Acts of LDS Warmth

We’re excited to introduce the Acts of Warmth and Kindness Database, a new initiative to track and celebrate the positive actions of LDS members. It is silly and just for fun. We have personally curated and collected these testimonies from across social media. In the future we will set things up for users to submit them. This database will include a description of each kind act, the date it was submitted, and the ward/stake and name of the submitter. By highlighting these acts, we aim to inspire others, strengthen our community, and celebrate the spirit of kindness that defines our LDS family. Remember, each small act of kindness reflects Christ’s love and helps build a brighter, more compassionate world. Submit your entries today and join us in this uplifting endeavor!

Pete, an electrician by trade, takes his temple covenants so seriously. He considers the knowledge he has been given a gift from God. He uses his time, talents and helps for free, as an act of service, any and all widows, ward members, the poor, needy and especially elderly who need electrical work done. He is constantly led to people who are truly in need and cannot possibly afford to pay for the work done. Our whole family has been blessed by his service, not to mention the hundreds of people he serves gladly and tirelessly. Pete, is such a great example of Christlike love and always a missionary!

Our Christmas of miracles I was attending Colorado springs 10th Ward. I was a single mother of four children struggling to make ends meet. December came around and my child support check got lost in the mail. I sobbed driving past the tree lots. Praying to heavenly father; I told him I knew it wasn't about the tree and the presents but I couldn't even pay $5 for a permit and cut a tree on Forest service land. I couldn't buy a single gift for my children. One day I returned home from work and my living room was full of Christmas stuff. A tree, ornaments, lights, stockings, tree skirt, gifts for everyone and a basket of food for Christmas dinner. A couple had moved into the ward a few months before; he worked for hobby lobby. Every year they surprised a family in need with all the trimmings for Christmas. A few days later my Bishop stopped by and handed me an envelope and told me it was from someone in the ward. The envelope contained $200. Suddenly I was able to go shopping for my children. A few days later Bishop's counselor dropped by and handed me a gift bag and told me this was a gift from his wife Susan. I tucked it under the tree. Excited that there would be a surprise gift for me. On Christmas morning I was surprised to see a new set of scriptures which I desperately needed. My sister who was single, spent Christmas with us. She and I went shopping. She spent hundreds of dollars on my children and I. On Christmas morning there were so many gifts under the tree. It was amazing. There was one surprise, an envelope which contained enough money for me to buy a new tote for my scriptures. To this day I don't know where it came from. Heavenly Father sent earthly angels to answer my prayers.	Bishop, anonymous	Colorado springs 10th Ward	Janice Parr Doughman
My daughter (Voni) is so good with her niece and nephew. She’s kind, and very sweet and gentle with them. She would bathe them, prepare food and feed them, take them to water splash, swimming, talk, play, and just really love them. My sister (Ailini), is a very kind and loving person. She ministers to family members, neighbors, co-workers, and anyone she can render services. She even remembers to ministers to those on the other side of the veil by making time to attend the temple 7:00am-11:00am every Tuesdays and Wednesdays. She loves to serve everyone as you can see.	Voni, Ailin		Kaufoou Taukiuvea

Tiffani has been a blessing to me this last month. She took my family in after a hurricane because we were without electricity and she had hers restored first. She cared for our 5 children and others in need for a week before power was restored. Then the next week, our family was in a roll over crash and she prayed with me and traveled with me to care for the wrecked car and traveled with me in the blinding rain helping me to restore my confidence in my driving skills again. True friendship is unselfish and never ends.	Tiffani Parkway		Kathryn Rogers
One time as a young mother I was so sick that I couldn’t get off the couch. I had two toddlers 17 months apart. They went and got eggs and took them down stairs and broke them on my coffeee table and they went through the cracks. They got into jam, jumped on their sisters bed and tore down her canopy and spilled bubbles in the carpet. I was so sick I couldn’t get off the couch to stop them. I said a prayer and asked for help. Soon I heard a knock at the door and it was my neighbor/friend Gail. She told me I don’t know why I stopped. I just pulled into your driveway. When she learned I was sick. She cleaned up all the messes and put the two toddlers in the tub and gave them a bath. I will never forget her kind acts of service for me.	Gail		Larissa Dagley
I have a little granddaughter who is three years old. She has always been extremely mature for her young age. She has a big brother who is 5 who has autism. She watches over and protects him like a hawk. She is so good to him. She takes his hand and holds it when they are walking. At the parade she puts something in her bucket and makes sure he gets something in his bucket as well. He burned the bottom of his foot. She comes over and holds the cold thing on his foot to help him out. She is truly a little angel sent from Heaven to look out after her big brother. She is protective of him and has told others to leave her brudder alone.	Little Sister		Larissa Dagley

