"We didn't get that miracle that we really desperately pleaded for, but I feel like I have a stronger testimony of miracles than I ever have, even though it wasn't the one that I wanted. I don't know the answers of why she didn't get to live the rest of her life and why she isn't here with us and why am I still here? It's like such a strange, backward feeling that you have a child that's no longer here and then I feel like she is--this is still her story, because she's impacting people as well and she's still a part of it. It's still her story. And so that really motivates me to share the gospel and to share our experience."

 "I come out of this with a sense of humor, and also some toxic skills. If there's anybody out there who kind of identifies here, these skills served you when you were young. So we don't want to shame those. Like, why am I this way? Why do I respond this way? Through the therapy I've been through, I would say you have to thank that part of you. For enabling you to survive. Because without my anger, I wouldn't have survived without the ability to fight. I think self-compassion is usually the answer for sustaining long-term change where you say, you know what, thank you for that."

"And I think that's why it took me 20 years to come back to the church is because it was never enough. Fear was not enough to get me to come back to the church. Shame was not enough to get me to come back to the church. Honestly, it was love, like, love brought me back to the church. So, you know, I've got too much proof. I'm still in the culinary world, there's still temptation, still surrounded by all the same stuff. But I pray every night. I do all the things right? I read my scriptures. I go to church. I take the sacrament. Those things that we teach the little kids in Primary, do it. That stuff's real."

 "I'm just so grateful for the atonement. I don't know where I would be if I wasn't able to start new and have the love of the Savior. And I know that everyone has it. Everyone has the light of Christ in them, and it's a minute at a time to an hour at a time to a day at a time. And if you don't get those answers that you're looking for, just keep hanging on, keep holding on. Find someone that you can trust."

"If there are some of you who have been tricked into the conviction that you have gone too far, that you have had the poison of sin, which makes it impossible ever again to be what you could have been then hear me - I bear testimony that you cannot sink further than the light and sweeping intelligence of Jesus Christ. I bear testimony that as long as there is one spark of the will to repent and to reach, He is there. He did not just descend to your condition. He descended below it that He might be in all and through all things, the Light of Truth."

"I have the fortunate experience of having seen so many critical questions answered that I just have faith that there's going to be an answer somewhere for most of it. But really for me, it also comes down to the Book of Mormon. Because I believe the Book of Mormon is the word of God. I have a witness of that. I feel that there is evidence of that, not proof, but strong evidences that indicate that it is true. There's testimony from witnesses, and the criticisms against it that I've looked at have been weak. And so when I come across a new question that I don't know the answer for, I always rely on- I know the Book of Mormon's true, so the church is true- even though I don't know the answer to this question. And there are some questions that don't have good answers for them. We just don't have the information."
