  • Jr. Taimi's life was drugs and gangs when he was just a kid. He was incarcerated for a crime he didn't commit, lost his mom while he was in prison, and experienced many other heartbreaking tragedies.
    After coming home from prison, he was at the dinner table with his family and his daughter said a prayer that would change the course of his life. He knew that wherever she learned to pray like that was somewhere he wanted to be.
    Jr. met with the missionaries and debated the church's teachings with them. When he learned about eternal families, and gained the knowledge that he could see his mom again, he knew he wanted to be baptized and 3 years later, he and his wife Asia were sealed in the temple.
    They now run a group home in St. George, UT, & give back to kids who struggle. They say the difference in their program, is that they treat everyone who enters like children of God.

    Most powerful thing for me was this statement:
    "What I don't do is complain about the faith that I DON'T have. I hold on to the faith that I DO have. And I hold onto it dearly because not only of the feelings that I had, but because I know this Church is true. I've seen it. I've been through so much stuff that, the worse it gets, I just endure it to the end, righteously and I come out better."
    Jr. inspires me so much! I have loved ones who have left the Church - all five of my kids - and it's heartbreaking, and it's a struggle to hold hope for their return.

    Great interview! You do such a good job with the interviews because you asked enough questions to prompt good discussion but you don't try to overdo it. Well done!

    I love and appreciate Br. Taimi's humble sharing of his experiences, and enduring testimony. I cried when I heard his love and respect for his departed mother. The temple ordinance of eternal family sealing is beautiful and such a comfort. Thankyou for this podcast.
