Everything’s Coming Up Rozsas

During a junior high game in Boston, a visiting player told his coach he saw two identical opponents, only to soon insist there were three. The coach initially dismissed him, but the opponents were identical triplets. The visitors realized they were facing Dan, Dave, and Doug Rozsa, all on the same team.
The scene was familiar enoughβ€”just another junior high school basketball game, this one in Boston, Massachusetts. But something unusual was happening. Spectators who listened carefully overheard one of the visiting players complaining early in the game, β€œHey, coach, there are two guys out there who look just alike. I can’t keep track of them.”
β€œNonsense,” replied the coach. β€œThe one guy is probable just too fast for you. Now get out there and hustle.”
Moments later the same player, this time looking really alarmed, reported, β€œCoach, there are three guys out there who look just alike!”
A quick glance at the home team would have shown he was right. The unsuspecting visitors had just come across Dan, Dave, and Doug Rozsa, identical triplets playing on the same team.

Kirtland and the First Temple

Following the Lord’s direction to Joseph Smith, Saints in Kirtland labored to build the first latter-day temple. Even children helped, including a boy named Asa who hauled stone with oxen. When the temple was completed, about 1,000 people attended the dedication, and some witnessed and heard angels. The first latter-day temple stood finished.
Kirtland, Ohio, was a busy place. In 1832 the Lord had told Joseph Smith to build the first temple in modern times, and now everyone had a job to do. Men dug trenches and built walls. Children helped their mothers at home and carried lunch to the workers. A 10-year-old boy named Asa drove a team of oxen that pulled a wagon filled with big stones from the quarry to the temple site.
When the temple was finally finished, 1,000 people came to hear the Prophet Joseph Smith dedicate it. Some people saw angels and heard them singing. The first temple in the latter days was complete!

Caring: A Global Initiative to Improve the Well-Being of Women and Children

In Guadalajara, Sister Pulido noticed the needs of families traveling for hospital treatments. She organized 120 Relief Society sisters, missionaries, and community members to gather donations, feeding and assisting many people. Her service was motivated by her own experience waiting while her husband received cancer treatment.
While in Guadalajara, Mexico, Sister Yee learned about and saw so many incredible examples of sisters acting according to those sympathies as they sought to meet a local need.

One such sister was Sister Pulido, who saw a need at a local hospital to help families and individuals who came from far away and needed food and clothing while they waited for treatment. She gathered 120 Relief Society sisters, several missionaries, and others in the community to find donations of food, water, blankets, and clothing. About 1,500 people donated goods, and the sisters and others prepared lunches and food for nearly 1,200 people. The goods were given to those who were waiting their turn for treatment at the hospital.

This sister said she was doing this because she had compassion for these people. With tears in her eyes, she humbly explained that she had been one of those individuals waiting in the hospital as her husband came and went for cancer treatment. She said her greatest blessing and desire is to minister as the Savior would.

β€œI constantly compare myself to others, especially those who seem to have perfect lives. How do I feel more confident?”

A young adult quotes Elder J. Devn Cornish’s counsel about seeking God’s view of us. When she feels she will never be as good as others, she turns to Heavenly Father and remembers she is His daughter, trusting that He will help her reach her potential if she seeks Him.
In his October 2016 conference address β€œAm I Good Enough? Will I Make It?” Elder J. Devn Cornish of the Seventy says, β€œThe only opinion of us that matters is what our Heavenly Father thinks of us. Please sincerely ask Him what He thinks of you. He will love and correct but never discourage us.” When I think I will never be as good as the people around me, I turn to my Heavenly Father and try to remember that I am the daughter of a loving God who is willing to help me reach my full potential and be who He knows I can be if I seek Him.

Me? Relief Society President?

After Macie recommended a sister for a calling, the sister approached her in tears. The sister had been praying to get involved, and the calling was exactly what she needed. Macie felt grateful to be an instrument as the Lord answered this woman’s prayer.
Through her prayers, Macie has been able to touch the life of at least one girl through inspiration. β€œOne of the girls I had recommended for a calling came up to me and was in tears. She told me that she had been praying for something and felt like she needed to get involved. This calling was what she needed. I know the Lord was the one who called her, but it made me feel good that I could help her out.”

