"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."
