Fund assists members worldwide receive temple blessings

Since the time he entered the Manila Philippines Temple in July 2001, just before leaving for his mission to Singapore, Riaz Gill of Karachi, Pakistan, knew that he wanted to return to the temple so he could have an eternal family. In 2007, his wife, Farah, was baptized, but funds were tight and they didn’t know when they would be able to make the trip to the temple, more than 3,500 miles (5,700 km) away. With the birth of their son, Ammon Phinehas, in 2009, their desire to be sealed in the temple grew even stronger, and late in 2010, with help from the Church’s General Temple Patron Assistance Fund, their prayers were answered.

Living the gospel effectively counters anti-Mormonism

I am blessed to live in “convert land.” Less than 1 percent of the population of my home state, Alabama, is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Because of the small numbers, my chosen religion exercises little influence over my community’s environment. Approximately 90 percent of the members in my Mormon ward are converts, and a high proportion of those are relatively recent converts.
