 * Name: Joseph Smith **


 * Culture: Mormon **


 * Beliefs: Have many different scriptures they read consisting of the Bible, the Book of Mormon and writings from Joseph Smith that are called Doctrine and Covenants. Anything that is written by a prophet is considered to be the word of god. According to the Mormons every person on earth will be resurrected, and they will go into different kingdoms of glory. There are different levels of this kingdom, and to be in the highest one be very into religion and accept christ through faith. Mormons believe that there religion is the only true and living church. **


 * Values: Mormons value a lot of things some of these include: **
 * Strengthening Families- Happy families are grounded from Jesus. **
 * Service to others- because jesus spent his life helping others. **
 * Missionary Work- Follow gods saying and bless children. **
 * Lifelong Learning- Education helps us contribute to society. **
 * Good Citizenship- Makes the world a safer place. **
 * Freedom to Choose- Have freedom to choose how our future goes. **


 * Language: Mormons practice speaking in tongues, which is a supernatural gift from the Holy Spirit. It is a language you speak but it is unknown to you. It is the language of the angels, and it is a considered a gift from god to be able to speak in this language. You read scriptures from the bible and other different reads. **


 * Behaviors: Mormons do not do many activities like watching bad movies, drinking alcohol,or going out on sundays. They believe that if they live a certain way that they will become closer to god. The Mormon people keep what they do by their own choice, the church will not force them to do anything. If they break the rules it will be considered a sin and they will have to pray to god for forgiveness, and if it is bad they may need to confess to a bishop. **


 * Globalization: Mormonism has been spread across the world to about 162 different countries, and it is still growing. There are almost 11 million members currently in mormonism. Started in New York State. South America, Mexico, and Central America are half of the mormon population, and the U.S. and Canada are another third. **


 * Goodwill Ambassador: These things will all help a Goodwill Ambassador because knowing that mormons are very tight on rules you know that they could be trusted on being a goodwill ambassador because they can follow rules and directions correctly. **


 * Undesirable Aspects: Mormons religion may be different to get used to, and speaking in the tongues is something that only a select few people can do in mormonism because it is considered as a gift. The rules they have are also kind of strict compared to other cultures. **
