Mormon-affiliated group offers help, hope to suicide survivors
As young brothers, Kris and Kourt McGuire often spent hours chasing the shimmering dragonflies that floated above a lush, green pasture behind their Draper home. One day, when their mom told them to come inside to clean their room, they silently obeyed — or so she thought. After a time, she went to check on the two youngest of her four sons. She found their bedroom alive with dragonflies, which they had tied strings around, hanging them from the ceiling.
Are more sister missionaries serving?
In 2007, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sent out its one millionth missionary, and as the amount of missionaries serving continues to grow, some may wonder if more women are choosing to go. According to the book by BYU alumna Melissa Baird Carpenter, titled “18 months: Sister Missionaries in the Latter Days,” in 2005 18 percent of full time missionaries were women.

Touring in St. Petersburg: Gospel Light Glows in Life of Russian Family
Boris Leostrin stands out in a crowd, and not just because of his 6-foot-2 height. His whole countenance reflects joy in the gospel as he speaks of raising his family in the Church. Brother Leostrin, second counselor in the St. Petersburg Russia Stake, was born and grew up in the sparkling port city on the Baltic Sea. The 35-year-old manages and arranges tours, guides and transportation for tourists, but he revels in showing visitors the city's gems himself — gems such as palaces of the czars and the gloriously restored Hermitage with its world-renowned collection of art. "St. Petersburg is my city, and I love it!" he said.
Mormon purchases soccer team, saves it and becomes Costa Rican celebrity
Near the end of 2012, the soccer team Club Sport Herediano was in a time of serious financial tribulation, and Herediano's ownership began to seek someone to buy the team. David J. Patey and his brothers, Mike and Mark, fit the bill. David, 36, was born in Israel but raised in Utah. He is one of 11 children. In 2003, he moved with his wife and two children to Costa Rica primarily to learn Spanish, but also to run his company, Costa Rica Consultants, a firm that specializes in private, high-volume mortgage loans to the Costa Rican market. Since then, his family of four has grown to seven.
Portrait of Oliver Cowdery, the First Mormon Lawyer, Joins BYU Law School
In addition to being the "second elder" of the Church during the Restoration, one of the Three Witnesses to the Book of Mormon and the principal scribe for its translation, Oliver Cowdery was the first Mormon lawyer in Church history. Now, a portrait hanging in the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University memorializes him for that achievement and the sterling character he exemplified during his legal career.
The Genesis of a church’s stand on race
On Dec. 25, 1964, as Mitt Romney enjoyed his last Christmas break as a high school student in Michigan, two Mormon missionaries visited Darius Gray in Colorado Springs and asked him if he had any last questions before joining the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He had one. A proud African American, Gray expressed wariness over a description in the Book of Mormon of a dark-skinned tribe being out of favor with God and asked, “How, in any way, does that relate to me?” The younger of the two missionaries stood off to the side as his senior companion explained, “‘Well, Brother Gray, the primary implication is that you won’t be able to hold the priesthood.’”
Michelle King: Honoring angel babies, on 'Mormon Times TV'
When you prepare to give birth — and everything has gone well as the due date approaches — you hardly expect things to take a tragic turn. This happened to my sister and brother-in-law with the emergency birth of their first child. After his precarious start, the baby’s health was such that he soon had to be taken off the breathing tube keeping him alive. And, instead of bringing him home to sleep in his crib, he was laid to rest at the cemetery. Many tears were shed, and we continue to think of him often. This fall, he would have turned 22 years old.
