Angels that Intervene with Children By  Anne Hinton Pratt  · February 10, 2022 Cover image: “Tender Mercies” by Annie Henrie Nader,  altusfineart.com  Used with permission.  Some of the most beautiful and touching stories told are those about angels protecting children. Several months ago, I shared several of these in  an article . I’ve since received additional amazing and inspiring experiences from readers like you that you’ll want to feast on. Miraculously Rescued from Fire Kenny Mazzanti, a retired Sergeant on the California Highway Patrol had several experiences where he saw firsthand where angels protected children.  He writes, “I was patrolling southbound I-5 near Lebec (between Los Angeles and Bakersfield CA) when I saw the backend of a motorhome burst into flames.

Parry carefully deals with seven different entries on the sacred clothing of ancient and modern temples. However, in the present paper, because of space concerns, he deals with one of the seven topics. A few years ago, in Southern California, a couple informed their Stake President “that their first temple experience overwhelmed them because they didn’t understand the experience.” [1]  They were especially perplexed about the sacred temple clothing—why sacred clothing? And what does it...
