Jr. Taimi – From Gangs & Prison, to Baptism & Temple Covenants
Jr. Taimi’s life was drugs and gangs when he was just a kid. He was incarcerated for a crime he didn’t commit, lost his mom while he was in prison, and experienced many other heartbreaking tragedies. After coming home from prison, he was at the dinner table with his family and his daughter said a prayer that would change the course of his life. He knew that wherever she learned to pray like that was somewhere he wanted to be. Jr. met with the missionaries and debated the church’s teachings with them. When he learned about eternal families, and gained the knowledge that he could see his mom again, he knew he wanted to be baptized and 3 years later, he and his wife Asia were sealed in the temple. They now run a group home in St. George, UT, & give back to kids who struggle. They say the difference in their program, is that they treat everyone who enters like children of God.
