He Lives

"I testify of my Savior Jesus Christ. I know He lives. I have felt His love; I have felt His forgiveness. I think of a sister missionary as she departed the mission. In her final testimony she said: I came on a mission to let Heavenly Father know I loved Him, to express appreciation to Him, and to pay Him back, and she said, I'm leaving more in His debt than I ever was before I came."

Face Toward Zion

James Steele shades the face of Mary Murray Murdoch, known lovingly as "Wee Granny." Mary's physical strength carried her only to Chimney Rock, Nebraska, but her spiritual strength was manifest in her request to have the Steeles tell her son John that she died facing Zion. That testimony still burns in the hearts of her posterity.
