We were touched to read his story. Unable to complete his LDS mission in Russia because of health problems, he struggled with depression. On a trip to Nauvoo, a place that held special significance for him, Father Tony of the Catholic Church shared something that helped Seth pull out of his despair.

Temples are symbols of our faith in the eternal plan of our Father in Heaven. They are symbols of our faith in the Savior, Jesus Christ. They are reminders of our belief that families can be eternal through the ordinances of the temple. They are reminders that our hope is that someday, we can return to live with God, through the grace of the atonement of Jesus Christ and our efforts to follow and become more like Him.

Please share your thoughts about what the temple means to you in the comments section below.
