Elder Jeffrey R. Holland: The parable of BYU-Hawaii
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve told BYU-Hawaii’s graduating students that they must get over their insecurities and look to the future with faith. Elder Holland spoke to more than 200 graduates on Saturday, Dec. 17, in commencement exercises held in the Cannon Activities Center on the university’s campus in Laie, Hawaii. “First of all, it is incumbent upon us as students, as Latter-day Saints, and as children of God to see the divine potential in ourselves, to believe in ourselves to know that with God’s help there is quite literally nothing in righteousness that we cannot become,” Elder Holland said. “That is the parable of this school’s history and it ought to be the parable of your history.”
Aussie sports film says g'day to Utah at LDS Film Festival
After 30 years of working in film and television in Australia, it was an evening of church music that sent Darran Scott down the path of expressing his faith cinematically. Scott, a relatively new member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints -- he was baptized eight years ago -- was deeply impacted by the blend of music and spirituality at a ward fireside. "I immediately shelved the project I was developing," Scott said, and started to look for a story that would reflect his religious beliefs.

Maintaining a Spirit of Hope and Optimism
It’s a “New Year,” a time for thinking about how we might consider adjusting our lives to live with more purpose and meaning. When we live in a world seemingly dominated by negative news coming from every direction, living with faith sufficient to maintain a spirit of hope and optimism can become a non-stop challenge. Looking for more “positives” in our lives, while standing firm in our convictions and beliefs, isn’t an easy task. But when it’s achieved, we can become a more powerful people, filled with mental, physical, and spiritual strength.
Mormons bid farewell to Sister Frances J. Monson, who left a 'legacy of love'
The life and legacy of Frances J. Monson — "a legacy of humility, service, faithfulness and love," according to her daughter, Ann M. Dibb — was celebrated during funeral services Thursday in the Salt Lake Tabernacle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Sister Monson's husband, LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson, was seated with his family on red chairs that formed the Tabernacle's front row, just a few feet from his beloved wife's flower-bedecked casket and close to Dibb, her brothers Thomas and Clark and their respective spouses.

Wall Street Journal: The Mormon missionary revolution
It has been quite a year for Mormonism in America. Outside the faith, the presidential candidacy of Mitt Romney sparked unprecedented levels of interest and attention. Meanwhile, church leaders have transformed how young Mormons start their adulthood, affecting everything from education to dating and marriage. Though you might not know it from Broadway's "The Book of Mormon," 12% of Mormon missionaries are women—a number that is about to skyrocket thanks to an unexpected change in official Latter-day Saint policy. The church announced last month that Mormon women are now eligible to begin serving missions at age 19 instead of 21, and that Mormon men may serve at 18 instead of 19.

Church statement on its financial independence in response to Businessweek cover
The growth of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from a fledgling band of frontier Americans to a global faith that blesses the lives of millions is one of the great religious success stories of the 19th and 20th centuries. From the very beginning, members of the Church displayed a remarkable ability to set aside material things for spiritual goals. One of the earliest Church members, Martin Harris, mortgaged his farm to pay for the publication of the Book of Mormon. Other examples of self-sacrifice among the early Latter-day Saints abound.
