LDS Living

Brother Patten was obedient to the call of the Lord—however, within the same year, he was killed in battle and was never able to serve a mission. My teacher asked the class why this could have happened. Why would God call Brother Patten on...

His writing credits include " The Hope of God’s Light ," several of the Book of Mormon videos , and " Suicide Prevention: Choose to Stay ." His most recent video, however, published May 28, 2020, took a direction he wasn’t expecting. “I sat down to write a video script about Mother’s Day for work. When I started writing the script, I had no intention of making it autobiographical, as I’m actually a deeply private person. But soon I was writing in the first person,...
