And taking time to go through those memories, to go through those flashbacks with a lens of the gospel or with a lens of the Savior, you can find the Savior in those moments and then you can turn that over to the Lord." -Bridger Frampton Links: Pt. 1 interview- https://www.ldsliving.com/all-in/bridger-and-lindsey-frampton-the-faith-that-outlasted-the-flames-in-michigan-pt-1

People of faith, people of service, and people who love others around them."

It's a time for us to celebrate that gift, to appreciate it, maybe to emulate it but it's really all about receiving and I just think there's some tenderness in that."   Links: Teaching Easter by Maria Eckersley Elder Neal A. Maxwell- "The cavity which suffering carves into our souls will one day also be the receptacle of joy."
