The night before her husband’s funeral in January 2017, Primary General President Susan H. Porter remembers snow beginning to fall. By the time she and her family woke up the next morning, “there was a lot of snow,” she recalled.
“One of our sons ran upstairs and said, ‘Mom, we got a problem. The kids that were on the floor, [their] sleeping bags are soaking wet. We can see water just running down the glass door.’ I ran down to take a look, but there was nothing anybody could do other than get ready and go.”
President Porter detailed this experience in a new video released by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on June 28 titled “Never Alone Through Jesus Christ.” She spoke of the overwhelming season of grief and uncertainty after losing her husband, Elder Bruce D. Porter, General Authority Seventy, and how she learned she is never truly alone.