Tomato-and-Carrot Dinner

In 1923, a hungry family had only three dollars, which the father insisted was tithing owed to the Lord. Despite the son's protests, they paid the bishop and declined immediate help beyond a future loaf of bread. On their way home, they unexpectedly met a man who repaid a long-owed ten dollars, allowing them to buy food. The son learned that trusting God and paying tithing brings blessings.
It was the last of February in 1923, and the wintry wind rustled the curtains as it forced itself through a crack in my frozen window sill. Poking my head out from under the heavy feather tick quilt, I watched my breath turn into a misty, cold fog.
Last night we had finished the last of the potatoes, and Mom had told us that there wasn’t any more flour to make bread and that we’d have no more to eat until noon today. All we had left in our food storage were carrots and bottled tomatoes, so I knew it was going to be a long day.
I heard muffled voices. That meant that Mom and Dad were up and that a fire would be going in the kitchen stove. That’s the only room we could afford to heat this winter. At least I could get warm. I shivered once, pushed the heavy quilt aside, jumped into my clothes, and made a dash for the stairs. It took no more than a few seconds to reach the warm kitchen, but I was shaking from the cold before I got there.
β€œWell, good morning, sleepyhead. It’s already ten o’clock,” Mom greeted me, smiling. She always smiled, even when things weren’t going well. This had been one of those not-going-well winters. Dad had only been able to work a month since last November, and he’d earned only thirty dollars all winter.
My three brothers and two sisters were already nestled around the small potbellied stove. I was so cold that I wanted to hug the stove, but I settled for huddling near it and holding my hands out to its warmth. Mom and Dad were sitting across from each other at the wooden table, talking quietly.
β€œNo, we’re going to pay it,” I heard Dad say in a low voice. β€œIt’s not ours, and it isn’t right that we use it.”
β€œBut, Ray, the children,” Mom said pleadingly.
β€œThe Lord will provide, Sarah,” Dad said reassuringly. β€œWe have to trust Him.”
I stood and looked over Dad’s shoulder. On the table were three dollarsβ€”enough to buy flour, potatoes, and even a little meat!
β€œWow!” I blurted out. β€œWith all that money we can eat again! We won’t have to eat those crummy canned tomatoes today.”
That was a mistake.
β€œSon, that’s tithing money,” Dad said. β€œIt’s not ours; it’s the Lord’s. I planned to give it to the bishop long ago, but it slipped into the lining of my jacket, and I didn’t find it until this morning. I’ve been worrying about how to replace it, but now I can take it to the bishop today.”
β€œBut, Dad!” I protested.
That was a mistake too. I got the lecture of my life on tithing. I’d heard it all before, but I got the whole sermon about how the Lord requires a tenth of our earnings, how it’s not really ours, and how if we pay the Lord first, He’ll provide for us. But my stomach just wouldn’t let me forget what that three dollars could buy and how that food would taste. I tried to reason with my father: β€œThe Lord loves us doesn’t He, Dad?”
β€œYes.”
β€œHe doesn’t want us to starve to death, does He?”
Dad didn’t respond, so I gathered courage and continued. β€œWouldn’t He understand if we used the tithing money this time? We could pay it back when you get more work.”
Dad looked at me for what seemed like hours. Finally he said, β€œSon, the Lord will provide. Three dollars won’t buy very much food, but it will provide a lot of blessings.” That was it. No more arguments. The tithing would be paid.
There were a few silent minutes before Dad got up, put on his coat, and handed me mine. β€œThomas,” he said, β€œI’d like you to go with me to see Bishop Rawlings.”
The winter wind bit into my face as we trudged to Bishop Rawlings’s house. We walked in silence except for the occasional growling of my stomach. I knew Dad was trying to teach me something, but my stomach wasn’t cooperating.
When we reached the small white frame house, we were greeted cordially by the bishop. I felt the warm glow of a fire as we stepped inside the house. Dad and the bishop talked for a minute, then tears welled up in my eyes as I watched Dad give him the three dollars.
Sister Rawlings appeared in the kitchen doorway with bread dough on her hands. β€œBrother Brown,” she said, β€œcould you wait for a loaf of this bread I’m baking? It’s a new recipe, and I’m anxious to see if your family likes it as much as we do.”
β€œThank you, Sister Rawlings,” Dad said. β€œWe need to get right home now, because Sarah will have dinner waiting. But if you’d like, Thomas will be glad to run back for it later.”
The cold wind stung even harder as we headed for home and the tomato-and-carrot dinner. A loaf of bread was not my idea of the Lord’s providing. As if he knew what I was thinking, Dad stopped and put a hand on my shoulder. His other hand wiped the tears from my eyes. β€œThomas, the Lord will provide,” he said.
Dad was right, I knew. And though it’s hard to trust in the Lord when your stomach’s empty, I decided to give Him a chance. I walked with my shoulders straight and told myself, The Lord will provide!
We were passing Harland’s Market, about three blocks from home, when we met Mr. Gates. β€œRay,” he said, greeting my father. β€œI’m glad to see you.”
Dad and Mr. Gates spoke for a bit about old times; then Mr. Gates said, β€œRay, here’s the ten dollars I owe you.” I watched as he handed my father a shiny ten-dollar gold piece!
β€œWhat’s this for, Lee?”
β€œThree years ago, when I was in need, you gave me ten dollars,” Mr. Gates said. β€œNow I can pay you back.”
I didn’t hear the rest of their conversation. All I could do was stare at the ten-dollar gold piece that Dad was holding.
When Mr. Gates finally left, Dad placed the shiny coin in the palm of my hand. β€œWould you like to do some shopping before we go home?” he asked, smiling. β€œI guess Heavenly Father thinks we should have something more than carrots and canned tomatoes for dinner. What do you think?”
My stomach rumbled happily as we turned into Harland’s Market.

