"I love Sunday nights with the fam!" Jordon LeBaron posted on Facebook, along with a stunning video of his family singing "One Day More" from the musical Les Miserables. Each part, from Jean Valjean and Cosette to Madame Thenardier and the Ghost of Fantine, is incredibly executed by a member of the family. And although several of them studied music and theater in college, the collection of talent displayed during an informal family gathering is pretty impressive.

I think I really started to believe that the Church was true when I was finishing reading the Book of Mormon for the first time. When I read the scriptures, the words about prayer really stood out to me. I could see there were people who truly had conversations with God. After I completely read through the Book of Mormon, I saw Moroni’s challenge to pray and ask God yourself. His words were so convincing. Moroni already knew this was true, but he challenged people at the end of the Book of Mormon to ask for themselves if this book was true and see if God would give them an answer. It was humbling to read what he had to say and to take on that challenge. I had to get up enough courage to ask God if this was real and if it was true. And the great thing is that I did learn for myself that the Book of Mormon is true!

"Ridiculous." "Gross." "Contemptible." These are just a few words early critics of the Book of Mormon used to describe this sacred text. While some are critical of the Book of Mormon's authenticity, the sophistication of these sacred scriptures shows its complexity.

Kim Burgon recalls the highlight of a family trip to Disneyland in 1959 when he was just 8 years old, and it wasn’t the rides. It was a time-lapse video of Disneyland’s Main Street, U.S.A., being constructed. The time-lapse concept fascinated Burgon, who was already interested in buildings and architecture. That little-known Walt Disney movie would become the inspiration for a video Burgon would make nearly 20 years later of the Jordan River Temple being constructed—a video that is being shown at the Jordan River Temple open house for the first time in several decades. But this impressive, historic film did not come about without its share of miracles, testimony, and work.
