Family Home Avenging
MR says: This dad's likening of Book of Mormon prophets to the Avengers is kind of funny. We liked it. Last night I finally took the entire family to see The Avengers. For FHE. What? Yes, once in a while we go crazy on Monday night. It can't all be profound teaching and testimonies. It was also nice to go a...
Young men need mentors to realize and fulfill their duty to God
Leaders of young men throughout the Church enjoy a sacred privilege and opportunity to help the boys they serve to realize and fulfill their duty to God. That was the message emphasized at the May 10 spring training for Young Men adult leaders. The annual training originated from the Bountiful...
Viewpoint: Making the most of the Mormon Moment
My last companion in Australia was Elder William Hopoate — one of the most famous rugby all-stars in Australia. When he turned down millions of dollars to serve a Mormon mission, it went viral. As we served together, I realized his influence did much more than simply touch the people he came in...
Church Honored in Spain for Blood Drive Promotion
The Spanish Federation of Blood Donors in Spain is honoring The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) for its positive contribution to improve people’s lives through the donation of blood. This is the second time the Church has been awarded the National Merit in Blood Donation for...
Brazilian Youth Connect Family History, Temple Work
José A. Moscão was noticing a trend: the youth who were coming to the Campinas Brazil Temple had a lot of “down time.” Brother Moscão, the director of the family history center located adjacent to the Campinas Temple, knew that because of the distance many youth had to travel to get to...
Saints in Mexico Learn from Apostle’s Visit
Mexico holds a special place in the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The first Mormon missionaries to visit Mexico in 1876 found a people ready to hear the gospel, and in 2004 Mexico became the first country outside the United States to reach a membership of 1,000,000...
Mormon temple in Carmel will be a draw
A new Mormon temple that will begin rising in Carmel this fall will draw not only the curious, but potentially thousands of faithful pilgrims across the state. Officials with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are likely to re-draw geographic boundaries that currently send about...
Stay-at-home mothers find challenge, reward in raising their children
When she turned in a job application, Nichole Whiting always knew what the job entailed. The exception is her current position: Stay-at-home mom, which many feel isn't work at all. It has been, she said, the most rewarding and challenging of positions. The New York City woman has come to view...
Mormon Media Observer: Are Mormons really more successful in business?
MR says: Do you think Mormons especially excel in business? Steve Martin isn’t a Latter-day Saint. Neither is Adam Sandler. Neither is Apple’s Tim Cook, nor Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg. But many well-known people are. It seems a common tactic in the news media to pick successful Latter-day Saints...
Why I'm a Mormon
MR says: The review is a little edgy, but the author is sincere and convincing. I normally try to avoid hearing what other people think about a book before reviewing it—but in the case of Why I’m a Mormon, someone else’s reaction was the reason I wanted to read it. I was in a Deseret Book store in...
Elder Bednar’s Promise
I started indexing this year, after my stake president talked about it in conference. It was a steep learning curve for me at first; I felt clumsy deciphering the handwriting and stressed about entering wrong information and wrecking the index for some poor searcher. But I’ve gotten better at it,...
LDS missionaries help with N.C. Day of Service food drive
LDS missionaries provided hours of service during the multi-city, dual-stake Day of Service here this year. Mormon missionaries helped unload and sort donations at food bank drop-off cites throughout the...
The Disciple of Christ and Politics
In a recent post I talked about the Church and the various political parties. In this post, I want to focus more on the duties of individual disciples who also want to be politically engaged citizens. Jesus taught us that we should render to God the things that were God's while giving Caesar his...
Bloggernacle Back Bench: Introducing two new Q&A tools
Last week I saw a tweet fly by from @ldschurch: “A new online resource will help answer gospel questions about our faith and bring others to Christ.” I was intrigued. Clicking in, I found a page dedicated to “Answering Gospel Questions,” which includes some timely “Principles for...
My husband Alex Boye receives worldwide feedback from Book of Mormon Challenge
My husband Alex Boye gets to sing on the beautiful red cliffs of St. George with the Piano Guys. I get to sing "Wheels on the Bus." Alex wipes his feet on the welcome mat of the producer's mansion before entering. You know what I...
