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...

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...

Latter-day Saint Sculptor Shares How He's Helped Thousands See the Beauty in the Rome Italy Visitors' Center
Katie Lambert
- "What do you want to be?" a middle-aged woman asked from behind a desk. Standing at the front of a long line of fellow middle-school students, 14-year-old Bronson Evertsen froze at the question. "I haven't really thought about that yet," Bronson admitted. It wasn't exactly the wrong answer. At least it was truthful. But Bronson's fellow students looked at him in disbelief and the woman, who was there to assign Bronson to the right high school, stared. In Italy, asking a middle-school student to choose a career is mandatory. But before that awkward moment standing in line and having no idea...