It’s been said that today many people are leaving the Church, but these same people don’t leave the church alone. I see members constantly doing kind deeds for family, neighbors and community. Members are service oriented and understand the importance of looking for opportunities to do good.	Random Members		Connie Williams Archibald
Several years ago, I had a very difficult pregnancy. Many people stepped in to help. My parents and my husband’s parents took turns watching my children, and cleaning our home. My mother in law had severe arthritis and could not lift my pre-schoolers but came twice a week. My parents were also taking care of my grand father and an uncle who were disabled. In addition, the young women in my ward watched my children after school until my husband could get home from work. A neighbor transported my school aged children to and from school. Another did our grocery shopping. After the baby was born at 25 weeks gestation a third neighbor watched our children for two hours each day so that I could visit my baby in the NICU. All of this service was given freely. None of the neighbors or young women would accept pay for their help. My husband was given support at work to deal with his anxiety and given time to deal with my many hospital visits. One doctor sat in a rocking chair for a couple of hours in the middle of the night to tend to my needs. And it would not be fair to forget the priesthood blessings and the Lord’s patience with my anxiety and doubts. Hidden hollow ward Layton Utah. It should also be noted that the year was a difficult year for the ward as well. We had 17 pregnancy that year. 8 women were on bed rest for various problems. Two of us had pre-term babies. Two more were born pre-term in the stake. Additionally, we had two full term babies born with significant health issues that did not survive. It was a crazy year of relief society and young women service.	Church Members	Hidden hollow ward Layton Utah	Anna Davis
One of mine would be our primary. We are a small branch and only have 4 primary kids. Sandy, Jesse and Susette have taught them to honor and take care of the sisters. We got hearts for Valentine’s Day, chocolates for Mother’s Day and for me I got a cupcake and they sang happy birthday to me on my birthday. These leaders are teaching the children to love and respect every Relief Society sister. As for the sisters we love it!	Sandy, Jesse and Susette		Linda Taylor Orr

My 81 year old mom fell and was rushed to hospital, 12 hours later my husband who is in heart failure collapsed and hit his head and was rushed to hospital… A few days before I had cortisone injected into my hip and was supposed to be on total bed rest. Mom suffered 2 fractures on her spine and husband PPPD. My son flew from Durban to drive me around and support me. My youngest daughter came to do shifts at the hospital, seeing both granny and dad had visitors. Sisters made us meals and visited. Brethren visited and made sure everything was taken care of. This is just one of the many situations where members have blessed our family. I can’t express enough how the acts of kindness and love have helped me.

Almost 28 years ago I was married and had just had a baby. We barely had enough money to pay rent. I was so worried about how we were going to get diapers and other things for the baby. One day someone left a big package of diapers and wipes and included a$100 bill. That was a HUGE blessing for us. This is just one of many stories of blessings from others in the church.

When l was Relief Society secretary there was a very poor family in our ward (1975-76) another member had a freezer full of elk meat and told our bishop if he knew of someone in need, immediately the bishop thought of the poor family. bishop assigned the Relief Society president to get the meat and take it to the poor family in need The Relief Society President asked me to help her deliver the meat, she told me that l wasn’t to tell who the donor was, they wanted to be anonymous. The poor family was so overcome with thankfulness and yes they asked who generously gave them the meat, we answered saying “just a good person who wanted to help one of Heavenly Father’s families”.

2023 ended with the painful notification that our daughter was in a terrible snowmobile accident. After being life flighted twice, she received her first surgery at Intermountain Hospital in Murray/SLC Utah. One evening we reached out to the Intermountain Branch for a priesthood blessing for our daughter as she faced this new battle consisting of tests, surgeries and healing. Bob came into our daughter's room after 10pm. He and those who wanted to participate provided a beautiful blessing for our daughter. This was not the last time we saw him. He came back often to check in on her. His smile and compassion brought peace and comfort during this difficult and painful situation. There were many who impacted our lives with acts of kindness and compassion. My husband and I are grateful for the Intermountain Hospital Branch as well as for all those who have positively impacted our family's lives. Thank you!	Bob	Intermountain Branch	Diana Bedgisoff
After the fire in Lahaina last year, my daughter, Jennifer, collected supplies to be sent to those who had lost everything. So many caring people contributed that she had to rent a U-Haul truck to get all of the donations to the airport for the flight to Maui.	Jennifer		Sharlene Wells

an example of truly being in sync with heavenly Father our Bishop D.Z., came to visit during a very difficult time. As we sat at the table I looked up and saw Jesus Christ sitting in his place .

He is always quietly there for all of us and we love him	Bishop D.Z.	3rd Ward Fairfield, CA	Carmen Aguilar-Donaire
I had to have foot surgery and the day after it my husband had to go out of town for work. Without even asking a few of the RS sisters of the Westwing Ward made a schedule for bringing me lunch/dinner each day until my husband returned. I would have never asked for this service and probably would have told them it wasn’t necessary, but it was so needed and appreciated as I had no concept of how disabling the surgery would be to my independence.	RS sisters	Westwing Ward	Tish Mineer

And also here’s a good story that I can share, we have a brother named Andy S. Black, his light of Christ had led me to the church to be baptized back 4 years ago during the pandemic. I met him at a program I used to go to and I was curious why does he wear this fancy clothing, all buttoned up and tied up all the time walking like a business man. I have a wholesome idea about people so I asked him about why he looked like he’s running a business? His first answer was so candid and simple that he just replied “because I have a business!” I had said a short reply and left him alone thinking to myself “I wonder what type of business he has and why he always looks so happy about it?”. So the week after that I had met him again, so then I asked him “what is this business yours?” Without expecting much about his answer he said “my business? It’s church!”. So then I replied “so that book you keep holding and walking around is not a ledger!?”. He said “no it’s a Book of Mormon.” And I was like “book of what?”. Then we talked, and I was happy to know that he’s a devout follower of Jesus Christ, but I still didn’t know the church that he goes to and I asked him if I could go visit with him one day. So he invited me to go on a the nearest Sunday we were both available. There as I met the members I was amazed because people from his church were so down to earth and loving people, they even wanted to know my name and share theirs! Almost everybody shook my hand and gave me a warm welcome, the others were busy but that was good for me! I was overwhelmed and got anxious so I left early. The next time I met him he asked me if I would like to meet the missionaries, and I was like “There’s missionaries!?” I knew Jesus Christ had built something out of nowhere that I was oblivious about! So the missionaries were all awesome and are still awesome to this day! I still remember their names! Then they taught me and then I got baptized! Yay!	Andy S. Black,		Alberto Velasco
