It was considered one of the biggest snubs of the Women’s World Cup in 2023. Ashley Hatch has been around the United States Women’s National Team since 2016, and even played in multiple games for the national team in 2023. And yet, when the roster for the Women’s World Cup team was released, Ashley’s name wasn’t on it. The tough thing is that, like many disappointments in life, Ashley doesn’t really have an answer for why it didn’t work out the way she’d hoped. She does, however, recognize that she has the power to choose how she responds to that disappointment.

Jill Geigle has dedicated a great deal of time throughout her life to preparing children and families to face the challenges of a modern world.

In this episode, we'll begin our study of the book of Revelation—scriptures that some consider to be impossible to understand, overwhelming, and confusing. Our guest, Don Parry, says that the goal of studying Revelation is to “better understand God's designs for the future of the world and its inhabitants and prepare themselves better for the days ahead. In doing so, such individuals will find peace and calmness in their lives, because the Lord has promised us, 'If ye are prepared ye shall not fear' (Doctrine and Covenants 38:30).” So, let’s prepare, along with Don Parry, to dive into Revelation 1–5.

Nicole Lologa, is Kiwi-born and proud of her Pacific Island and New Zealand heritage. 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. After a 10 year career in Hairdressing, she has recently graduated from BYU Pathways Worldwide and will continue her online studies through BYU Idaho, towards a bachelor's degree in Communications. 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. Nicole and her husband entered the Brisbane Temple of Australia, for their first time and endowment on the 27th of September 2019. The following morning, on the 28th of September, the Lologa family was sealed for all time and eternity. Nicole declared that it was a completely underrated experience saying, "If someone had told me of how great the 'exceedingly great joy' I would feel while in the temple and how close I would feel to my Saviour and Father in heaven, I would have returned sooner! Everyone in my life has underrated the Temple, it is way better multiplied by infinity!"
