"Before we started down the street to the first home, we stood together and said a prayer. I prayed the Lord would open doors for us that day, so we could teach people the gospel we loved. When I opened my eyes I saw a wonderful vision: I saw before me a large door and frame that covered the entire street we were about to tract. As I pondered the meaning of what I saw, the voice of the Spirit spoke to me and said, "God will open the doors for you this day!" As I continued to look, I saw this large door begin to open before me until it was fully open and the street was no longer blocked. "As...

From the moment Sariah and Lehi’s family arrived in the promised land, their prophets warned that the people would face destruction if they failed to trust in Christ.

The “best two years”—in your companion's body? *** I turned to Sarah, and as I burped Marlene, I asked, “You know Sarah, you’ve never told us the first story.” “What first story?” She asked, shuffling the cards. “The first time you and your companion swapped bodies. In your letter, you said that the statue helped you and your companion work things out.” I nodded. “BFF. Right?” She leaned back in her chair, and looked at Sam. He put his hand on her knee and gently rubbed it. “You tell it.” “Okay.” She set the pile of cards down, and leaned back into her chair.
