LDS Week in Review: 5 Must-Read Stories (Jan 10 - 16)

This week we saw two tragedies from within the mission field and our hearts go out to all those connected to these faithful servants. Sister Carol Vaughn Curran Hansen died unexpectedly Wednesday after she collapsed at the mission home. She was only 69. In Mexico, 20-year-old Elder Nathan Castle McBride was at a ward soccer activity when he also suddenly collapsed. He had been in great health, and his death remains a mystery. Please add your prayers to ours for these two families who have lost faithful loved ones this week.

But as she studied the Old Testament in 2022, the same year her world got rocked by a cancer diagnosis, Anne Bednar found that those stories came alive. And the people in them? They weren’t all that different from her. On this week’s episode, Anne helps us see just how applicable the scriptures can be to our unique life circumstances if we take the time to study their pages.

How Bill Marriott balanced being a bishop, father, and CEO of a multi-million dollar company

Bill Marriott puts faith at the forefront of his life, and that's no secret. In the rooms in his hotels guests can find a copy of the Book of Mormon and Bible. At a party celebrating the opening of his $24-million Los Angeles hotel Bill recalled a memorable moment with John Wayne: “He was a very large man and a man of few words, but he let me know exactly what he wanted—a drink—when he said, ‘I understand liquor flows like glue at Mormon parties.’” There was little doubt in any one's mind that to Bill Marriott, faith and family came first.
