By Chad Hawkins

In December 1989, combat associated with a military coup in the Philippines came dangerously close to destroying the Manila Philippines Temple. As the coup erupted, heavy fighting took place at Camp Aguinaldo, a military base neighboring the temple grounds. The small Filipino staff still inside the temple complex at the time could hear confusion closing in as rebel troops attacked the government loyalists at Camp Aguinaldo, dropping bombs and firing rockets. On the second day of fighting, rebel soldiers breached the temple gates and occupied the grounds. Members throughout the Philippines prayed that the temple might somehow be spared.

{LDS How-to} Host a Cyber FHE

By Alexis Sanders

Many of us have come to the truth that as our children grow up they fly the coop. Some may end up around the block, but many relocate to distances over hundreds or even thousands of miles away. While in the past the only means of connection required weeks of waiting for snail-mail letters, today’s technology has made distances smaller, and for LDS families that connection can allow for a continuance of family traditions. Family Home Evening doesn’t have to be a thing of the past for diffused families.

Texas youth hold LDS prom

More than a thousand youth of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from Denton, Parker and Tarrant Counties danced the night away at the West Regional LDS Prom held April 9, at Celebrations in Highland Village. At first glance the prom was like any other prom in any other age. Young ladies wearing, what for many were their first evening gowns, transformed into beautiful princesses escorted by dashing young men only slightly ill at ease in their many hued tuxedos. High heels pinched dainty toes and young men tugged at over tight ties. Some came in limos and some in the family car. There was music and dancing, food and laughter. No doubt some fell in love and some hearts were broken in that elaborate and awkward and beautiful and timeless way of youth.
