• 31. Firm Foundation: Building on Christ, the Rock, to Overcome Life’s Storms with Michele Reyes

  Send me a message! Helaman 5:12 has helped Michele come to know important truths, especially as she faced one of her hardest trials, the loss of her arm in a car accident. She didn't know how life was going to be and if she'd be able to handle many things, including raising kids. But, as she stayed on the covenant path, relying on Christ as her foundation, she found the strength to persevere and overcome her fears. She now knows that through Christ, all things are possible. Her love for the gospel and her trust in the Lord have shaped every part of her life, from her time as a missionary in Spokane, Washington, to her role today as a Gospel Doctrine teacher and mother of seven. Michelle’s life is a testament to the power of building on the Rock of our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Not only has He helped overcome trials but also find joy, purpose, and a deeper testimony through them.My closing remarks I talk about the Provo Tabernacle and its incredible transformation into a beautiful temple! I compared it to how similar it is when we anchor our lives to Jesus Christ through covenants, we become spiritually unshakable, able to withstand life's trials just as Helaman 5:12 teaches.

• 30. Called to Serve: Missionary Service Blesses Lives with Harvey Kim

  Send me a message! Alma 17 and the amazing story of the sons of Mosiah has been a strength to Harvey in his life! When Harvey was 17 he decided to not serve a mission and later enlisted in the Air Force, but five years later, he felt the Lord calling him to serve a mission. He served 2 years on the Navajo Reservation, where his mission became a life-changing experience. Despite challenges like learning the language, he gained a powerful testimony of submitting to God’s will, just like the sons of Mosiah. That lesson gave him the confidence to return to college, meet his wife, pursue a challenging career, and raise a wonderful family. Through faith and obedience, Harvey has seen the Lord shape his life in ways he never expected. I hope you enjoy hearing his inspiring testimony of Jesus Christ and the Book of Mormon!My end thoughts I share how I've prayed for my boys since they were little to grow closer to the Lord, serve missions, and become the men He needs them to be. Parenting is both challenging and rewarding, but I have found peace in knowing that through Christ’s Atonement, He makes up the difference, strengthens us in our trials, and leads us to lasting joy.

• 29. Sharing the Light of Christ with Terry Goedel

  Send me a message! 3 Nephi 11 and the rest of 3 Nephi holds deep significance for Terry, as it connects his Native American heritage with his faith in Jesus Christ. It has taught him how important it is to keep his light, the light of Christ, shining and share it with others. He’s a World Champion Native American Hoop Dancer and has shared his talent around the world for over 50 years. He has come to find that this is one of the ways he shares his light. He has a great love for his Savior and is grateful he can share his testimony and his culture with his family, friends, and others around the world. His mission is to help others discover and embrace the light within themselves.My end remarks I share about an experience I had in the temple learning about the Terry’s book, “Circle of Light” on Amazon.https://youtu.be/6KXRlu1ukqg?si=1M5XVO70t6X0YM93President Nelson’s April 2024 General Conference talk, “Rejoice in the Gift of Priesthood Keys.”

• 28. Unwavering Faith in Christ with Pricilla Sy

  Send me a message! Enos 1:15 & Ether 12:27 are scriptures that have touched Pricilla's heart and have also helped her have unwavering faith in Jesus Christ. Priscilla, a such a kind and inspiring woman. After joining the Church in 1964, she embraced her testimony through small yet consistent acts of faith, including raising her children in the gospel and trusting in God’s plan. One of her most profound experiences came when her daughter’s unwavering prayers led her non-member husband to join the Church, allowing their family to be sealed in the temple. Despite the loss of her husband and two children, Priscilla finds peace in the promise of eternal families, knowing that by staying faithful to the Lord, she will one day be reunited with them.Doctrine and Covenants | Jan 20-26 | Section 2; JS—H 1:27-65 | Come Follow Up on BYUtvGlobal Histories

• 27. By the Power of the Holy Ghost with Lucy Herrera

  Send me a message! Moroni 10:4-5 is scripture that changed Lucy's life. This scripture perfectly reflects her strong and unwavering faith in Jesus Christ. Growing up in Gallup, New Mexico, on the Navajo Reservation's checkerboard area, Lucy learned traditional teachings from her father and mother, who were both a medicine man and medicine woman,  about plants, songs, and their cultural heritage. She grew up with a deep connection to her Navajo roots, but when she was 8 years old her life took a transformative turn as she went on the Indian Student Placement Program through The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As she learned, her faith brought her profound spiritual strength, which was solidified at age 14 when she read the Book of Mormon daily and felt the Spirit testify to her of its truth. From her childhood herding sheep and learning gratitude for the Creator’s provisions, to her time as a missionary in Honduras and a 30-year career as a combat medic in the Army, Lucy’s life has been a testament to her commitment to God, her Navajo heritage, and her love for others. Today, she continues to honor her heritage and faith in Jesus Christ. My end remarks I talk about how Lucy truly embodies Hózhó (beauty, harmony, balance, and peace) and "Walks in Beauty" everyday. I explain how I think this traditional Diné teaching parallels walking the gospel path of Jesus Christ. Both require dedication, integrity, faith, and a connection with the Creator to navigate challenges and find joy and reflect His light and spread beauty and goodness to the world around us.Traditional Navajo Teachings "Walking in Beauty": https://youtu.be/8tZHIER3Jb4Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health "Walk in Beauty": https://youtu.be/DKxGuUrp9M8
