LDS.org
- To purchase garment styles, visit a Distribution Services store or store.lds.org. The women’s stretch cotton garment line is being extended to include maternity styles, a nursing top, and a midcalf bottom, available immediately in the U.S. and Canada.

Why We Need to Be Careful About How We Use the Phrase "Choosing to Be Offended"
Jessica Grimaud
- Apples to Apples is no fun and games; Apples to Apples is serious business . At least, that’s what it feels like when I play against my competitive family. Though my husband is equally competitive, he still lost Apples to Apples every time we played with my family. Then one day he had an epiphany: “I realized I’ve been playing it wrong. I put down the card that I would pick. I don’t really consider what I think the other person I’m playing to would pick,” he told me. I jokingly replied, “ Duh , everyone knows that.” But then I...

Peter, James, and John followed with keys of the higher priesthood; after the completion of the Kirtland Temple, Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery received further keys, including the power...

Jessica Grimaud
- Sparks. Over and over again just sparks . I sat on my makeshift camping chair (a large, fallen branch) for two hours striking “flint” (a rock I found in the woods) with my steel buffalo striker, rubbing my knuckles raw, and nothing . I sighed and leaned against the tree behind me. Three months prior I had signed up for a wilderness survival class, and that night I was supposed to prove my ability to survive alone in the woods. What kind of survivalist can’t start a fire with flint and steel? But the inadequacy I felt extended beyond my worries...
