Jake Healey
- On September 11 th , 1857, a group of Mormon militiamen persuaded a band of passing emigrants to march down a trail in Mountain Meadows, Utah. Under the pretense of protection and following the orders of their local Church leaders, these militiamen proceeded to execute 120 men, women, and children. This actually happened. And we Mormons need to know that it happened. Over the last 160 years, many apologists, seeking to combat anti-Mormon sentiment, have tried to explain or rationalize away the event. At one point, stories suggested the train of Arkansas emigrants had deliberately poisoned a spring and an ox...
FHE: Prayer
Shauna Gibby
- Conference Talk: Perhaps the most important reason we should pray is because the Lord has told us to. Prayer is a way to communicate with our Heavenly Father. When he sent us to earth, he gave us the opportunity to live by faith, and one of our principal ways to receive instruction, counsel, and direction is through prayer (Gene R.

Scripture: "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive," (Matthew 21:22). Object Lesson: ...

3 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Received My Temple Garment
Katie Lambert
- "Wow, you wear a lot of layers," is probably a strange thing for a doctor to say, but when you're an active, endowed member of the Church, it's true. It was September 2014. I was a newlywed with a badly scratched cornea who was also working on closing the gap between what I thought I knew about temple garments and what I actually knew about them. I felt acutely uncomfortable as the campus doctor had to lift four layers of clothing so he could hear my heartbeat with a stethoscope. Trying not to blink or breathe or do anything that would...

What Happened After an Inactive Mormon Asked Elder Bednar If He Was LDS
Danielle B. Wagner

Bednar and local Church leaders were walking in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, in May when they were approached by a man. “Are you from the Church?” he asked.
