I love stories like these. This is like going to bed, and having your mom or dad telling you lovely stories about many different things.

My good friend is a non-member and listens to all your stories. Shes the one that sent me a link to hear them myself. Her and I enjoy sharing what touched us in the stories we listen to the night before. Thank you for your inspiration and reminding me the Lord is the same from beging to today. We are all loved and He is waiting for us to be ready for our own miracles. I have been blessed with many of my own miracles from my Father in Heaven. Thank you Bro. Merrill

I used to work at the Provo Temple. I have several experiences with people from the other side of the veil. I once saw a whole congregation of spirits who were waiting for a temple session to start.

Thank you so much for your inspirational stories. I received my win endowment in the Provo Temple 52 years ago. I felt my grandmother there who ad died 2 months before I was born. My husband and I have been ordinance workers in Ogden and are now serving in the new Red Cliffs Temple in St. George. There is no place I would rather be than in the temple. When President Nelson said we will need the guiding and including power of the Holy Ghost to survive coming times of trouble, and President Oaks telling us in conference that we receive a greater portion from the Holy Ghost in the temple, I feel strongly there is more power in the temple than I previously realized. And when we can’t be there we are still under that power by living our temple covenants. Thanks for sharing these tender stories as a witness of that. I, too, add my witness!

Thank you brother. This is a voice I need. I feel your spirit.

Thank you Lance. Beautifully done. ♥️ My older brother is one of those gifted to hear and see spirits. He has had so many experiences in the Temple.

I’m watching your videos from New Zealand…I’ve only found you recently and so glad I have. Thank you for these wonderful inspirational true stories.

I absolutely love these! Thank you for putting out these wonderful stories! I'm so happy I've found your channel!

Thank you for today’s stories it made me think of a time as I went through the vail for a family member I felt a hug and always wondered if I was making it. Up I love your stories thank you

I truly love your channel dear brother. You have the Spirit to be with you. Your topics are so interesting, with fond regards brother Powers

I just love your stories! I am so glad you have decided to share them like this. I check for your new videos as often as your new posts are available and watch them as a spiritual pick me up! Thank you Brother!

Beautiful, sacred stories. Thanks.

The first time I tried genealogy work on my own on the Family Tree app, I believe that I had incredible experiences with the Spirit of Elijah. These people really are so anxious to have their work done! I believe that they know when their names are being prepared for temple work. At times also, they are SO funny! The joyful humor they have is just absolutely transcendental by comparison! When you told that tender moment about your daughter’s manner of telling you about the temple clothes, it was such a confirmation to me that what I’ve experienced is real! You’re helping me so much brother Merrill, thank you so so much for your bravery in sharing these beautiful, wonderful, and sacred things!

I love your lessons, they buoy up my spirit!! I am a convert to the church and both of my parent's passed on a number of years ago. I was living in Utah and the Young Men and Young Women of my ward asked if anyone had any names ready for baptisms as they were going to the Logan Temple. I was so happy that I had quite a number of names ready and quickly volunteered my stash. Then I was privileged to be at the Logan Temple when the baptisms were performed. There was a screen on which the names would appear as the ordinances were being performed but try as I might I could not read the names. I was quite distressed that I could not see well enough to know when my family names were being done and tried to console myself that they "were" being baptized whether I could read the names or not. I continued to stand near the window and watch the screen as though I could see it, and miraculously, first my father's name appeared on the screen and later, my mother's name appeared. Of all of the baptisms performed that day they were the only two names I was able to see on the screen. It was such a tender mercy for me, and I remain grateful to this day that I was able to witness my parent's baptisms that day. I didn't see them that day, but I know they were there!

Brother Merrill’s, I also worked in the Provo temple! Now I work in the Orem temple. So many wonderful blessing when we attend the temple on both sides of the veil. Thank you for sharing your testimony.

My husband and I listened to this video on our way to Stake Conference this morning. Neither of us could hold back the tears. Thank you for making these wonderful videos, brother ❤️

Those were wonderful stories. While married to my second husband, he lost his closest brother. A few years later, I asked him if my son could do Scott's work. My husband wasn't a member, but he didn't hesitate in saying yes. So my son and I went to the temple to do Scott's work. My husband was a very good looking man, but I've never seen him look more beautiful as he did when I said 'Scott's work is done'. It's from that that I have no doubt that my husband accepted the gospel after he passed away, and my son did his work. I was also able to be sealed to him. What a blessing the temples are in our lives. Thank you for sharing such special experiences.

