Here are some of the highlights from the latest edition of the Church’s World Report.

Since the birthday of the Relief Society is March 17, let’s take a moment to remember its presidents. Some are very well known, while others may be less so. All contributed mightily to the history and purpose of the Relief Society of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. See if you can guess the president whose legacy is described in each section.

Earlier this week, a car caught fire in the parking lot of the Draper Utah Temple, extensively damaging two other cars.

The villages and thatched-roofed cottages, the green rolling, patchwork countryside, hedgerows, and rock walls topped with wild raspberries and tangled ivy bring a sense of peace and well-being found nowhere else in the world. The Alps of Switzerland, the fiords of Norway, the coastal beauty of England and France, the meanderings of the Rhine or Danube, the Roman ruins and Renaissance art of Italy have all found a place in my heart never to be removed. These are the lands of our ancestors and we feel a unique bond with them while walking the ground that gave them birth.

New videos completing the 45-episode series will be released in time for the 2024 “Come, Follow Me” study of the Book of Mormon.

Six houses that belonged to my ancestors still stand in Nauvoo; nice brick and frame homes, with lawns and gardens and trees and carriage houses.

The United Kingdom is to play host to a new pageant of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints titled “The British Pageant: Truth Will Prevail.” The British pageant will follow a similar format to the Nauvoo, Ill., Pageant and the Mormon Miracle Pageant in Manti, but will focus on the history of the LDS Church in the British Isles, written and performed by members from around the United Kingdom. Preparations are already well underway for the pageant, to be in late July and early August at at the Preston England Temple site in Chorley, Lancashire, England.

Dallas Jenkins, creator of the popular television series that tells the story of Christ’s ministry, knew filming in present-day Israel wasn’t practical. It wasn’t just the cost that deterred him from taking his cast and crew to the Holy Land.

The Church has released the open house and dedication dates for the Deseret Peak Utah Temple, an artistic rendering for the Wellington New Zealand Temple, and the site location for the Brussels Belgium Temple.
