Seabeagle_Jr Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 I grew up in Tacoma,WA. After my mission in New Jersey; I lived in Everette, WA for 5 years. Then moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. After I lost my first job at Microsoft Corporation in Redmond, WA. I moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. I stayed with my parents until I get back on my feet. That was back in 1997.Spring of 1997. I went to the Temple Square alot when I was single. I could remember walking around the Temple square in the earlier morning; where not to many traffic going on. It was peaceful, and quiet. I walked by the Tablernalce building, and I thought I heard mormon choir singing in the tablernalce building. I looked through the old windows at that building. There was no one there. Then I step down, and I started to hear the chior again. Then I looked around and see no else notice the angels singing. Then I walked around the building. Again I keep hearing choir singing. So I looked through the window, and no one there. Then I went off to the other building, and didn't hear the choir singing. I truly beleive in Angels. That morning I went to take a tour at one of building. I sat down and watch a movie. I have not felted the spirit so strong in my life. I was crying, and the spirit touched my heart that morning. That I was crying on the way home, it was hard for me to see when I drove. I didn't really gain a testimony on my mission. I was told by my friend; that It takes certain people longer to gain a testimony. It took me almost 4 yeats after my mission. Ever since that expereince I had other wanderful expeinces I had at the Seattle Temple, and Jordan River Temple. I met my sweet heart in Brermerton, WA. Then got married in Seattle,WA. Then we moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. I know in my heart no doubt about it. There are Angels in certain places that they prophets set apart. If you stand still, and listen; you might see some angels around special places. I know that the 'Book of Mormon is true, that the prophet Joseph Smith did restore the gospel for us.Take Care,Jared House Omaha, Neb Quote

Honor Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) I've had a similar experience. I won't go into details, but when I was single, I also spent a lot of time on Temple Square. I was in the North West Visitors Center one night looking at the paintings and writing in my journal about a particular trial. A missionary approached me and asked if I was interested in watching Testaments. The last show for the night was going to be starting and they were passing out tickets. As I walked from the Visitors Center toward the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, passing the Tabernacle, I heard the choir singing, "Where Can I Turn For Peace". I peaked in the windows and saw nothing. Then I looked up and noticed the speakers on the under side of the eves. I think what I heard was being played over the sound system, but that particular hymn was what I needed to hear that night. So, I'm sorry brother, I don't know if it was the voices of angels that you heard that night, but I have had experiences where Heavenly Father knew what I needed and when at particular points in my life, and sometimes put me in the right place at the right time so that my heart could be touched, finding the courage to make changes that I needed to or to have the strength to hang on through a trial.

pam Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 I think that's why I absolutely love the Alabama song Angels Among Us. Quote
Misshalfway Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 I believe in angels! Both kinds. I believe there are those amongst us who are angels in the way they serve and the lives they influence and I believe that there are unseen beings on the other side of the veil who visit our realm for specific purposes. I can't begin to know what all those purposes might be. I think that for some at certain times the veil becomes thin and for others such as Joseph Smith, there are even personal visitations. I love that song too Pam. Now I am gonna be singing it in my head today. :) Quote
pam Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 I believe that as well Miss 1/2. Hey there are worse songs you could have in your head all day. Quote
