Dyslexia Tutor Does Missionary Work with Family History Book
In 2010, when one of her children was struggling to read, Cassandra Hafen took it upon herself to learn more about dyslexia. A veteran teacher of English as a Second Language, she found herself in new territory, so she retrained and became a certified specialist in the sonorously named Barton/Orton-Gillingham method. This unique approach calls for the engagement of all of a student’s senses: visual, auditory, tactile and kinesthetic. It has a lofty track record—it’s the preferred method at the New York’s Windward School, perhaps the nation’s top dyslexia program—and now Hafen was determined to bring it to her one-on-one practice in suburban Henderson.

10 Gospel Truths from Disney
The theology of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is founded on the premise that Jesus Christ restored his Church through the prophet Joseph Smith after appearing to him in vision. Gordon B. Hinckley once related the story of a man who heard this story from a bishop and described the account as “more Disney than Disney.”
The Body of the Church as a Temple
In 1 Corinthians 6:19, it says: ”What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?” As some Mormon youth teachers used to like to say to encourage chastity: ”Your body is a temple, and he doesn’t have a recommend!” or as I saw on a tee shirt: ”Your body is a temple, not a visitor center.” This scripture is often trotted out in opposition to tattoos or piercings, likening those actions to vandalism of the exterior temple walls. It’s also used to support the Word of Wisdom, and this interpretation isn’t unique to Mormonism. Other faiths use it to enforce modesty, anti-smoking and temperance.
