How I Overcame Sexual Intimacy Problems as an LDS Newlywed
Anonymous
- I’ll be the first person to admit: I got married young. I was engaged at 18, early in my second semester of my freshman year at college, and married by 19. I was also the first of my siblings to be married and the first of my friends. In fact, the first wedding I ever attended as an adult was my own. Like many young LDS adults, I looked forward to my wedding and all the exciting changes it meant mentally, emotionally, and physically. I had no idea that I was signing on for a yearlong journey that would test my...
How to Survive Your Trek Experience
Amanda Taylor and Rhett Wilkinson
- Pioneer treks are a common summer activity for Church members around the world, allowing them to experience, if even partially, the challenges the earliest pioneers faced in searching for religious freedom in the 1800s. Opportunities abound to learn how suffering and sacrifice brings one close to the Savior. Walking in the pioneers’ footsteps, participants can feel empathy for those who heeded the call to gather to Zion. “It’s important to remember the pioneers and what they did, because without them, we wouldn’t have the Church like it is today,” says 15-year-old Jenna Rasmussen, who embarked on a pioneer trek with her...
6 Ways to Improve Your Temple Experience
Arianna Rees
- A few weeks ago, I had a very mediocre temple visit. I was stressed about all of the things on my “to do” list, and had a nasty headache, so needless to say, by the time I went inside, I felt frazzled. I drummed my fingers impatiently on my armrest, and when the session ended, zipped out as fast as I could. It wasn’t until I was in my car driving home that the remorse set in and I realized that I had spiritually wasted my trip. I’ve tried to make a habit of going to the temple weekly, but every...

What Prophets and Apostles Have Said About Angels Who Are Around About Us, Leading Us
Donald W. Parry, adapted from "Angels: Agents of Light, Love, and Power"
- President Thomas S. Monson, in addressing the women of the Church in April 2005, gave evidence of his loving nature: “My dear sisters, may God bless you. We love you; we pray for you.” President Monson’s words reiterated a significant teaching: “Remember that you do not walk alone. The Lord has promised you: ‘I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up.’”1 In at least three general conference addresses, President Monson has also declared, “How...
John Taylor's Pocket Watch Saving His Life + Other Popular Myths About the Early Church You Thought Were True
Kate Ensign-Lewis
- Three Nephites. Bigfoot. President Spencer W. Kimball as a model for Yoda. Alice Cooper as a Mormon. Precious fine china crushed to help make the stucco of the Kirtland Temple. You wouldn’t expect that some of our most beloved stories would be considered part of myth and folklore. But while researching an article about Mormon myths, I was surprised to find that a couple famous stories about the early Church may not have happened like we thought. (Although some, of course, did.) Kirtland Temple Stucco Kirtland Temple, photo from Wikipedia, by John Hamer. An oft-told story in Mormondom relates how the...
20 Disney GIFs That Perfectly Sum Up Trek
Danielle B. Wagner
- Ahhh trek. That Mormon right of passage that no one can successfully explain to people who haven't had this unique experience. Yes, we pack up handcarts, don bonnets and wide-brimmed hats, and walk across the desert. But there's so much more to trek than that. To help explain, here are a few Disney GIFs to explain all of the tumultuous emotions, the fatigue, the testimonies, and the experiences that sum up trek. For more funny trek moments we can all relate to, check out the family-fun hit Trek: The Movie , which was written by the writer of Galaxy Quest. That moment when...
Church to Make "Significant Changes" to LDS Hymnbook and Children's Songbook
Mormon Newsroom
- Two books of sacred music published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are about to undergo significant changes. An official notice has been sent to Church leaders around the world announcing a revision to “Hymns” and the “Children’s Songbook” used in worship services. "Along with prayer and the scriptures, hymns invite the Spirit into our hearts and strengthen our testimonies of Jesus Christ and His gospel," said Elder Ronald A. Rasband of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. "We recognize the power that sacred music has to unify the members of the Church throughout the world," added Elder Rasband....
How a Blind LDS Attorney Who Adopted Blind Triplets Found the Gospel, Eternal Family
Yvonne Liu
- At a fast and testimony meeting, a father leads the way to the pulpit with a cane in his hand. His three sons follow, their hands on each other’s shoulders and canes in hand, too. They each stand and bear a heartfelt testimony of the divinity of the Savior and the promise of eternal families. But, just eight years ago, these four men were not members of the same family. In 2010, blind lawyer and former White House staffer Ollie Cantos never thought he would be the father of triplets—until he met Steven, Nick, and Leo. The initial visit became the...
