5 Ways to Make the Most Out of the YSA Ward Experience

Whether or not one leaves with a ring on the finger, a Mormon young single adult ward is definitely not eternal — thankfully. Even if someone stays in the same place and never moves, come 31 years of age, he or she is outta there. Although it's a temporary period, it can be, and should be, a time for growth.

Mormon temple to undergo repairs after earthquake

The Mormon temple in Kensington will undergo repairs to return the tops of four of its more than 200-foot high spires, which fell off during the Aug. 23 earthquake. Each of the four gold-colored spires lost two, four-foot-long sections off their highest point during the quake, causing minor damage to portions of the temple’s white marble roof, said Wesley Andersen, the temple record.
