5 of my favorite moments from spending 48 minutes with the Holland family
Lindsey Williams
- RootsTech Family Discovery Day has looked very similar for years—thousands of eyes on the massive stage at the Salt Palace, a beloved Church leader or leaders sharing an inspiring message, and a broadcast enabling those not in attendance physically to experience a taste of connection. But in 2021, Family Discovery Day looked different. The in-person audience for Elder Jeffrey R. Holland’s and Sister Patricia Holland’s remarks was small. But the members of that audience included those who are most important to the Hollands—their own children. The backdrop of Family Discovery Day is southern Utah, and through video, photographs, and a tour...
Led to the Savior: How Sister Aburto found healing from both sides of the veil after tragedy
Lindsey Williams
- Editor's note: This article is the cover story of the March/April 2021 issue of LDS Living magazine. To the average person, the date of October 15, 1989, might not hold much significance. But for Sister Reyna I. Aburto, this day changed her life forever. And it all started with the moment she chose to reach for the Savior. Living in San Francisco, California, 26-year-old Reyna had just been through a painful final separation from her first husband and was doing the best she could to provide for herself and for her 3-year-old son, Xavier. Though her days were full and busy,...
‘The most important thing taking place on earth today’: Why the gathering of Israel matters
Elder Gerald N. Lund, excerpted from “The Second Coming of the Lord”
- A worldwide devotional for youth took place just three months after President Nelson had been sustained and set apart as the seventeenth President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Although it was billed for the youth of the Church, there was a lot of excitement about the broadcast, and I wanted to hear what President Nelson had to say. After some preliminary welcoming remarks, he challenged the youth to do “the necessary spiritual work” that would bring personal revelation. But what came next took me aback a little. “Now, we would like to talk with you about the...
This mobile bakery is bringing bread and hope to displaced people in Syria
Newsroom of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
- Hungry refugees in Syria are receiving food in an unusual way, thanks to a collaborative effort between the Greek Catholic Church and Latter-day Saint Charities. Armed conflict in the region has displaced millions of people and food shortages have caused great suffering. Now, however, a mobile bakery that can be moved about to supply freshly baked bread is feeding tens of thousands of people every day. Mike and Liz Freckleton, Latter-day Saint Charities representatives, described the impetus for creating the bakery: “Our good friend Mother Agnes, who’s the Abbot of a Syrian monastery, has worked for years to bring relief to...
The ultimate victory: How the death of Jesus Christ was a triumph, according to one BYU professor
John Hilton III, excerpted from “Considering the Cross”
- Imagine watching a sporting event in which you care deeply about the outcome. What if you knew from the outset that no matter how far behind your team was, no matter how many mistakes your favorite player made, no matter how bleak things looked, your team would win? You would probably feel less anxiety during the game. Although you still might experience an array of emotions, you could watch the event with happy anticipation, feeling safe in the known outcome. We can relate this analogy to the plan of redemption. Some of us live in a constant state of worry, troubled...

OCD, God, and me: One woman's experience with scrupulosity
Whitney Vogrinec, Contributor
- Growing up, my family held family home evenings (FHE) that felt more like listening to a general conference talk than the usual games and short lessons I saw in friends’ homes. And while I am now grateful that those lessons taught me the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ, I also recognize that as a young girl, I understood those things as a child. 1 Over time, however, my mind morphed the principles I’d learned in FHE to crushing ideals I could never reach. I kept on as best I could, until two years ago when I knew going on...
Watch: Sister Craven and Brother Wilcox answer question, ‘Is it bad to participate in the Church out of a sense of duty?’
LDS Living
- Colby is a teenager approaching adulthood and he has a question: Is it bad to participate in the Church out of a sense of duty? “It seems like there’s a set plan that we’re supposed to follow: Mission, BYU . . ., marriage, and children, in that order. It just seems like a wall of expectations that you’re supposed to climb and if you don’t quite measure up to that then there’s something wrong with you or you’re not as strong in your testimony as you should be,” Colby explains. His question is a part of the Real Questions series ....
Adapting and thriving in the new normal: 4 ways missionaries are sharing the gospel during the pandemic
Norman C. Hill, Contributor
- The COVID-19 pandemic has practically turned the world upside down, including the world of missionary work. With many missionaries having to spend more time in their apartments and navigate other social restrictions to their work, they need to find new ways of sharing the gospel. As the Savior said, “Neither do men put new wine into old bottles, else the bottles break and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved” ( Matthew 9:17 ). Yes, new wine in new bottles—that’s something that we can all get behind. Elder...
