New Zealand the 'real deal' for Mormon missionaries: An insider's guide
I’ve been travelling over the last three weeks and last night I found myself in Provo with a group of friends when the discussion turned to mission preparation in the context of this wave of new young things who are about to be unleashed, bright eyed, and bushy tailed onto the world. The thing about being in Utah is that you find out stuff if you hold your ear to the ground long enough. Someone is always ready to spill the beans on a piece of juicy speculation – it’s delicious!

New Year's Resolution Re-make
By Jack S. Marshall
Giving up on New Years' resolutions is common because most people don’t understand the purposes of New Year's resolutions! Many believe resolutions are made once and then lived perfectly thereafter.

How love and faith can grow, even when one spouse stops believing
For years, Matt Duff was an über-Mormon. At 17, he ran away from home and moved in with the only black LDS family in his New England town. Two weeks shy of his 18th birthday, he joined the Utah-based church.

The two married in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.
