From a young age growing up in a Catholic home, Fred had strong desires to become a priest, but several years into his studies he realized that he had a lot more questions than answers.

Fortunately, through a series of inspired events, Fred was able to find the answers he was looking for in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and has been a faithful member ever since.

As a professional therapist, the gospel has helped Dr. Dodini to help many of his clients to view their lives from a different, higher, and holier perspective. These ideas and perspectives are so valuable that he wrote a book about them, titled "Shine Brighter: Choosing a Life of Greater Clarity, Purpose, and Joy".

When Michele Green was a little girl living in Vietnam, her town was brutally attacked by escaped convicts from a nearby prison, and most of her family were killed, including her parents.

Now an orphan, Michele's life looked bleak. But God had a plan for her that eventually led her to the gospel, and ultimately to the United States.

With her new found faith, Michele got married and raised an amazing family; however, more trials and tragedy waited in the wings, including various bouts with cancer - one of which led to the loss of a son, a tragic car accident that took the life of another, and a debilitating stroke that left her husband incapacitated for 21 years - forcing her to become his primary caregiver while working full-time and raising their 9 children.
