"In his early years in New Zealand, Matiu Kauri [Matthew Cowley] came here often to study and learn the Māori language, meditate and commune with Heavenly Father," Elder O. Vincent Haleck said during a monument dedication. "It was the peaceful surroundings of this grove that blessed and helped give voice to his Māori language and love for the Māori people. We are honoured that the City Council and leaders of this community have chosen to name this grove the Matiu Kauri Grove.”

Sports Illustrated Explores how a Mission Changed Jeremy Guthrie's Major League Baseball Prospects
He left everything behind. His family, his friends, his girlfriend, his glove. He packed his bags for Europe, walked away from the game, and was prepared to never come back. It was 1999, and Jeremy Guthrie, having just finished his freshman year at BYU, was off to Spain to serve a mission for the Mormon Church, and over the next two years, he did not pick up a baseball—he barely even thought about baseball. “It wasn’t one of those things where I prayed one night and said, ‘Lord, if I do this, you promise [to do this for me],” Guthrie recalled last week during the World Series. “It was not that way. It was: ‘I'm going to give this up, and I know whatever happens will be the best for me.’”

Navigating Attacks on Your Faith
The day I hit the mission field, it was February 5th and the snow was going sideways instead of straight down. Three weeks before that I was surfing North side Pier in Oceanside wondering how I was going to pull off serving a mission. I never dreamed my first step into the mission field would be into a full blown blizzard.

Why Halloween Is the Most Charitable Day of the Year (and Other Reasons I Can't Hate It)
I’ve tried. I have really tried. I have marshalled all my self-righteous bluster and vast knowledge, and I still can’t do it. I’m pretty orthodox, as orthodoxy goes, so it seems I should be able to – it kind of makes sense. My brain tells me I should be able to… but I just can’t bring myself to do it. Believe me, I’ve tried, but I can’t. I can’t hate Halloween. I’m sorry to disappoint some of you.
Mormonism in Arizona
The temple, its sandstone-colored walls forming a series of massive, overlapping rectangles, looks like something out of a Cecil B. DeMille biblical epic. It rises at a Gilbert intersection, just off a freeway, dwarfing the warehouse supermarket and strip malls around it in both size and stature.
