Rod and Carol Kimball’s love story is a beautiful testament of faith, family, and eternal covenants. From their humble beginnings—Rod as the oldest son in a large Provo family raised by Crozier Rodney and LeNeve Martin Kimball, and Carol born in wartime Arizona into a faithful Latter-day Saint home—they each learned to love the gospel of Jesus Christ. Their paths crossed at BYU, leading to a temple marriage that became the foundation for a lifetime of love and service.
Together they raised nine children, faced trials with courage, served missions (including in Johannesburg, South Africa), worked in the temple, and built a legacy of faith that echoes through generations. Their story moves from childhood memories and early marriage to travels, grandchildren, and a golden 50th anniversary—all woven with tender letters, personal reflections, and an unwavering commitment to the Savior.
For Kimball family descendants and every Latter-day Saint who cherishes eternal families, Our Life: A Story of Forever is more than a memoir. It is a living witness that ordinary lives, when centered on Christ and temple covenants, become extraordinary stories of forever. Rod and Carol invite every reader to hold fast to the gospel and build their own legacy of faith, love, and joy.
