LDS Flow A comprehensive online experience for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
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! | Pete | LeAnn Carreola | |

| 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 |

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 couldnāt 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 couldnāt 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 donāt 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 | |

| Several years ago, I had a very difficult pregnancy. Many people stepped in to help. My parents and my husbandās 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 Lordās 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.

| 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 hospitalā¦ 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.

| 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. š | Anonymous | Claudine Furniss | |

| 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 wasnāt 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 ājust a good person who wanted to help one of Heavenly Fatherās familiesā. | Anonymous | Nancy Bowns | |

| 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 |

| 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 wasnāt 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 hereās 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 heās running a business? His first answer was so candid and simple that he just replied ābecause I have a business!ā I had said a short reply and left him alone thinking to myself āI wonder what type of business he has and why he always looks so happy about it?ā. So the week after that I had met him again, so then I asked him āwhat is this business yours?ā Without expecting much about his answer he said āmy business? Itās church!ā. So then I replied āso that book you keep holding and walking around is not a ledger!?ā. He said āno itās a Book of Mormon.ā And I was like ābook of what?ā. Then we talked, and I was happy to know that heās a devout follower of Jesus Christ, but I still didnāt 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 āThereās missionaries!?ā 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 | |

| Over Memorial Day weekend, Northwest Arkansas was hit with 7 tornados, all from 1 thunderstorm. The stakes in the area, including mine, cancelled services that day and the members spent the day and the following day helping with the clean up. We even had other stakes from outside of the affected area come to help.. Just neighbors helping neighbors they haven't met yet. It was a beautiful thing and I'm glad I had the opportunity to be part of it. I was impressed with how quickly the respective Relief Societies organized clean up events, that my friends is the power of social media. | Relief Societies | Mary Barrett | |
| I have one more that was a Christmas miracle. Many years ago when my children were small and still at home, we were trying our best to get by on my little substitute teacher pay while my husband was going to college for a career change. Christmas was approaching and I was concerned about my children not having any gifts to open. I prepared them by explaining the situation to them, so if they only received one small gift they would understand. One night there was a knock at the door. In walked the Bishopbric and their arms were full of presents. It brought me to tears. Then a few days later more presents came for the kids from my parents who live across the country, then more presents from my inlaws. The joy on my children's faces that Christmas was priceless. | Bishopbric | Mary Barrett | |

| When my husband and I had our first baby he passed away a young couple in our ward in Montana named Cleat and Maggie literally dragged us out of our house everyday for the first couple month to do something even when we just wanted to sit at home in the dark. They took us for ice cream, walks, and anything they could think of. At that time it drove me crazy but they saved us from our deep grief. They blessed us to see the good in the world and to remember the plan of salvation. Twenty four years later I still think back to those dark days and fondly remember the light they brought to our lives. | Cleat and Maggie | Montanna | Brenda Piippo |
| Last winter during our 20th anniversary, my husband was assigned to job sites out of town while I was left alone. Neither of us were happy about the timing, but work is a blessing. I try to stay busy by serving others as part of my regular activities but I was very lonely without my sweetheart. One night I heard a knock at the door. I thought it might be the Sister missionaries, but it was the Centreville Virginia 2nd Ward combined youth group and they sang Christmas carols to me. They didn't know Christmas carols are my favorite, but Somebody knew and someone else was tuned in and it made a big difference. šā¤ļø | combined youth group | Centreville Virginia 2nd Ward | Elisabeth Gawthrop |

| helped me to see differently in my stuffing for over 40 years. To remember to pray for His help, after our sacrament meeting I was crying because I suffer 24/7 from pain. After almost 40 years of being in the church, I know Father hears me and knows me personally, I testified that the gospel is true and my Savior is mindful of me and I know we have A LIVING PROPHET and Apostles to guide us in these hard times. I sometime FORGET that the answer to enduring, is as simple as prayer, for WHATEVER IT IS ! I have a firm TESTIMONY That GOD is beside me as He was with His Only Begotten Son, while he suffered for us. She bore her testimony that Heavenly Father answers prayer.

They may never know how drastically this beautiful act of unselfish kindness changed our lives for the better. | Elderly Missionary Couple | Maxine Page Hamblin | |

| Priesthood holders gave me a blessing regarding a health issue I have. At least one of them asks me about the progress in healing. Also, the hugs after I am able to walk to the front and give my testimony. BTW, the blessing is working, I got a "talking to" through the Holy Ghost from Father about changes he want me to make in taking better care of my body and finances. So grateful to know He knows me and desires to give me instructions when I cannot seem to come up with better ones for myself. | Priesthood Holders | Jill Guilford | |
| We had the misfortune of having Fraudsters compromise our bank account. I was traumatized by this situation and my dear friend Catherine felt my pain. Sheās the mother of three tiny kiddos, but as soon as she could she came and brought me gorgeous flowers from her yard and sat with me as I shared with her the events of that horrible day. She listened and empathized and let me cry. She is truly an angel and a blessing in my life!!! | Catherine | Riverton Utah. | Laura Stumph Nixon |
