A Sacred Witness in Seoul – Winter 2025

In the freezing winter of 2025, I found myself in the heart of Seoul for my eighth temple trip, visiting the Seoul Korea Temple. Tucked away within layers of residential buildings and surrounded by rows of winter trees, the temple stood quietly like a hidden jewel in the middle of the city. Despite the bitter cold, my heart was warm as I stepped onto the sacred grounds. Once again, I had the privilege of standing as a witness as faithful Saints performed baptisms on behalf of their ancestors. In the quiet baptismal font, I heard the familiar, sacred words: "Having been commissioned of Jesus Christ, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
