6 Ways to Improve Your Temple Experience
Arianna Rees
- This article recently appeared in the September/October 2018 issue of LDS Living magazine . A few weeks ago, I had a very mediocre temple visit. I was stressed about all of the things on my to-do list and had a nasty headache. Needless to say, by the time I went inside, I felt frazzled. I drummed my fingers impatiently on my armrest, and when the session ended, I zipped out as fast as I could. It wasn’t until I was in my car driving home that the remorse set in, and I realized I had spiritually wasted my trip. I’ve tried...

It is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire.” (Elder Orson F. Whitney, quoted by President Spencer W.

How to Accept the Change When a Parent Remarries
Kelsey Berteaux
- More than 50 million remarried people currently live in the United States alone. Two of those people are my parents. In just over 14 months, they went from a couple of 25 years to divorcés to members of new blended families. I and my four adult siblings quite suddenly found ourselves with a stepfather, a stepmother, and five new stepsiblings. And for a long time, I wasn’t really sure where I fit. Feelings like mine, of loss and confusion, are common for adult children of remarrying parents, as are feelings of guilt and frustration from the remarrying parents. And for Latter-day...

Instant Family of 8: How God Answered the Prayers of a Foster Child and Childless Couple
Ashli Kristine Hansen
- All Brittany wanted was someone to fight for her and her five siblings. All childless couple Alo and Ashley Moli wanted was a big family. Along the way, the soon-to-be-family of eight discovered that not only did God have a plan for them but that His timing was nothing short of perfect. “I was just praying that He would hear my cries and He would listen.” Brittany lived with her biological parents for the first 16 years of her life. She was the caregiver for her five siblings—Michael, Nick, Brianna, J.T., and Ty—from the time she was 12 years old. The teen...
How an Atheist Came Back to the Church and Found Peace Despite Doubt
Leo Winegar
- Developing Doubt “I know that the Church is true, that Joseph Smith is a prophet, and that the Book of Mormon is the word of God.” For over 25 years, I had spoken those sacred words thousands of times. Yet somehow, I found myself sitting in my stake president’s office, feeling lost and in despair, questioning everything I had previously “known” to be true. My stake president was an intelligent and honest man, but as I sought his counsel regarding various Church history questions, I quickly realized that he wasn’t much of a historian. In other words, instead of answering my...

Danielle B. Wagner
- On Sunday, January 20, 2019, the world witnessed a rare event as the sun, moon, and earth all aligned to create a spectacular blood moon, known also as a lunar eclipse. But what made this event even more unique was that this eclipse was also a wolf and supermoon, making this celestial event a rare super blood wolf moon. A wolf moon, or the first full moon of the year, gets its name for the wolf packs Native Americans would hear outside their villages in winter, according to The Farmers' Almanac. A supermoon occurs when the moon is at the closest...
