Elder Alvin F. Meredith III Visits Canada: Inspiring Youth and Sharing BYU-Idaho's Vision

Today, my children and I attended a BYU-hosted Educational Evening. This significant event brought together Canadian youth and their families interested in higher education. Elder Alvin F. Meredith III, President of Brigham Young University–Idaho (BYU-Idaho), and other university representatives made a special visit to Canada.

 
The evening highlighted BYU-Idaho as a post-secondary option, emphasizing its unique academic programs, strong faith-based foundation, and supportive learning environment designed to foster both academic and spiritual growth.
 
This multi-stake fireside was more than just an informational meeting; it was an inspiring event that left a lasting impression on all who attended, igniting a passion for learning and planting seeds of hope for the future. For many young people, including our children, it may have been the spark that ignited their dreams of a BYU-Idaho education.

President Meredith's message emphasized the importance of discipleship and leadership, highlighting BYU-Idaho's focus on cultivating "disciple leaders." He shared a personal anecdote about learning to drive from his father, illustrating the principle of looking ahead and planning for the future. This "looking down the road," he explained, involves thoughtful planning and making conscious decisions aligned with our values and aspirations. By choosing a path that leads to a future we can be proud of, and by putting the Savior first, good things will follow.

Stop Counting the Minutes, Start Cherishing the Moments: A Parent's Guide

Image
We've all been there – juggling work, household chores, social commitments, and the ever-present demands of modern life. In the midst of this chaos, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of time our children seem to require. "I just need a break!" we sometimes think, or even say. But what if the very thing we perceive as a burden is actually the greatest gift we'll ever receive?   I recently came across a quote that struck me to my core: " You will never look back on life and think, 'I've spent too much time with my kids.'" Let that sink in for a moment.   The Days Are Long, But the Years Are Short   It's a cliché because it's true. The days with young children can feel incredibly long. The constant needs, the endless questions, the sheer exhaustion – it can all feel like a never-ending marathon. But as any parent of older children will tell you, those years fly by in the blink of an eye. One minute you're...

Sacred Dwellings | The Sanctity of our Homes and the Role of Temples

Image
Having recently moved to a new neighborhood and community closer to the Urdaneta Temple, we started the week on a positive note with a morning devotional. As a family, we studied Elder Gary E. Stevenson's conference talk years ago, entitled " Sacred Homes, Sacred Temples ." In his address, he emphasizes the importance of creating sacred spaces within our homes and the significance of temples in our lives. From his message, we can derive valuable lessons on the sanctity of our homes and the role of temples in our spiritual journey. Lesson 1: Creating Sacred Spaces   Our homes can be sacred spaces where we invite the Spirit and nurture our relationships together.    Just as temples are dedicated to the Lord and are places of worship and revelation, our homes can also be sanctuaries where we invite the Spirit to dwell. By creating an environment of love, respect, and harmony within our homes, we can make them sacred spaces where we feel the presence of God and s...

Preparing our Children for their First Temple Experience

Image
It's a special milestone for our family that our youngest daughter, Czerinah Ellah is turning 12 this year and becomes eligible to participate in temple ordinances with her limited-use temple recommend and participate in certain sacred ordinances within the temple. Having her able to participate alongside the rest of our family is a joyous occasion. We are thrilled for this opportunity to support one another in these sacred experiences. We are glad that she will no longer need to wait for us to finish our temple sessions and can now make important covenants and receive blessings that can strengthen her faith and deepen her relationship with our Heavenly Father.    As Czerinah Ellah prepares for this significant step, we believe it's important to help her understand the sacredness and significance of the temple ordinances. We encourage her to study and learn about the principles and teachings of the gospel, and guide her in developing a strong foundation of faith. P...

An Imperfect Family's Example of Faith

Image
In our family devotional and scripture study from The Book of Mormon this Monday morning, we talked about the family of Lehi, a real family who lived way back 600 BC who also went through the ups and downs of life and there's a lot about their experiences that we can relate to today. This family lived in a world full of wickedness. But the Lord promised them that if they would follow Him, He would lead them to safety. It wasn't easy for them. They had some seriously rough times, but they also had their fair share of blessings and miracles along the way. It wasn't all rainbows and butterflies for this family. They had their fair share of arguments and fights. And get this, it's captured in such detail in the scriptures! We're talking about parents trying their best to inspire faith in their kids while worrying about their safety. Then you have these kids who have to decide for themselves if they're going to believe their parents or not. And don't...

Drawing Closer to the House of the Lord

Image
  In the ever-expanding landscape of temples around the world, the message is clear: temple blessings are not just reserved for a select few, but are meant to be accessible to all who seek them. As the Lord, through His living prophet, continues to bring more houses of the Lord closer in more places, the opportunity to partake of temple blessings becomes increasingly available to everyone.    Temple blessings are not merely symbolic in nature; they hold profound significance in our eternity. Through sacred ordinances and covenants made in the temple, we establish a direct connection to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. These ordinances provide us with an eternal perspective on mortality, reminding us of our divine heritage and purpose on this earth. One of the most beautiful aspects of temple worship is the opportunity to perform sacred ordinances on behalf of our ancestors. As we participate in this sacred work, we follow the pattern of savior...

Celebrating Dad

Father's Day is a special occasion dedicated to honoring and celebrating the remarkable men in our lives who have played the role of a father figure. They make countless sacrifices that deserve recognition and appreciation.   Fatherhood is a role that comes with immense responsibility and significance. They are not just providers and protectors; they are also mentors, role models, and sources of unconditional love. They play a crucial role in shaping the lives of their children and imparting valuable life lessons that last a lifetime.   Every dad is unique, with their own set of qualities that make them special.  We want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude and appreciation to Anatolin, the patriarch of our home. His unwavering love, guidance, and support have been a constant source of strength and inspiration in our family. We are truly blessed to have a dad like him who always puts family first, who works tire...

Here's how our family is getting ready for this important occasion:   Getting Closer to God We pray together as a family to ask for help, peace, and togetherness as we prepare for the temple dedication.
