The Atonement of Jesus Christ Life has a way of throwing unexpected trials our way, trials that we never imagined would be ours to face in this life. For many, divorce is one of those heartbreaking realities. It can leave a person feeling lost, broken, and questioning what the future holds. But no matter how painful the experience is, there is hope. The Atonement of Jesus Christ is more than just a way to overcome sin, it is the ultimate source of healing, strength, and renewal. Elder Jefferey R. Holland once said, “However late you think you are, however many chances you think you have missed, however many mistakes you feel you have made… you have not traveled beyond the reach of divine love.” In moments of deep sorrow, it’s easy to feel like healing is out of reach. But Christ’s love extends to the brokenhearted, offering peace even in the most unexpected trials. President Russell M. Nelson also reminded us, “When you reach up for the Lord’s power in your life with the same intensity...

  Welcome to the Next Ten Months of Your Life The airplane wheels screeched against the runway, jolting me awake from my restless nap. A cheerful flight attendant’s voice crackled through the speakers: “Welcome to Incheon International Airport.” My stomach dropped. South Korea, my mission field for the remainder of my service, was no longer a distant dream. It was real, right in front of me, and I was a bundle of nerves. Stepping off the plane, I was immediately hit by a wave of sounds. Korean announcements echoed through the terminal, luggage wheelers clattered, and travelers chatted in a language that felt like a song I didn’t know the words to. My grip tightened on my two 50-pound suitcases; their handles dug into my palms as I struggled to maneuver through the packed terminal. I had spent weeks at the Missionary Training Center learning basic phrases, but hearing Korean spoken at full speed felt like being dropped into a foreign film without subtitles. The unfamiliarity of it a...
