Trials Help Us Grow

Crystal’s younger brother passed away at age 35, breaking her heart. Just four months later, her father also passed away. The weight of those losses left her stunned and grieving for a long time. Yet in her sorrow, Crystal felt the gentle presence of the Savior. “He was there for me the whole time,” she recalls. “He helped me know when it was enough mourning, and gave me strength to keep going.”

As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Crystal has learned that the Savior’s love can carry us through even the heaviest burdens. Whatever trials or losses you may be facing, know that you are not alone. Through Jesus Christ there is healing, hope, and peace ahead. If you long to feel His comfort more deeply, missionaries from the Church would be glad to help you find it.
