“I enjoyed the intimacy with my family and I’ll never ever forget watching my two boys pass the sacrament in my own home,” Kirby said. “That was one of the most special things I’ve ever been able to experience. To be honest, I wasn’t quite sure how I felt about going back to church because I enjoyed it so much.”

“While I do miss and still love some of the weeks that we get to have the sacrament at home, there’s nothing like gathering with the Saints,” she said. “You can feel that when you are together.”
