Most of us want to build "additions" to our lives—more comfort, more security, and more space. But the story of Peter Nielsen and the "Red Bandanna" teaches us a different way. When the St. George Tabernacle needed glass, one man gave up his life savings—the money meant for his own home—to ensure the House of the Lord was finished.

In this video, we explore:
The $600 Red Bandanna: Why Peter Nielsen walked 7 miles in the dark to give away his dream, and why he never regretted his two-room house.
The Master Mason's Sacrifice: The story of the temple mason, John R. Moyle, who carved his own wooden leg after a tragic accident than hiked the 22 miles to carve "Holiness to the Lord" on the Salt Lake Temple.

The Living Temple: How these physical buildings represent the spiritual building we are doing within ourselves today.

As Tyler Griffin reflects on these teachings from Elder Holland, we are reminded that God never stays in our debt. Every sacrifice made in faith is an investment in a "mansion" far greater than anything we could build on earth.

If you are struggling with a trial or wondering if your sacrifices matter, these stories of grit and "Holiness to the Lord" will give you the strength to keep walking.
