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.

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...
