5 Inspiring “I'm a Mormon” Videos

The LDS Church instituted its “I’m a Mormon” ad campaign in 2011 as a way for curious outsiders to peek in at Mormonism’s greatest strength—its members. Rather than viewing the Internet’s inherent decentralizing property as an obstacle to be combated, the Church (rather brilliantly) began to envision that very decentralization as an opportunity: Let the members be the message. In the last two years the “I’m a Mormon” campaign has become the Church’s calling card to the world, often gently challenging stereotypes that people may have harbored about who is or can be a good Mormon.

LDS Church, neighbors clash over proposed 9-story MTC building

That meeting held for neighbors by the Missionary Training Center on Thursday sounded a lot like LDS missionaries knocking on the door of a non-believer: one side believes that when the prophet speaks the debate is over, while the other believes it is just beginning.

Payson Utah Temple groundbreaking set for Oct. 8

The Church announced Sept. 7 that the Payson Utah Temple groundbreaking will take place on Oct. 8, with Elder Dallin H. Oaks presiding at the 9 a.m. ceremony. The property for the temple is located at approximately 930 West and 1550 South on the southwest side of Payson, a mile from the 800 South I-15 interchange. The new temple will help meet the needs of a growing Church membership in the area and will ease the heavy use of the Provo Utah Temple, which is one of the busiest in the Church. The Payson temple will bring to 15 the number of operating and announced temples in Utah.

D&C 51-57: Wise Steward

For Church members in the 1830s, gathering in Ohio and building the city of Zion were spiritual as well as temporal labors. In the revelations recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 51–57, the Lord appointed and instructed people to handle the tasks required for building a new place.
