MR says: Donald Trump's spokeswoman Katrina Pierson made some pretty bold and extreme comments, some which even included Mormons, when addressing Trump's latest controversial comment about shutting down mosques.

What might the world look like if the Avengers were actually Latter-day Saints? Here are just a few possible scenarios you might run into:

For the Hunt family, service is more than charity—it is a family legacy that has become a world-wide humanitarian organization. Serve a Village, a volunteer nonprofit service organization, became official in 2006, but its roots go back nearly fifty years.

Recently, my mother-in-law sent me a booklet in the mail entitled “Mothers Are Like…” by Hank Smith, a professor of religion at Brigham Young University. I found his ideas completely inspiring and spot-on that I couldn’t help myself and had to share with my readers.

What an incredible feat! “Very few kids have the physical capability to be an elite level athlete, and she’s one of those kids,” Lundyn Vandertoolen's coach, Ryan Kirkham said.

Putting together meaningful and exciting summer camp for a group of priest-age boys in the Church can challenge even the best leaders. It takes spiritual insight, time and creativity to pull it off. For the priest quorum leadership of the Rosehill Ward, Morgan Utah North Stake, in Mountain Green, Utah, getting all ten priests from various backgrounds, Church activity levels, physical abilities and family situations would be difficult but not impossible.Under the leadership of Bishop Tyler Quigley, priest quorum leaders made preparations for a summer camp on July 22 on the East shore of Bear Lake. The purpose for the trip would be to include everyone in the quorum. As the time drew close, all the priests had to commit to attend. One of the last to commit was Ryan Jarrett, a young man with cerebral palsy.

No matter our struggles and the challenges we are facing at this moment, Elder Robert D. Hales recently shared two messages that will provide hope and an eternal perspective. On Facebook, he wrote:

Whether it's a monumental heartbreak or a child with a mouthful of mac 'n' cheese, songwriter Hilary Weeks seems to take inspiration from every part of her life. On this new album called "Every Step," recorded in Nashville, Tenn., you'll hear 10 new songs from tender to jubilant — like "Living Proof" and "Past the Point" — and a bonus remake of one of her classics, "All My Days."

Phyllis Barber and Joanna Brooks are two of Mormonism’s bravest voices, writers of memoirs in which they offer us privileged glimpses of their inner lives, their comings of age in all the kinds of awkwardness that entails, including learning how to inhabit their bodies and sexuality in healthy ways, tensions between the path indicated by LDS narratives and the various other possibilities suggested by other stories that surround them, struggles with theological ideas and legacies that are especially difficult for women, their searches for place in and peace with the tradition and people into which they were born and “cultured.” Their memoirs serve their own Mormon people through telling Mormon stories that offer companionship to other Latter-day Saints who have been shaped by the same or similar ideas, rituals, and messages–both the ennobling ones and those that miss the mark, even sometimes harm. These books and these writers’ willingness to be exposed personally as well as to share an insider’s view of Mormon teachings and rituals also serve as powerful bridges to those outside the LDS community. Through their intimate depictions of the particularity of their Mormon upbringings and lives, these books provide connection to what is universal in human experience. It is in this way that we truly do become “no more strangers and foreigners.”

Leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are urging Mormons around the world to improve their observance of the Sabbath day.
