Watch: The Church Releases Hopeful Easter Video #BecauseofHim

As we prepare for Easter this month, let us remember amidst the family parties, egg hunts, and bunny trails that we celebrate this special day because of Him—our Savior Jesus Christ. As the video description for a new video posted by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints states, "The love and sacrifice of Jesus Christ is the antidote for every negative aspect of our lives. Because of Him, we can overcome sadness, despair, anxiety, hatred—and someday, even death."

The One Way You're Already Doing Family History--And Didn't Even Realize It

Sister Linda K. Burton, General President of the Relief Society of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, gave some inspiring council to young mothers and other busy LDS Church members relating to family history. “As we live—raising children, working jobs, caring for parents, fulfilling Church callings, and serving in our communities—we are putting together the puzzle of our lives, creating our own family history. Try adding small and simple things to intensify the Spirit of Elijah in your life and draw your family closer on both sides of the veil.”

How Much Social Media Is Too Much During General Conference?

By Preston Lee

I remember riding in the back of a cramped truck through the dirty streets of Santiago, Chile, en route to my very first general conference as a full-time missionary. As we navigated the small, crowded roads on our way to the local Stake Center, one senior missionary clicked on the radio which began playing a Tabernacle Choir CD. Involuntarily and instantly, I was flooded with nostalgic images and emotions of general conference back home in Idaho. I couldn’t help but wonder what my family was doing right at that very moment as they and I prepared for the same marvelous event, at the same exact moment, but in entirely different hemispheres.

How to Decide Between a Boyfriend and a Mission

Before my mission and during my mission I was a huge advocate for sisters serving missions. If a girl told me she was going to leave a boyfriend to serve a mission I supported that decision. In my mind nothing could be better than a mission. If things were truly meant to be between the girl and her boy, it would work out.
