[MUSIC PLAYING] A person who goes to the temple--when they enter, they lay their problems and challenges down at the door, go in, and when they come back out, the same problems and challenges are there. But what has changed is the individual. During that time in the temple, they are spiritually refreshed. They're empowered with a grander, better vision. They see things in their true character and perspective. [SPEAKING SPANISH] I was baptized when I was 19, but as a young man, I fell away for a long time. One day my wife and I were talking, and suddenly two missionaries came by. Just a few days later, she was baptized a member of the Church. [SPEAKING SPANISH] My husband was active for a while, but then overnight his testimony grew cold. I kept going. I would always take my son to Church. [SPEAKING SPANISH] Little by little, I fell. When you leave the Church, knowing the things of the Lord, Satan attacks you, traps you, misleads you. And that happened with me. The tempter pulled me down as low as a human being can fall.

As time passed, my wife grew stronger and stronger in the gospel until one day, she asked me to sign a permission form for her.

She was too afraid to tell me that she was going to the Costa Rica temple. When the Panama temple was dedicated, she started going to the temple every weekend in her spare time. I always said, "Why do you waste your time at the temple?" I always heard her talk about temple workers, and I wondered, "What is a temple worker? What is a temple worker?" One day I was alone in my house, and I started meditating. That day I decided to get down on my knees. I begged God to forgive me, to take control of my life, to make me an instrument in His hands, to change me.

The Lord answered my prayers.

I feel so grateful to the Lord for the great change He has brought about in my life.

One of the great achievements is being able to serve Him as a temple worker.

On June 10, 2011, after being active in the Church for one year, I was able to enter this very special place for the first time.

I never thought I'd be a temple worker, but today the Lord has put me in the place where He wants me to be as His son.

I would not trade my year of service in the temple for anything.

The whole effort here is conversion and to internalize the gospel. It penetrates to the heart so there's the mighty change of heart beginning or progressing in their lives, and it becomes who and what they are. I know the reality of Jesus Christ. I know His role as Savior and Redeemer. I bear witness of His infinite power and grace to forgive and to sanctify and to save each one who will receive it.
