To be faithful, we have been taught in D&C, Section 87, Verse 8… To fear not and “Stand ye in Holy Places and be not moved.”  If we do, we can do as Elder Wirthlin was taught… to Come What May, and Love It.

I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is truly Jesus Christ’s church. I know that, because of the intense revelations that I have received. I’m so very grateful for my testimony and for the Gift of the Holy Ghost. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Ever since I was a little girl, my Irish parents made sure I knew that there were two people directly responsible for my family’s membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Imagine my surprise when I learned that their daughter lived 15 minutes from my home in New York!

For members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the temple is the most sacred place of worship on earth—it is the House of the Lord. It is a place set apart from the rest of the world where members seek to draw closer to God. The phrases “Holiness to the Lord” and “The House of the Lord” are found near the entrance of every temple and remind us that each is a sacred place.

“I'm grateful for his faith and the faith of all the Saints that have come before me. I'm grateful for everyone in my life who has helped me come unto Christ, I'm so thrilled to have these two years to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored Gospel.”

-Elder Caden Sheffield

“My eyes were opened to how complex and how many different tools the Lord uses in accomplishing His work, even if it doesn't mean the person joins the Church, but at least comes unto Christ or minds their spirituality a little bit more. Sometimes even strangers will give you words of encouragement when you knock on their door. “

“Many people here have such strong beliefs whether it be in Jesus Christ, or the Islamic faith. Either way, you won't meet one person who doesn't believe in God. I can truly see that Heavenly Father loves all of us, and that he provides for his children. “

“I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to love the people of Alaska and am looking forward to the miracles in the days ahead.”
