BYU students sing at Temple Square to counter protesters
Protesters at Temple Square have long been a staple at General Conference as they line the street across the Conference Center. But if people on their way to conference sped by them too fast, they may have also missed the young adults nearby singing hymns. Sam Hales and Brittny Millington sing together on Temple Square during sessions to help conference attendees keep the spirit. Members of the Provo YSA Ninth Stake were asked to sing hymns at Temple Square between the Sunday morning and afternoon sessions. They lined both sides of the walkway next to Temple Square, creating a tunnel of voices for people to walk through.
How Americans View Mormonism
We spent an hour with Gary Lawrence last night. He was gracious enough to come up to visit our stake in Camarillo from his home in Orange County. Dr. Lawrence is an American opinion pollster who also happens to be a Latter-day Saint. He has been travelling around the church sharing the results of a poll he conducted in the spring of 2007 on American’s perception of Latter-day Saints in the United States. He published a book in 2008 with the findings of his poll, How Americans View Mormonism: Seven Steps to Improve Our Image. Dr. Lawrence received a PhD in communications psychology from Stanford University in 1972. He said that of over twenty doctoral candidates in his group, he was the only LDS, Republican, conservative hawk among them. So he knows a little about being in the minority.

Where Did the Phrase 'Every Member a Missionary' Come From?
President McKay said of his first experience with tracting, “Brother Johnston let me take one side of the street and as I approached a house I saw a lady standing in the doorway peering at me so you see, I didn’t even have to knock at the door. I greeted her and added, ‘I am a Mormon missionary and I should be pleased if you would accept this gospel tract.’ She put out her hand and took it with a sneer on her face, tore it to three or four bits and threw it on the ground, and said, ‘Good-bye’; and that was the end of our conversation.”

How the Mormon missionary movement continues to grow and change
Vigor Komar lives in a tiny apartment on a hill above Rijeka, Croatia - his bed tucked in the corner of the living room. He watches a small TV near the window. On the screen, it’s 1952. A very young June Carter lifts her long skirt to her knees and does a funny dance that’s half tap, half do-si-do. She’s laughing as she dances. Komar has watched this moment a thousand times. He likes June Carter, but he replays this black-and-white clip from The Kate Smith Evening Hour for what comes next: Hank Williams.
