to realize in what kind of person God reccommends me to be. When it comes to preparing to go on a Mission. Like what President Thomas S. monson (President for The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints) He says that we need to be worthy and that is so true if were not worthy how can we have the spirit with us? The answer is we cant have the spirit with us if were not worthy. I urge all young men and young women to prepare themselves to be ready to have the oppurtunity to go on a Mission. Here is some of the ways that has helped me to prepare to go. (1) start savig and ptting some money aside for your mission, (2) read and study the scriptures both the Holy Bible and The Book Of Mormon. (3) Read and study the PMG (Preach My Gospel) that will have the answers of how to be a missionary and the things that are talked about in there can help you work with members, and many other things i there can help. (3) Always do your best to seek guidence from our Heveanly Father and always him for the blessings he has given you. Don't forget to pray to him becuase I promise you he listens and he will answers to whatever questions that you have and they will be answerd in his way and his time we just need to be patience. (4) "Don't Give Up" and keep presssing forward and cling to the Gospel and be an example to others around you and give service to those that may need some help.

These our some of the things that hlped me before I left. I know by deciding to go on a mission Satan (Devil will do everything he can to stop you. before I left and after I made the choice to go on Mission. satn decide to put some trials in my way and two of those trials were (1) I was with my best friend Spencer and some of his friends we were all walking home from his friends house. I was walking along the sidewalk a dog came up and i slipped over a pile of snow which i thought it was snow but there was ice underneath and I feel and as I was falling my left arm swung out to try and catch myself instead it got caught on a chainling fence and the fence pulled my arm back and I broke a small peice of bone in My arm. (2) I had a penecidence taken out I was not feeling good the night before I went to the ER and so I went to the Er and they said I came in just in time cuase if I didnt the penicidence will soon have explode inside me. So even with these two major obstacles that came my way i was delyed 6 weeks I would Have left February 16, 2011 but instead I left March 30, 2011. So during these hard times I feel like my Faith and Testimony has grown tremendious becauee it just shows when ever something spiritual experience is about to happen Every time Satan will come before or right after the Spiritual experience to take us down but we eed to "stand back up and keep pressing (moving) forward no matter what it takes. I know that the things I have said are true and  that we need to realying on or Father in Hevean for his help becuae we truly can't face our trials alone. I know as long as we do our part and give our 100% then Jesus Christ can give his 100% and help us out becuase he truly cares about us and wants us to do everything we can to keep the comandments. So Don't Give Up no matter how hard things get.

We Can Live With God Again.

This life is a journey we have obstacles that we need to overcome. We have many things we should learn from. We should be greatful for the oppurtunity to be here and to learn and grow. When we die it is not the END, for death is just the begining of a new future. When we lose somebody that we truly care about, and I agree it is hard to lose somebody but rest assure that you will see that person again because we God has a plan and its called The Plan Of Salvation. This means that when we past on from this life we will go to Heaven and see our family members that past on before us and it will be a great time to be with our family again. How sweet is that Heavenly father loves us and that he wants all of us to come back to him. Here is a scripture concerning about what happens to us after we die. Its in The Book Of Mormon Another Testament Of Jesus Christ.

Alma Chapter 40 Verse 11, 12.
Here is the link to more of the scrptures http://lds.org/scriptures/bofm/alma/40.12?lang=eng#11

 11 Now, concerning the state of the soul between death and the resurrection—Behold, it has been made known unto me by an angel, that the spirits of all men, as soon as they are departed from this mortal body, yea, the spirits of all men, whether they be good or evil, are taken home to that God who gave them life.

 12 And then shall it come to pass, that the spirits of those who are righteous are received into a state of happiness, which is called paradise, a state of rest, a state of peace, where they shall rest from all their troubles and from all care, and sorrow.

Footprints

This is  a story from a book called ("The Missionary's Little Book Of Inspirational Stories") That was given to me before I left on a mision to new york

"One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that at times of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that these were the lowest and saddest times in his life. This bothered him, and he asked the lord "You said that once I decided to follow You, You'd walk with me all the way. But during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. Why, when I needed You most, did you You leave me?" The Lord replied , "My son, I love you and would never leave you. During those times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it is then that I was carrying you."


I agree to what this story said there may be times in our lives that we feel alone or sad but there is somebody above us who cares about us and he truly loves us and he is more then willing to help us if we accpet him and invite him into our lives. Jesus does love us and he is always having his hands extented to reach towards us but it is us who decides if we accpeth him. I know Jesus Christ our Savior and our Lord did died for us and set an example for us and we should look towards the examaple he has set for us and if we folow the commandments that our Heavanely Father gave to us we can truly be happier.
