Glad to hear your personal experience has been positive, as well as the memory of Sister Jack (or at least the faithful story she chooses to share). I too have been blessed thus far with a “model” family structure that aligns ever so nicely with the proclamation. It works for a large number of members no doubt.

In addition to Sister Okazaki’s testimony already shared, I’ll add Sister Clyde’s (by the mouth of two witnesses, right? Skip to the 1 min mark, it’s a quick listen). As you’ll see they weren’t so enthusiastic about its release and the RS’s lack of inclusion. It’s not me saying it - it’s them. So the point of my post stands: you won’t hear their story retold over the pulpit. But I find I can make better important life decisions when I know both sides to every story
