Who is the most inspirational person you've met through your faith? To be honest there is an awful lot of people that have been an inspiration. The most inspirational to me I'd probably say would be Gordon B Hinckley who is the prophet of the church today.

There are a lot of famous members of our church, I think probably the most famous members of our church would have to be the Osmonds.

I'd have to say no, to be honest, because I feel that every part fits together to form a whole and to have one part missing would be incomplete.

Is there anything in your faith that you think deserves more prominence than it usually gets? I think the fact that we believe in Jesus Christ that he is the son of God and the saviour of the world, that he died and was resurrected and that he lives today, I think deserve more prominence.

What is your favourite proverb/phrase? I tends to vary from week to week what my favourite verse is, or my favourite chapter.
