As civil unrest continues in Venezuela, thousands of refugees are packing up all their belongings and supplies with them across the border of Colombia in search of medicine, food, and safety. Some of these individuals are in search of a new home and others search for supplies to carry back to their families in Venezuela. To greet them at the border were volunteers with food boxes in hand. Witnessing this event, Sister Aburto of the Relief Society general presidency said she was reminded of the scripture in Mathew 25:25, which says, “For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in.”

She and her darling husband of 14 years are current reside in Brisbane, Australia, raising their three beautiful children. Nicole enjoys studying self-development, going to the gym, and spending time with her family.

Nicole spent several years being in and out of activity in the gospel but returned back to Church with her family in 2018. Nicole believes it was the prayers and faith of her children that enabled those miraculous blessings.

Everyone in my life has underrated the Temple, it is way better multiplied by infinity!"

As Satan grows in power, and as the Lord prepares to punish the wicked “without measure,” the only place of safety for the Saints is in the stakes of Zion.

Six years ago, Marilee Killpack gave birth to a baby boy. That baby boy was diagnosed with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, a life-threatening genetic syndrome that affects just one in 250,000 children and is only symptomatic in boys.
