A glimpse into the final moments of Joseph Smith’s life from a witness to his martyrdom

John Taylor’s narrative is the only eyewitness account of these events in Church history.

Building a Celestial Marriage at Any Stage

By Kristena Eden

Love is one of the most profound emotions known to human beings. Most of us marry feeling that nothing could possibly separate us, believing that a celestial marriage will be perfect and easy—a happily ever after. Yet life is not that way and we face the harsh reality of conflict where our perfect happiness can be shattered. What will save our happily ever after is to realize is that life and marriage evolve in stages. Our marriage probably won’t ever be like it was at the beginning nor should it, because it could be something even better. Our purpose in marriage is to help each other meet the Savior, and our spouse can be our greatest purifying fire, our greatest teacher, and our greatest gift—if we will allow them to be.

Why a Non-Denominational Christian Woman Earned Her Young Women Medallion (and Watches General Conference)

The two became friends, and soon Weiseth began doing things that may have seemed odd from the outside looking in, such as watching every session of general conference and earning her Young Women medallion.
