50 Trunk-or-Treat Decorating Ideas You Wish You Had Time For
Kelsey Berteaux
- While the origins of "trunk-or-treating" are a mystery, the benefits of them are well-known: less walking for little kids, a safer environment for Halloween, and fun for everyone! While many Latter-day Saint Stakes sponsor these events in various places around the U.S., if you've never had a chance to trunk-or-treat, try starting one in your ward or community this year. The best part of this fun tradition? Decorating your car's trunk to match a specific theme you choose. Some people keep it simple, and others go all out. The "trick" to it seems to be finding something you're passionate about—or have...
Rescuing Children from Sex Slavery: One Latter-day Saint's Inspired Mission
Jamie Armstrong
- EDITOR’S NOTE: This article addresses the atrocity of child sex slavery—one of the fastest growing and most lucrative criminal industries in the world today. While we have made every effort to avoid graphic language, this article might be disturbing for some readers. In 2014, on a balmy February afternoon in the poverty-stricken country of Haiti, Timothy Ballard was thrown to the ground and handcuffed by local law enforcement. Lifting his head from the asphalt, he watched as the woman who just sold him two young children—a brother and sister ages 2 and 3—for $15,000 apiece was hauled away by police. Little...
What the Apostles Looked Like as Babies and Children
Danielle B. Wagner
- We hear stories of the apostles' childhoods nearly every general conference. Common sense tells us that before they were leaders of the Church, they were little kids who ran and played, dreamed and made mistakes, joked and scraped their knees—just like all of us. But, sometimes that reality is hard to imagine. We've learned that before becoming judges, professors, pilots, and incredible priesthood leaders, President Dallin H. Oaks helped support his widowed mother and younger siblings after his father died of tuberculosis and President Dieter F. Uchtdorf managed to finally catch the eye of a certain lovely woman—now his wife Harriet—by...
What Latter-day Saints Should Know About Christopher Columbus and the Restoration
Clark B. Hinckley, excerpted from "Christopher Columbus: A Man Among the Gentiles"
- At noon on the Ides of March, 1493, a small wooden ship rode the rising tide up the Río Tinto and into the harbor of Palos, Spain. She wasn’t much of a ship—her deck was only about 55 feet long. She was weathered but solidly built and appeared to be newly caulked. She was named the Santa Clara, but was usually called the Niña after her owner, Juan Niño of Moguer. The Niña had last been seen in Palos on August 3, 1492, sailing down the ebb tide with two other ships, the Santa María and the Pinta as part of...

Church Answers: Why Is Newsroom Still MormonNewsroom.org?
Newsroom
- When President Russell M. Nelson announced the need to correct usage of the full name of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he concluded with this clarification: “Additional information about this important matter will be made available in the coming months.” Less than two months later, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir changed its name to the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square . Other Church websites and materials will be updated in coming weeks and months. President Nelson and other Church leaders understand that a change this significant requires careful consideration, coordination and planning. Newsroom, like other Church channels, is following...
How Deciding Not to Serve a Mission Impacted My Testimony
Lindsey Miller
- I was sitting on my couch, most likely half asleep, when I heard President Monson’s voice say , “I am pleased to announce that effective immediately all worthy and able young men who have graduated from high school or its equivalent, regardless of where they live, will have the option of being recommended for missionary service at the age of 18, instead of age 19.” My heart jumped into my throat and I was wide awake. I had just started my sophomore year of high school and knew plenty of seniors and their poor moms who were probably freaking out more...
"Is There No Blessing for Me?" The Incredible Conversion and Life of Jane Elizabeth Manning James
Katie Lambert
- Shuffling through dirt and mud, stumbling over cold stones that rubbed their skin raw, Jane Elizabeth Manning James and her family inched toward Nauvoo, Illinois, barefoot. It was 1843; James was one of the first black converts to the Church and lived in a time where some people saw her as property first and a human being second. That was the very reason James and her six family members were walking 800 miles to Nauvoo in late fall with shoes that had long since worn to useless strips. While journeying with Charles Wesley Wandell, the missionary who had baptized James in...
