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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
