I wanted to share some exciting news with you! On Saturday, August 31, we’ll be celebrating the groundbreaking ceremony for the Cagayan de Oro Philippines Temple. Elder Carlos G. Revillo Jr., the Philippines Area President, will lead the event. The temple will be built on a beautiful 4.9-acre site on Rosario Limketkai Avenue in Cagayan de Oro City. It will be a two-story building, about 18,449 square feet, and will include an ancillary building with an arrival center, patron housing, and a distribution center.

Also, on July 8, 2024, the official exterior rendering of the temple was revealed to the public. It’s truly exciting to see this project coming to life! Photo below.

We all need “a refuge from the storm” (D&C 115:6), said Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles during a CES Devotional on May 4, 2014.

“We need a special place of refuge where we can wean ourselves from the distractions of our electronic devices by unplugging them so we can connect to the Spirit of God,” he said. “One of the best places to connect with the Spirit is in the temple—the house of the Lord.”

To help us “find a place to feel and hear the voice of the Lord today, I invite you to go to the temple,” continued Elder Ballard. “Go as often as you can.”

Those who do not qualify for a temple recommend can visit the temple grounds, he said. “Let me make a very important point in case you have never heard it before: Nothing prevents you or anyone else from visiting the temple grounds. The Lord wants you to prepare yourself to be worthy of a temple recommend and come to the temple as soon as you can. Walking the grounds will plant in your heart a desire to get a recommend and attend the temple regularly. …

“I assure each of you that as you go to the temple or visit the temple grounds, you will walk on sacred, holy ground just as the early patriarchs and matriarchs did so long ago. They were focused on their eternal journey and the most important things of life. Like them, you can also focus on feeling power and the presence of heaven” (“Be Still, and Know That I Am God”).

(Updated) The Philippines is getting 13 temples in total.

Early in the morning, Mary Magdalene, a friend and follower of Jesus, came to the tomb to care for Jesus Christ’s body. To her astonishment, she found the tomb empty. Later, as she wept outside the tomb, a man addressed her—a gardener, she supposed. But then He said her name: “Mary.” And she saw. It was Jesus Christ, alive again. The knowledge was too wonderful to contain. Her faith propelled her into a joyous sprint as she ran to tell the others.

It’s a testimony that still propels people today. You can know just as she did that Jesus Christ lives. Because of Him, everyone will live again. If we follow Christ, we can find true happiness on earth—and look forward to eternal joy in the life to come.

It’s hard to imagine the anguish Jesus Christ’s followers must have felt on the day after His death. The night before, His body had been lovingly prepared and placed in a garden tomb. Now they were left to figure out how life could possibly go on without Him. Almost certainly His death had taken something from them, but what they had lost was nothing compared to all that His life had given. Whether they understood it or not, Jesus Christ had forged a new path forward for all who would follow Him, one lit by a hope that shines brighter than any darkness we may encounter. John 14:15–16, 26–27. Matthew 27:55–61

𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝘅𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁.
After a series of one-sided trials, Jesus Christ was sentenced to death by crucifixion. Roman soldiers mocked and scourged Him and nailed Him to the cross. But instead of condemning them, Jesus Christ begged His Father to “forgive them; for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34). Even in His darkest moment, Jesus spoke of love and redemption. With His dying breath, Jesus addressed His Father. “It is finished,” He said (John 19:30). An unlikely testimony came from a Roman centurion and those who were with him: “Truly this was the Son of God” (Matthew 27:54). The realization is just as awe-inspiring today as it was then.

We protect families from typhoons and earthquakes by building disaster proof homes. Please donate here in order to help us provide for those most in need! Raising $5,00...

As you know, last year my wife and I and some close friends from Utah created a non-profit 501c3 called IHHELPP! I just returned from the Philippines about a week ago with IHHELPP after building, in a day and a half-- TWO DISASTER PROOF HOMES-- for two families (One was for the Stake President). Many lost their homes in the Tacloban area (where the hurricane hit the hardest). There were about 6,000 lives lost in the area. We took 8 boy scouts from Utah with us to help with the building of the homes for their Eagle Scout project. During this trip, we were invited to the home of the Vice President of the Philippines and are in the process of presenting our disaster proof home concept to him to be accredited so we can help more families there and save more lives in the future. We witnessed NUMEROUS MIRACLES on this trip and one was to see BYU STUDENTS already there helping out! The Lord's tender mercies were obvious on this trip. We slept on the floor with people that lost everything. Very humbling. Another Miracle was the incredible missionary work we were able to do through service. We hired two drivers and both drivers wanted to take the missionary lessons because they were moved by the spirit after taking us around. Another miracle was that we were able to teach the local Filipinos how to build these homes as a source of industry for them because many of them are unemployed. These are only a few of the Miracles that we experienced that I wanted to share with you and President Wheelwright (BYUH President) because I am so proud to work with you and so many wonderful students.
