Like the 55,410 proselyting missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints around the globe, Elder Ernesto Sarabia wore a black missionary badge each day of his mission. But in some ways his mission assignment was unique from many others’—Elder Sarabia served as a young Church-service missionary. For medical reasons, Elder Sarabia was unable to serve a full-time proselyting mission. For a year he insisted on going, and submitted his papers multiple times. But each time the answer was the same.
Every four years, the outcome of Salt Lake City’s west-side City Council race seems as predictable as a clock: plain-spoken incumbent Van Turner wins the District 2 seat over outspoken activist Michael Clara. This year, the dynamic is different. Kyle LaMalfa, a third, fresh-faced candidate, has guaranteed a Sept. 13 primary.

Track and field athletes that year faced a common challenge when they arrived in Mexico City: its altitude. At 7,350 feet, it was the highest elevation at which any Summer Olympics had been held. From Mbulu, Tanzania, where the altitude is -3.85 feet, Mr. Akhwari suffered leg cramps early in the race. Yet he continued to run.
Salt Lake father-son team Dave and Connor O’Leary successfully raced through airports, a river in a jet boat, muddy trails on ATVs and navigating winding roads in New Zealand while Dave was on crutches with a leg injury in an emotional episode of the third leg of “e Amazing Race” on Sunday. While their ability to continue is still in question, no one was eliminated by the end of Sunday’s episode, and viewers were left with a “To Be Continued.”
