But not necessarily the perfect place for missionaries to find investigators ready for the gospel. "There were actually no members of the Church in the city," Scott explains in "The Little Things" episode of This Is the Gospel podcast. "Basically, we just spent our entire time walking up and down the streets of this beach town looking not only for people to teach but for people to who just lived there because basically everyone was just on vacation." For five months, Scott and his...

Newsroom
- Under threatening skies and with the Apia Samoa Temple in the background, President Russell M. Nelson of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints warned Samoans Saturday night to keep themselves and their children safe. “There are difficult days ahead,” the 94-year-old prophet said at an outdoor devotional in the South Pacific island nation’s capital city. “Please protect your children.

Eva Witesman: Are We Looking for Magic When We Should Be Looking for Miracles?
Eva Witesman
- We are a people of miracles. Every week, perhaps every day, we read stories of miraculous events in the scriptures. Angels, healings, the parting of the Red Sea, five loaves and two fishes feeding a multitude, Jesus walking on water, and the Apostle Peter doing it too. And there, in Matthew 17:20, the promise that “If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” I remember being in Primary and hearing this verse for the first time. My...

Poll: Do You Pray in Public Restaurants?
Jannalee Sandau
- Ever heard of the “Latter-day Saint headache”? I first heard this phrase from my mother when I was growing up. She would tell us funny little stories of going on dates with guys who would close their eyes and put their head in their hand before they ate their meal at a restaurant, as a way to say a quick silent blessing on the food. Situations like this bring up an interesting question: Should you pray over your food when you’re in public? Though the answer may vary for everyone, it's important to understand why we bless our food before deciding...
An Open Letter to 5 Types of Mothers
Lindsey Redfern of Adoption.com
- When most people think of Mother’s Day, they think of cards and flowers and declarations of gratitude. But, for a large population of women, Mother’s Day can be a day of discouragement. On Mother’s Day, we use superlatives a lot. “Best Mom Ever!” “My Angel Mother!” “My mother is perfection personified!” I have yet to find a mother who feels like they are the best mom ever. Short tempers, endless messes, unfinished homework, fatigue, and the struggle to find this mythical creature called “balance” often inflicts a disease I like to call mom guilt. For some moms, hearing on Mother’s Day...
