Naomi Fujii joins me to share her testimony through the words of Mosiah 2:9, a verse that reminds us to open our hearts and minds to the word of God with humility and faith. She connects this verse to the temple, a place that has brought her strength, peace, and closeness to the Savior. Especially during difficult times. Naomi also shares Alma 26:16, expressing her joy and gratitude for the Savior’s hand in her life. She grew up in a loving home with wonderful parents who taught her about Jesus Christ and His gospel. Soon she will begin her mission in the Spain Madrid North Mission, and her bright spirit, deepened testimony, and love for Jesus Christ will surely bless all she meets.

My closing thoughts I share insights from Come, Follow Me about receiving “grace for grace” in Doctrine and Covenants 93, and how Amulek’s story in Alma 10 taught me more about growing step by step through repentance, obedience, and the sacrament.

In this episode, Kalani shares how Alma 38:1–5 came to him at a crucial moment in the MTC, giving him an instant testimony that the Book of Mormon is true and that Heavenly Father knew, heard, and was guiding him. From his upbringing in Hawaii to serving in the Philippines Bacolod Mission, and now as a husband and father, Kalani reflects on how small choices, steady faith, and the Lord’s quiet guidance have helped him build a family anchored in Jesus Christ.

In closing, I talk about how we can stand in holy places, physically and spiritually, by studying the Book of Mormon daily, spending time in the temple, and being a witness of Jesus Christ. I know the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ and it will draw you closer to Him and help you feel the power of His Atonement.

In this episode, Terava opens up about how her testimony of the Book of Mormon grew gradually. Through quiet witness, meaningful moments, and touchstone scriptures she learned in seminary and in her young adult life. One verse in particular, 2 Nephi 29:7, helped her feel seen and remembered by God as someone from the Pacific Islands.

Her testimony, like a black pearl, didn’t appear overnight. It formed layer by layer into something rare, strong, and beautiful.

Terava is a devoted wife, mother of five, and disciple of Jesus Christ whose testimony has been shaped through deep trials and powerful faith. As she reflects on Ether 2 and 6, she relates to the Jaredites’ storm-filled journey as they were tossed by waves, shut in tight spaces, and utterly dependent on the Lord. In one of her hardest trials, she learned to trust that the very winds and waves meant to toss her were also carrying her closer to Christ and the life He had prepared for her. Raised in Hawai‘i Kai and now living on O‘ahu’s North Shore, Terava’s life is rooted in covenant living, temple service, and a love for her family, students, and the Savior. She’s a beautiful soul with a powerful testimony, and her story is one of hope, resilience, and faith refined through fire.

Mosiah 29:20 teaches that the Lord is mindful of His people and will deliver them when they turn to Him. Spencer Crane’s story is a powerful example of that promise. Spencer was raised in the Church, but during high school, he drifted away from the gospel. After graduating, he joined the Army, which brought many challenges. During a visit from his family, a priesthood blessing from his dad changed everything and made him want to turn his life around.

It wasn’t an instant change, but through small efforts, like reading a few verses of the Book of Mormon each day and praying, Spencer began to rebuild his faith and he came to know Jesus Christ as a personal Savior and true Friend. He’s now preparing to serve a full-time mission. His story shows that even through setbacks and hard times, the Lord can build something beautiful one step, one verse, and one prayer at a time.

Closing remarks I talk about how my family and I went to hear Spencer give a talk and how he powerfully bore testimony that The Book of Mormon has the power to change us. Because it leads us to Jesus Christ, who heals, strengthens, and transforms every part of our lives.

Mosiah 14:4–5 teaches that Christ bore our griefs and carried our sorrows, and Alma 17:11 reminds us that the Lord can make us instruments in His hands to share His hope. Macy Arner shares how both of these truths shaped her as a missionary in Japan. As a resilient military kid who moved 14 times, Macy found strength in the gospel—especially during her high school years through seminary and the Book of Mormon. Her story is a reminder that as we seek the Lord, especially in times of change, He heals us, guides us, and helps us become who He needs us to be.

My end thoughts give a shout out to all the amazing military kids this April! The combination of military life and being rooted in the gospel of Jesus Christ has helped Macy and my own kids grow in faith, strength, and confidence no matter where life takes them.

Helaman 5:12 has helped Michele come to know important truths, especially as she faced one of her hardest trials, the loss of her arm in a car accident. She didn't know how life was going to be and if she'd be able to handle many things, including raising kids. But, as she stayed on the covenant path, relying on Christ as her foundation, she found the strength to persevere and overcome her fears. She now knows that through Christ, all things are possible. Her love for the gospel and her trust in the Lord have shaped every part of her life, from her time as a missionary in Spokane, Washington, to her role today as a Gospel Doctrine teacher and mother of seven. Michelle’s life is a testament to the power of building on the Rock of our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Not only has He helped her overcome trials but also find joy, purpose, and a deeper testimony through them.

My closing remarks I talk about the Provo Tabernacle and its incredible transformation into a beautiful temple! I compared it to how similar it is when we anchor our lives to Jesus Christ through covenants, we become spiritually unshakable, able to withstand life's trials just as Helaman 5:12 teaches.

Alma 17 and the amazing story of the sons of Mosiah has been a strength to Harvey in his life! When Harvey was 17 he decided to not serve a mission and later enlisted in the Air Force, but five years later, he felt the Lord calling him to serve a mission. He served 2 years on the Navajo Reservation, where his mission became a life-changing experience. Despite challenges like learning the language, he gained a powerful testimony of submitting to God’s will, just like the sons of Mosiah. That lesson gave him the confidence to return to college, meet his wife, pursue a challenging career, and raise a wonderful family. Through faith and obedience, Harvey has seen the Lord shape his life in ways he never expected. I hope you enjoy hearing his inspiring testimony of Jesus Christ and the Book of Mormon!

My end thoughts I share how I've prayed for my boys since they were little to grow closer to the Lord, serve missions, and become the men He needs them to be. Parenting is both challenging and rewarding, but I have found peace in knowing that through Christ’s Atonement, He makes up the difference, strengthens us in our trials, and leads us to lasting joy.

3 Nephi 11 and the rest of 3 Nephi holds deep significance for Terry, as it connects his Native American heritage with his faith in Jesus Christ. It has taught him how important it is to keep his light, the light of Christ, shining and share it with others. He’s a World Champion Native American Hoop Dancer and has shared his talent around the world for over 50 years. He has come to find that this is one of the ways he shares his light. He has a great love for his Savior and is grateful he can share his testimony and his culture with his family, friends, and others around the world. His mission is to help others discover and embrace the light within themselves.

My end remarks I share about an experience I had in the temple learning about the 

Terry’s book, “Circle of Light” on Amazon.

Enos 1:15 & Ether 12:27 are scriptures that have touched Pricilla's heart and have also helped her have unwavering faith in Jesus Christ. Priscilla, a such a kind and inspiring woman. After joining the Church in 1964, she embraced her testimony through small yet consistent acts of faith, including raising her children in the gospel and trusting in God’s plan. One of her most profound experiences came when her daughter’s unwavering prayers led her non-member husband to join the Church, allowing their family to be sealed in the temple. Despite the loss of her husband and two children, Priscilla finds peace in the promise of eternal families, knowing that by staying faithful to the Lord, she will one day be reunited with them.