Don’t Forget Your Patriarchal Blessing

At age 13, the author was struggling with significant challenges and sought a patriarchal blessing to better connect with Heavenly Father. The blessing brought needed peace then and has continued to guide and comfort her over the years, speaking to her needs at different times.
I received my blessing at 13 years old because I was struggling with some big challenges and I wanted to better connect with Heavenly Father.
And while it did bring me the connection to Him and peace I needed at that time of life, it also continues to do so today.
I have read these sacred words more times than I can count. Strangely, although the words have never changed, they have comforted and inspired my soul in different ways. Without fail, this blessing from heaven seems to say exactly what I need to hear at any moment in time.

The Beatitudes:

Visiting Temple Square, the author's three-year-old daughter saw the statue of Jesus in the North Visitors’ Center. She let go of her father's hand, exclaimed with love, and ran toward the figure. Her spontaneous response illustrated how to come unto Christ as a little child.
The first time we took our three-year-old daughter to Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Utah, she showed me what it means to come unto Christ. As we were going up the ramp in the North Visitors’ Center, she looked up and saw the statue of Jesus. She let go of my hand, looked into my face, and with an expression of unutterable love and eagerness said, β€œOh, Daddy! It’s Jesus!” She then ran as fast as she could to meet him.

The Prophet Joseph Smithβ€”

Joseph told John E. Page he was called on a mission to Canada. When Page protested he had no coat, Joseph gave him his own and promised the Lord would bless him. Page accepted the call and, over two years, walked thousands of miles and baptized many.
The Prophet Joseph was truly blessed with the ability to inspire faith. One bright morning Joseph walked up to John E. Page and said, β€œBrother John, the Lord is calling you on a mission to Canada.”
John E. Page was rather astonished and said, β€œWhy, Brother Joseph, I can’t go on a mission to Canada. I don’t even have a coat to wear.”
The Prophet Joseph took his own coat from his back, handed it to John Page, and said, β€œHere, John, wear this, and the Lord will bless you.” Brother Page took the coat, went to Canada, and in two years walked five thousand miles and baptized six hundred souls, because he trusted in the words of a prophet of God.8

