POW Survivor, Convert: I'd Endure It All Again Just to Have the Book of Mormon
Al R. Young
- Warning: This article contains some war content that might be disturbing for some readers. When my father, Alfred R. Young, was liberated from a Japanese POW camp at the end of World War II, he weighed 90 pounds—scrawny for any man, but skeletal for someone 6-feet 3-inches tall. His weight, however, was only a shadow of concern compared to his mental and emotional condition after 39 months of wartime captivity. He endured two hellship voyages; physical, mental, and emotional starvation; innumerable beatings; forced labor; disease, psychological abuse; isolation; and six months of Allied bombing raids that eventually obliterated his prison camp, devastated Tokyo and Yokohama, and...

- Conference Talk: For more information on this topic read “We Follow Jesus Christ,” by Quentin L. Cook, Ensign , May 2010, 83–86. Thought: As we met with the families in Samoa [where a tsunami had hit], the significance of spiritually going to the higher ground, living a better life, and clinging to saving ordinances was abundantly clear. (Quentin L. Cook, “We Follow Jesus Christ,” Ensign , May 2010, 83–86.) Song: “Sing Your Way Home,” Children’s Songbook, p.193. Scripture: The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day long, and he...

- Conference Talk: For more information on this topic read “Only upon the Principles of Righteousness,” by Larry Y. Wilson, Ensign , May 2012, 103. Thought: Wise parents must weigh when children are ready to begin exercising their own agency in a particular area of their lives. But if parents hold on to all decision-making power and see it as their “right,” they severely limit the growth and development of their children. (Larry Y. Wilson, “Only upon the Principles of Righteousness,” Ensign , May 2012, 103.) Song: “Teach Me to Walk in the Light,” Children’s Songbook , p. 304. Scripture: It...

The Myth About Brigham Young's "This Is the Place" Quote
Casey Paul Griffiths, Mary Jane Woodger, and Susan Easton Black, excerpted from "What You Didn't Know About the 100 Most Important Events in Church History"
- Departing from Fort Laramie, a vanguard company of Saints, including President Brigham Young, trekked across the high plains of Wyoming, passing such landmarks as Independence Rock, Devil’s Gate, and South Pass. During this phase of the journey, the pioneers encountered Jim Bridger, the legendary mountain man who offered advice and encouragement about the unfamiliar territory stretching before them. Bridger spoke optimistically, though cautiously, about the Salt Lake Valley. Wilford Woodruff recorded, “He spoke . . . highly of the great Salt Lake for a settlement,” but warned “there was but one thing that could operate against it . . . that...

Elders Bednar, Cook + 3 Other Apostles Whose Family Life Was Not Picture Perfect
Katie Lambert
- Not everyone grows up in an "ideal" family situation. Death, war, financial insecurity, divorce, Church inactivity, there are many circumstances that can shake a family to its core and try each family member's testimony. No one is entirely immune to difficult family situations like these, including the general authorities of the Church. Though faced with overwhelming hardships and challenges, these general authorities gained a stronger testimony of the Savior and the importance of families while overcoming incredibly trying family situations. Elder Dallin H. Oaks Before Elder Dallin H. Oaks was 8 years old, his father passed away from tuberculosis, leaving his...
How 2 Mormons Created a Canadian Superhero Legend (+ How They Share Their Faith)
Danielle B. Wagner
- Captain Canuck—the Canadian superhero who has his own stamp, maple syrup, TV series, and even an upcoming movie. Created by Latter-day Saints Richard Comely and Ron Leishman, this wholesome hero often prays for strength and guidance in difficult times and represents morals Mormons talk about in Sunday school as he uses his superhuman strength, given to him by aliens, to protect Canada and the world. In fact, Captian Canuck was so virtuous that in the late 1970s one Toronto vendor refused to carry these comics because he felt they were too religious. B ut when missionaries appeared on his doorstep in...
