Taufa family shows faith in wake of LDS missionary's death

President Elini Kinikini of the Tongan North Stake and Bishop Siosaia Tu’itupou of the Riverside 2nd Ward were invited to the living room where they somberly and directly shared the tragic news that their second child and second missionary son, Elder Siosiua Andrew Taufa, had lost his life in Guatemala earlier that evening.

With the help of their priesthood leaders, he calmed his family’s tears and their anguish.

President Uchtdorf speaks at fireside, urges listeners to learn to recognize the truth

Individuals have a personal obligation to search for and find truth, said President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, second counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, during a Church Educational System devotional address in the Marriott Center at BYU on Sunday night. "It seems to be part of our nature as human beings to make assumptions about people, politics and piety based on our incomplete and often misleading experience. ... So often the 'truths' we tell ourselves are merely fragments of the truth and sometimes, they're not really the truth at all," he said.

3 Questions Married People Need to Stop Asking LDS Singles

I discovered that we all dread a similar situation. When we find ourselves at the teenager’s table instead of with our married younger siblings because that might make the adult table uneven. When we hover at the edges of family photos, without someone else to balance us out. When we are with family, at ward and stake gatherings, or even just with married friends, inevitably the conversation will turn to spouses, children, homes and family concerns and upon realizing that we have little to add to these discussions, it is only a matter of time before someone asks us one of The Questions.

Scattered around a lush, green field, chewing contently in the shadow of the French Alps, they were the happiest cows Steve Call had ever seen. Spontaneously, the Brigham Young University music professor grabbed his tuba, walked to the edge of the field and began to play, “When The Saints Go Marching In.” Among the small gathering, Call’s son Bruce hit the record button on his camera.

Today in the Bloggernacle: Never miss anything the LDS Church posts by using Google+

Jesse Stay, LDS author of “Google+ Marketing For Dummies,” reached out on Facebook with this fantastic tip: “Here's an idea for all of you to never miss anything the LDS Church posts. 1. Go to Google+ and circle all the Church Pages there in an ‘Official LDS’ circle. 2. Click on the circle in the options at the top of your newsfeed so you're only seeing the posts from the ‘Official LDS’ circle. 3. In the upper-right, there will be a slider. If you slide that all the way to the right, it will send you email notifications of every post the Church makes on Google+. 4. Now, +1, comment, and share for every post — on every post you do this, it improves authority for each post and improves our visibility on the web!” What a great idea. If you are using Google+ (or even if you are not), click in to set it up!