I Had Questions

After gaining a testimony, the author felt prompted to change and meet with his bishop about burdens he carried. Through counseling and confession, he felt a great weight lifted as he left the bishop’s office. He came to understand the Savior’s Atonement personally and developed a tender relationship with his bishop, with the scriptures as the catalyst.
As I desired to understand the scriptures and the doctrine, I started to learn thingsβ€”things started to click. This had an effect on me and led me to start doing things differently and also to go to my bishop and talk to him about things I had been carrying around and good things I wanted to make happen in my life.
For me, this was a crossover between gaining a testimony and understanding what the Atonement can do for me. I worked pretty closely with my bishop. I’d always been close with him, but as soon as I got serious and got into the scriptures, I began to recall things that I had done and that I didn’t want to carry with me. So I started talking to my bishop about certain things so that I could be free of the burden. I went to him, and we spoke and counseled together. Afterward, as I left the bishop’s office, it was like I was free, a big burden was lifted off of me.
That’s when an understanding of the Atonementβ€”of what the Savior has done for usβ€”came to me. And that’s when I truly felt that He knew me, He did this for me, and He loved me. Having the courage to go to my priesthood leader and talk to him helped me so much. I had a very tender, sweet relationship with my bishop because he took the time to work with me. And the scriptures were the catalyst.

Pressure Relief

Exhausted from late-night studying and unable to retain information, the narrator decided to stop and began reading the Book of Mormon instead. Immediately, the headache ceased and a warm peace came, with clear understanding of the words. The experience felt like Heavenly Father speaking directly, bringing calm and alertness.
My brain was exhausted! I had read one page in my history book three times without remembering one word. It was well after midnight when I rubbed my burning eyes and slammed the book shut. I wanted to do well on my final test, but the time had come to give up studying because nothing was getting into my throbbing head.
I set my history book down and, almost out of habit, picked up a different book of history. The cover of my Book of Mormon felt soothing as I opened it to Alma and started my nightly reading. I was not expecting to learn anything in this frame of mind, but to my complete surprise my pounding headache ceased and I felt a warm, comforting peace envelop my body.
My mind was calm and alert. The words were clear and easy to understand. It was as though my kind Heavenly Father were speaking directly to me.

Twenty-third Stake Organized in Ghana: 95th Stake created in Africa West Area

Elder Marcus B. Nash presided over the Adenta Stake conference in January 2018. Due to extraordinary growth, the Adenta Stake was divided and the Accra Ghana Madina Stake was created, with releases and new callings for both stakes' presidencies. Elder Nash noted the faith of pioneer and current members and expressed confidence in the future contributions of the reorganized stakes.
Elder Marcus B. Nash, First Counselor in the Africa West Area Presidency, presided over the semi-annual conference of the Accra Ghana Adenta Stake held on January 20 and 21, 2018.
As part of the conference, the Adenta Stake was divided due to an extraordinary growth in membership. Daniel Kabason was released as president of the Adenta Stake, as were his counselors. With the leadership reorganization of the Adenta Stake, the Accra Ghana Madina Stake was created. The new Madina Stake is the 23rd stake created in Ghana. It is also the 95th stake organized in West Africa since the Church was introduced in 1978.
The newly called Adenta Stake president is Michel Djimedo Avegnon, with first counselor James Belale Yeri, and Richard Paapa Dadzie as second counselor. Samuel Enos Eghan was called as president of the Madina Stake. Yaw Adjin Danso will serve as first counselor, with Edwin Kobina Ewudzie as second counselor of the Madina Stake.
Elder Marcus B. Nash commented on the historic Sunday morning event. β€œThis conference was a sweet confluence of the faith of the pioneer members, current members, as well as the faith of the rising generation,” Elder Nash said.
β€œWe enjoyed the simple and powerful testimony of Brother Opare, the first stake president in Accra,” said Elder Nash. β€œAs a result of the humility and faith of those who have gone before, the faithful labors of inspired and capable leaders today, and with the help of parents and children who choose to obey the Lord, the Adenta and Madina stakes will contribute in miraculous ways to the Church, both in Africa and throughout the world.”

After joining the Church, the writer initially felt indifferent toward the Liahona but later found it invaluable. The magazine strengthened his testimony, helping him resist temptation and set a good example. As a result, a coworker he influenced was baptized and confirmed.
I first discovered the Liahona when I joined the Church several years ago. In the beginning I didn’t think much of it, but as time went by it became one of the most wonderful things in my life and a key to my success. It strengthened my testimony of the restored gospel and helped me stay strong in the Church. Because of this strength, I was able to resist temptations and set a good example for a co-worker, who was eventually baptized and confirmed.
It is so wonderful to study and share the Liahona. It will help me for the rest of my life. I’m so thankful to receive the messages from the Lord’s prophet and apostles every month. The Liahona is sweeter to me than honey and more valuable than gold.

