My wife’s ancestors Parshall and Hannah Terry lived in Palmyra, New York, and knew the Prophet Joseph Smith. Their son Jacob was the exact same age as Joseph and was his schoolmate and friend. In 1817, three years before the First Vision, the Terry family moved from New York to Canada and lost contact with the Smiths until 1837, when missionaries taught them. The family was amazed to learn about all that had transpired with the Smith family. The Terrys were baptized the following year and moved to Missouri, anxious to reconnect with their friends the Smiths. Instead, they got there just in time to be expelled from the state because of the extermination order.

Gail Miller, owner of the NBA’s Utah Jazz, says that everything she is today is related to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but during the first six to eight years of her marriage to her first husband, Larry H. Miller, she was not active in the Church. She explains in her book Courage To Be You that she began bringing her kids to Church by herself after her son asked, “Mommy, where does God live?” Eventually, Larry began joining her, but she says that the way her family was treated upon their return to the Church made an impression that has remained in her heart in the years since. Read a full transcript or listen to her recent conversation with host Morgan Jones in its entirety on the All In podcast here or in the player below:

When I was a seminary student many years ago, I loved short scripture mastery scriptures, as they were easy to memorize. One still lingers in my mind today: “Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy” (2 Nephi 2:25). Back then, this scripture didn’t mean much to me besides being an easy “check off” on my scripture mastery list. Now 30 years later, after disappointments and stress and challenges and heartbreak, this scripture carries more personal meaning. If men and women exist to be joyful and happy, they why do so many seem to be unhappy and depressed? If happiness is the design of our existence, has that design been thwarted?
