President Eyring to dedicate the Lindon Utah Temple this Sunday Church announced President Henry B. Eyring of the First Presidency will dedicate the Lindon Utah Temple — 7th house of the Lord in Utah County, 25th in the state.

To those who doubt: Justin and Kenna Valdez moved away from family so they could more easily walk away from their faith. But their eight-year-old son still wanted to be baptized.

Sensing a door opening, a wise stake president scheduled us for a ministering visit to their home. Kenna eventually confided that she still had faith in the Savior, and even a testimony of the Book of Mormon, but faced a few triggering issues that held her back.

We promised them that as they anchored on the things they believed, the Lord would help with the things they didn’t. Overcoming their concerns was not an issue of resolving every faith question but of helping them recognize the Holy Ghost.

As President Dallin H. Oaks recently taught, “You live in a season where the adversary has become so effective at disguising truth that if you don’t have the Holy Ghost, you will be deceived.” 🤍

Justin and Kenna began to make the changes necessary to come back to church. Six months after our visit, Kenna texted me: “Hi Elder Gilbert! We are ready to be sealed as a family.” 🥹

This is a photo from the day they were sealed at the temple.

Softly and tenderly, Jesus is calling all of us home.

Elder Bednar joins Latter-day Saint women to teach what it means to ‘rise up’ Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and his wife, Sister Susan Bednar, closed the 2026 BYU Women’s Conference with invitations to “rise up” as “women of light.”

"The exercise of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is always subject to the order of heaven, to the goodness and will and wisdom and timing of the Lord. That is why we cannot have true faith in the Lord without also having complete trust in the Lord’s will and in the Lord’s timing."
Dallin H. Oaks
