As Latter-day Saints, we have been encouraged repeatedly by our leaders to stay out of debt and prepare for emergencies--most famously by gathering a year's supply of food.

Mormon Mia Love hopes to become the first black Republican woman in Congress

Washington Post - Other than her conservatism, there is little about Mia Love that doesn’t stand out in Utah. She is a black Republican, a 36-year-old mother of three, a fitness instructor and mayor of a growing town. Now, her congressional race against a popular incumbent whom Republicans have struggled to defeat has made Love a minor celebrity among GOP stalwarts. She recently introduced herself to a group of teachers, standing in the gilded state Capitol, which historically has been the domain of white men, by describing her Haitian American father. ...

Motherhood Matters - Summer is just around the corner, and I don’t know about you, but I can hardly wait! I love having my kids all to myself during the summer months and having the freedom to do our own thing on our own schedule. Speaking of schedules, most experienced moms have found that their summers go much smoother when there is one (a schedule, that is, and both April and Saren wrote great articles about that here and here), and many of those same moms have also discovered there are easy ways to incorporate learning into all that summer fun. We’ve all heard...

LDS charity groups are blessing lives

Deseret News - Yao Zhang has a benefactor to thank for helping him gain a college education, but he will never know the person’s identity. Born in Myanmar to a Chinese family, Zhang was not recognized as a Burmese citizen, which limited his educational opportunities.

While there, his mission president encouraged him to apply for admission at Brigham Young University-Hawaii following his mission. Zhang did, and doors of opportunity opened for him to get...

BYU poll: Mormons excited about Romney’s rise, but wary of media

Salt Lake Tribune - Most Utah Mormons believe Mitt Romney’s rise to become the likely GOP presidential nominee is a good thing for the LDS Church. But many do not trust the media to cover their faith fairly, according to a new poll released this week. The study, conducted by Key Research and Brigham Young University’s Center for the Study of Elections and Democracy, is believed to be the first to gauge Mormons’ reaction to Romney’s barrier-breaking achievement. He is the first Latter-day Saint to clinch the presidential nomination of a major U.S. political party. ...
