- An address given by Darren Butterfield, delivered December 10, 2024, at Ensign College.
Darren Butterfield was born in Bountiful, Utah 9 minutes after his identical twin brother, David. He grew up in West Jordan, Utah with 4 brothers and a sister. After serving a Spanish-speaking mission in Ventura, California, he attended BYU-Provo, where he taught Spanish at the Missionary Training Center for 3 years and Seminary for 1. During this time, he met his celestial companion, Ms. Jerilyn Johnson, and the two of them were married in the Salt Lake Temple on June 8, 1991.
After obtaining his bachelor’s degree in Spanish and Business, Brother Butterfield began his career at Covey Leadership Center, where he coordinated public programs and leadership development training for Fortune 500 companies. During this time he was blessed with 3 beautiful children: Spencer, Taylor, and Brooklyn.
In 1997, Brother Butterfield and his family moved to Roseville, California to pursue a career in Human Resources while obtaining a master’s degree in organizational management. Following graduation, 2 colleges invited him to teach business and communication courses. Soon thereafter, Brother Butterfield’s 2 classes turned into 9, and before long his career changed from Human Resources to Higher Education.
About this time, 2 more children were added to the family: Alisha and Tanner.
In July 2012, the spirit prompted Brother Butterfield to return to Zion and continue his career in higher education with, then LDS Business College. He has been serving as the Learning Management System Director and as an Adjunct Professor ever since.
Beautifull poem
Oh I'd let Jesus come anytime in my house!! I love Jesus, I adore him.
Foi um lindo dia para Jesus Cristo estar no templo hoje. Havia um espírito de paz harmonia e amor entre todos. Até pude imaginar seria assim...❤
Com o mundo cheio de incertezas e cheio de insegurança e a igreja segura afastada do mundo com o alicerce em Jesus Cristo no plano do Pai Celestial nos lideres e nos profetas. Por mais humilde que tenho que me esforçar para estar diante do Senhor e acho que nunca será possível uma tradução exata com palavras escritas. Eu me regozijo no Senhor no amor do Pai Celestial e no Salvador sentir que posso confiar sempre Neles e me esforço para Eles confiarem em mim me faz sentir alegria na minha mente e no meu coração ❤

I realize that my story will not fit very well with your talk but I can’t help but share it. Our young family was having FHE and this was the subject: “If you opened your front door and Jesus stood there, what would you say?” Our family had seven children, six girls and one boy. Our son’s name was Keith. The girls all gave lovely , spiritual answers. When it was Keith’s turn, he said, “Do you have any boys where you come from?” We had a baby girl just a few months old. Her name was Samantha, after her grandpa Sam.
A year later I was expecting again. Keith went around telling Everyone that his mama was going to give him a baby brother for his birthday. The new baby was due on his birthday. For months he said this. When people told Keith that it might not happen. But Keith was adamant, “My mama is going to have a baby boy for my birthday.”
Well, the day before his birthday I went into labor. A few hours later I gave birth to a healthy baby boy. The hospital let me go home after 24 hours. So the next day I went home. And it was on Keith’s sixth birthday. 🎂
Precious ❤
