Ever wondered how a dedicated church leader navigates significant transitions in their roles? This episode of Temple Bound brings you an intimate conversation with Troy Wallin, a cherished friend and fellow church member, who recently moved from Bishop to the second counselor in the Williamsfield Stake. Troy shares his heartfelt experiences, revealing the joys and challenges of serving the youth and the mixed emotions tied to his new responsibilities. We also explore the broader issue of youth grappling with self-identity and underline the pivotal role of temple and family history work in uncovering one's true self.

Troy's story is beautifully complemented by the inspiring legacy of my grandpa, Samuel Boren, one of the first converts to the church in Argentina. Samuel's unwavering faith led him to sacrifice a promising soccer career to honor the Sabbath, eventually serving as a mission and temple president in Mesa. His life exemplifies commitment, courage, and the enduring impact of meaningful principles. Through his story, we reflect on how the sacrifices and strength of our ancestors can instill confidence and resilience in us today.

This episode also delves into the profound impact of ancestral stories on our identities and self-worth. Sharing personal anecdotes, we highlight the importance of family history in boosting children's self-esteem and sense of belonging. Learn how engaging apps and interactive games can make family history accessible and exciting for the younger generation. Wrapping up with expressions of gratitude and the power of community, we invite you to stay connected with us on Instagram for more updates and previews of future episodes.
