The Light Within Us


In our advocacy and work at Parola Santuwaryo in helping and  protecting families, we sometimes come against the evil plans of the perpetrators and every manipulation of the enemy over our lives. We learn that the only way to fight the darkness around us is to light a fire within us because the greatest battle is against the darkness within. As mortals, it is common for us to constantly consider and pray for physical protection. Recently, however, we have come to more fervently pray for spiritual safety - we pray for continual strength for our family to live true to our covenants. In reality, whether we live a long or a short life on this earth is perhaps relatively of little consequence in the eternities. What really matters is our character, reflected in how we live. The only way for us to fulfill our eternal purpose is to make covenants with the Lord and keep them. As we understand the deeper meaning of the atonement, we can also comprehend clearly that Jesus Christ fulfilled our Heavenly Father’s purposes by redeeming us from spiritual and physical death. He gives us strength to accomplish things that we would not be able to do on our own.

PS: We are keeping a history and valuable record of our thoughts, feelings, our family's manner of life, our faith and works to remind us of God's tender mercies and love to our family. This could also be a blessing to our future generations.

One month and 3 weeks into the Field | Elder Padilla, June 2026 - 2028

Image
This was such a good week, and we got some really good quality pictures! Thank you so much to Brother Kyle and Sister Ara for working with us and taking pictures for us! We had dinner at one of our member's houses last night and it was amazing! They served spicy adobo and it was so yummy! 😋 Super flavorful and just the right amount of spicy. We were completely full and so happy. They were really kind to us, and before we left, they even gave me a big pencil as a gift. It really made my whole day ✏️  There are days when everything feels really low, but I've realized it's often just building up for the best high ever. The whole morning we were getting punted everywhere we went, but we didn't give up ✨️ We just kept going and kept working. Then in the afternoon, everything changed. We started having one meaningful find after another, back-to-back, and it made all the hard work in the morning so worth it. It was such a great reminder that the Lord ...

The Doors Will Soon Be Open | An Invitation to the 2027 Salt Lake Temple Celebration!

Image
It was truly a tender, sacred, answered prayer that just before we turned toward home, the barriers were removed, and we were invited near. For the first time, we were able to walk right up to the Salt Lake Temple to touch the sacred stone walls, to rest our hands upon the holy doors, to stand in the very shadow of the House of the Lord in a way we had not been able to before.    As our hands rested upon the temple doors, we marveled at the exquisite, historic doorknob and lock plate, a masterpiece of craftsmanship and symbolism! Carved into the brass knob are the sacred words: "Holiness to the Lord". The reverent declaration that defines every temple of God. At its center sits the beehive, a symbol of industry, unity, and the faithful labor of the pioneers who built this holy house.  Above it, the dates 1853–1893 are etched deep, marking the forty years of faith, sacrifice, and unwavering devotion that it took to construct ...

More Than Just a Dad | What It Really Takes

Image
Okay, let's get real. Anyone can have kids, right? But being a dad? That's a whole different ballgame. As a mom, I've seen firsthand what it takes to be a great father, and let me tell you, it's so much more than just biology. It's Not Just About the Genes   Making a baby is just the starting point. Being a father starts when you step up and take responsibility.  It's about:   - Being Present : Like, really present. Not just physically, but emotionally too. Putting down the phone, turning off the game, and actually engaging with your kids. It's about being there for the good, the bad, and the messy. - Keeping Them Safe : Making sure they're okay, both in their bodies and in their heads. Teaching them how to navigate the world and protecting them when they can't. It's about being their rock. - Providing the Basics : Food, clothes, a roof over their heads. But also, giving them opportunities to learn and grow. It...

10 Weeks in the Field | Sister Padilla

Image
Maayong adlaw everyone!! 🌅🤗 I hope everyone is doing well and that you’re all being blessed and kept safe by the Lord. I’ve been thinking of you all and praying that each home is filled with His peace and joy. 💞🫶 Seeing His provision, His protection, and even the little everyday kindnesses reminded me again how merciful He is in every season. It truly encouraged my heart and soul to continue the Saviors work with full faith and trust in him.  God has been so good, and here are my ✨️highlights✨️ from the past 2 weeks! . . . . ~💖 Over the past few days the weather has been very unpredictable. We’ve experienced heavy rains, intense heat, and strong storms. Then, to our surprise, we saw a whirlwind form right over the ocean near the beach- It looked like a small waterspout 🌬🌪. It was a sobering reminder of God’s power and presence. In the middle of a noisy and restless world, I was reminded that our God is steady and He invites us to find peace in Hi...

