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.
Conversion Story: "Hi There, We've Been Waiting for You"
It was a hot summer day as Tarin Virgil headed to the college bus stop in Rocklin, California. As the heat of the afternoon took its toll, Tarin decided to take a breather under a tree on the side of the road. As she paused, Tarin didn’t notice the sign indicating that she was standing outside of an Institute of Religion building for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. What she also did not know was that her life was about to change. Earlier that day Brother Paul Watkins, the institute director, had come to the building, to complete some work. Though classes were not in session, he had agreed to have the institute building open for the missionaries to teach a young woman they had previously met. When she did not show up at the appointed time, the missionaries continued to wait.

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.