Thanks for sharing those wonderful stories from the temple. I wonder if some of those we encounter in and around the temple as we serve are really those for whom we're serving and we don't even realize it.

Beautiful stories! Inspiring and edifying! Thank you!❤

This was amazing! Thanks, brother, for these inspirational stories. We are truly blessed to have the restoration, this promised land, and temples in our lives.

My husband put this on tonight and we had to rewind when I heard my friend Shirley Steinagel mentioned. Her daughter and I have been friends since BYU days when we shared a home. Really enjoyed your stories of temple miracles.

Amen brother.

This was a beautiful way to start my day. ❤ Thanks, Brother Lance.

KZfaq recently recommended your videos to me. How wonderful! I was reading a comment in another KZfaq channel who also said they recently found your videos. Your inspirational stories are spreading. Please keep it going. ❤

I love this Brother!

A German man who lived in Guatemala told me that he used to see (or dream of) his grandfather saying, "Help me, Dieter!", except he didn't know how he could help him, as he had died. Many years later, he joined the church, and took the names of his ancestors to the temple. He told me that he could see a room full of people dressed in shining white, smiling so big that Dieter was there finally, helping them. He died a few weeks after sharing this with me. I'm sure his ancestors met him with open arms on the other side.

Thanks so much for sharing, I'm glad that I found this today.

Thank you l wood like to share a story l am a worker and the Washington D C Temple l was the coroner in the name issue I was short on workers so l invested one sister to give the new name as I was speaking this could wind from hi between both of us, l know that was the spirit of this sister l well never forget .love to work in the temple ♥️

Always uplifting to hear stories of the temples and experiences of members who go there! The Logan Temple has a few good stories, too. 😊

Wonderful and tender!

Thank you for the uplifting experiences !!

Thanks brother Merrell for sharing these wonderful stories of the Temple. They warm my soul and encourage me to go there more often.

Wonderful stories. My grandparents are in the Edgemont Stake

Doug Orton was able to find more information about the Jewish Leader that I referred to in the first story: David Ben Zakai, born in Ramla Isreal, 896 died Khorasan, Iran 940. He was an Exilarch leader of the Jewish community in Babylon. He is known in Jewish history for his conflict with Saadia Gaon, which ruptured the Jewish leadership in Babylon. aka; David ha-Nasi of Bali. Here is a Wikipedia link for more information about this man.WOW This guy was a heavy hitter. I just read about him. He was amazing.: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saadia_Gaon

Thank you?❤

Thank you for sharing these beautiful stories. When I worked as an ordinance worker, one day I was acting proxy for some sealings. I faced the sealer, and behind him was a large panel of stained glass. Suddenly I heard the door open behind me. Since we were in the middle of an ordinance, I didn't turn around, but thought it strange that someone had entered the room during the sealing, as this wasn't normally permitted. I felt the couple walk around behind me, and as I looked at the sealer, I could see them reflected in the glass panel behind him. They took their seats and we continued. When the ordinances were complete, I turned around to see who had come in. There was no one there. Puzzled, I asked the other people in the room what happened to the couple who had come in. No one else in the room had seen anyone. I have felt the presence of people before and since that, but that is the only time I know of that I actually saw them.

❤️

Hey brother, there’s any way you could, sometime, show us all those books in your library collection behind you? I bet they would be a great addition to many of us as we discover truths, stories and mysteries in the restored gospel. Thank you!!

She is a spitting image of you.

Kirtland

We have lost children also, it’s not a fun club to belong to. I would LOVE to know what she taught you about temple clothing!

Like the rest of us Brother Lance probably shops at Costco! So that’s why we tend to say Kirkland temple instead of Kirtland Temple ❤

Thank you brother Merrill. That tucked my heart. I’m really glad I found your KZfaq channel. I wish I could ask you personally but do you have any Native American ancestry?

Thank you for this video and your channel. I have heard the baptism one before where there is a line of people getting baptized smiling and leaving. Is this first hand or third hand knowledge?

Enjoy your video Please make more ❤ 21:50

Love your videos. It is the Kirtland temple not Kirkland