United States Meridian Base | Temple Square’s Historic Marker

Image
  This stone monument marks the U.S. Meridian Base of 1869, the official starting point for the Salt Lake Meridian, the survey reference line that defines the addressing system for the entire state of Utah!  It sits on Temple Square grounds, just north of the Salt Lake Temple, precisely at 40°46′13″ N, 111°54′00″ W. Every street, property line, and land survey in Utah traces back to this exact spot.   Its Story   - The Survey Begins (1869) : The U.S. Coast Survey established this marker to define the principal meridian and base line for the Utah Territory. It was placed here because Temple Square was already the geographic and cultural center of the city, and the temple site was the most accurately surveyed location in the region. ​ - How It Works : All east–west addresses in Salt Lake City are measured from Main Street (the meridian line), and all north–south addresses are measured from South Temple Street (the base line) — with this marker a...

He Carried It All For Us

Image
Standing before this sign, reading these words in the quiet of the garden, our hearts felt full. It is the most sacred, tender truth in all the world: Jesus Christ carried the cross for you. For me. For all of us .   Innocent, Yet Willing   Though He was found without fault, though He had done nothing wrong, the crowd cried out. And He did not fight back. He did not complain. He simply took up His cross and walked forward.   He carried it weary, bruised, and bleeding, step by heavy step. And as He walked, people followed and wept. They saw what the world often misses: the innocent One suffering for the guilty; the pure One bearing the stain of us all. He did it because He loves us. He did it because He chose to.   " Father, Forgive Them"   Even as they nailed Him there, His first thought was not of pain. It was of mercy. "Father, forgive them," He said. He asked forgiveness for the very ones who hurt Him. That is the love that holds ...

The Eagle Gate | Strength, Vision, & Pioneer Heritage

Image
Standing proudly at the intersection of State Street and South Temple, right beside Temple Square, is one of Salt Lake City’s most iconic landmarks, the Eagle Gate Monument.    A Gate with a Story   The original gate was built all the way back in 1859, serving as the entrance to Brigham Young’s property and quickly becoming a beloved symbol of the growing pioneer settlement. What began as a simple wooden arch has been rebuilt and expanded over the decades, yet it has never lost its connection to the area’s faithful, hard‑working pioneers.    Symbols of Strength & Industry   Today’s monument features a magnificent bronze eagle with wings spread wide, perched above a beehive, two powerful symbols in one:   - The Eagle → represents strength, vision, and rising above just as the pioneers rose to build a city in the desert. ​ - The Beehive → the enduring symbol of industry, cooperation, and community, a reminder that we build bes...

Participating in the Work of Salvation and Exaltation

Image
The Philippines Area Special Devotional yesterday with President Steven J. Lund, Sister Rebecca Craven, President Taniela Wakolo, and President Steven R. Bangerter was another experience reminding us that the Spirit can be felt over technology. We went home with a greater faith and determination to help lay a foundation of this GREAT WORK. After our sacrament service at home, we discussed as a family ways we can incorporate this gathering of Israel in our everyday life.  In the afternoon, our elder children, Cerah and Ammon were excited to go out with us to assist in God's work. They learned that as they enlist themselves in the youth batallion, they also participate in the work of Salvation and Exaltation by  LIVING according to the teachings of Jesus Christ CARING for others in need INVITING all to receive the gospel UNITING families for eternity Despite this global pandemic, viewing this period as an exciting time and participating and living in the prophecy tha...

Rise Up and Speak | The Legacy of Eliza R. Snow

Image
There are moments when history feels less like something we read and more like something we meet. Standing before the exhibition sign at the Church History Library and then holding the book in my hands, I felt exactly that Eliza R. Snow is not just a name from the past. She is a voice, a witness, and an example that still speaks to us today.  What a precious gift this new volume is: Rise Up and Speak : Selected Discourses of Eliza R. Snow . For so long, we have known her as the beloved second General President of the Relief Society, as the poet whose words shaped our hymns, and as a woman of quiet, unshakable strength. Now, in these pages, we hear her own voice, her sermons, her teachings, and her heart, shared directly with us.   "Rise up and speak ". These words are not just a title. They are her invitation to every woman, in every generation: stand , testify , lift your voice, and let your light shine .   Who She Was And What She G...
