FHE: Taking the Show on the Road

We had a great Family Home Evening last night. We try and have a great FHE every week, but a lot of them fall short of greatness. (And by “fall short of greatness,” I mean that some of them have the spiritual impact of a spork in the eye.) This week, however, was great, and it was my lovely EC’s idea. I give her full credit.

Where You Can Watch the Jordan River Temple Being Built in 90 Seconds (+ the Miraculous Story Behind It)

By Jannalee Sandau

Kim Burgon recalls the highlight of a family trip to Disneyland in 1959 when he was just 8 years old, and it wasn’t the rides.

That little-known Walt Disney movie would become the inspiration for a video Burgon would make nearly 20 years later of the Jordan River Temple being constructed—a video that is being shown at the Jordan River Temple open house for the first time in several decades. But this impressive, historic film did not come about without its share of miracles, testimony, and work.