The Elephant Charge

A new Church member became overly judgmental toward non-LDS friends after baptism. At an outdoor concert, he criticized people drinking wine, and his friend gently compared it to Jews criticizing others for eating ham. He reflected, apologized, and chose to change himself instead of demanding changes from others. As a result, he still stands for his beliefs but in a kinder way that invites conversations about the Church.
My first few months of being a new member of the Church were rough onesβ€”especially for my friends. On one hand, I was excited about what I had found, the feelings of inner peace and the joy I felt in my close relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
On the other hand, in my excitement to share my new understanding of the restored gospel and its teachings, I started to regularly tell my non-LDS friends when they did something I thought was wrong.
Of course, I was about as subtle as a bull elephant on a charge.
One evening in the early summer, I finally realized how judgmental and self-righteous I had become. About five months after my baptism, I went to an outdoor concert with a good friend. As we walked around the grounds trying to find a spot to eat our picnic before the concert began, I noticed many of the people around us had brought wine to share with their dinner. Not one to pass up an opportunity to show how much wisdom I had acquired by being a member of the Church, I hissed to my friend, β€œLook at all those people drinking wineβ€”that’s disgusting!”
My kind and patient friend turned to me and said, β€œI’m sure that when Jewish people go into a restaurant, they don’t walk around and criticize everyone with ham on their plates.”
I finally had the good sense to be silent for a little while and ponder what he said. I realized that in all the lessons I had been taught, there had been no mention of members going forth and judging their neighbors. As a matter of fact, the terms β€œsilent example” and β€œloving nature” had been used a lot.
Embarrassed, I thanked my friend for his wisdom and apologized for my lack of consideration.
I am happy to report that his message came through loud and clear. I stopped demanding changes from my friends and started demanding change from myself. I still stand strong for the things I believe in, but in a polite wayβ€”a way that, happily, has made my friends comfortable in talking to me about the Church.

Your Body: Taking Care of That Divine Gift

At 27, the author, a mother of three, was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and sought God’s help amid mental and physical turmoil. She worked with a psychologist and rheumatologist, used natural approaches, and persisted for years until her health improved. She later hiked to a mountain lake, expressing gratitude for her body, and despite limitations, served a senior mission in Washington, USA.
At age 27 and as the mother of three, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease that destroys the joints over time. My life careened out of control physically and mentally. I turned to God for help in regaining the mental stability and excellent health I had previously taken for granted.

I sought help from a psychologist for my anxiety. I worked with a rheumatologist on which medications to take and used natural solutions as well. I never gave up. After many years and much anguish, my health improved physically and mentally.

I remember one afternoon hiking past a sea of wildflowers to a mountain lake. With tears rolling down my face, I thanked God for the blessing of my physical body and my ability to engage in an activity I thought was lost to me. There’s no cure for my condition, and the disease has taken a visible toll on my body. But hiking and exercising have become my passions, and I never take my health for granted.

Despite my physical limitations, I recently served a senior mission with my husband in Washington, USA (which is a hiking mecca!). I’m thankful to have served throughout my life in almost every Church calling available.

Remember How Thou Hast Received and Heard

As a little girl, the speaker traveled with her family across the Nevada desert at night to attend general conference in the Tabernacle. She recalls waiting outside in the early morning, hoping not to sit behind a pillar or a large hat, and feeling reverence when the prophet entered. These memories return whenever she attends conference or hears leaders speak, reinforcing her spiritual identity.
My dear brothers and sisters, I remember as a little girl driving across the Nevada desert with my family to attend general conference in this Tabernacle. Automobiles did not have air-conditioning, so we traveled at night with a canvas water bag tied to the front of the car in case the radiator boiled over. I remember standing outside this building, singing the hymns of Zion in the darkness of the morning, waiting for the large wooden doors to open. I remember secretly hoping that I wouldn’t be seated behind one of the wide, round pillars, or worse, a lady wearing a large hat. Though I was scarcely tall enough to see, I remember the feelings that came over me as everyone rose when the prophet entered. Those feelings of excited reverence are spiritual feelings that return each time I enter this building or hear our leaders speak in general conference. I remember what I have received and heard. I remember what I know and what I have felt.
