Elder Gary Parke and his wife, Helen, sat before an LDS congregation in Tema, Ghana, waiting to speak about temple preparation, when several men entered the building wearing suit coats. The uncommon attire for the tropical climate suggested this was no ordinary sacrament service.
“This is something I love. I don’t see it as a sacrifice,” Michela Banchin told USA Today about her membership in the Church. “We have a different way of living our lives.”

Without a doubt, what makes The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints so unique are the members. And as the Church continues to grow, new converts only add to the diversity of the Church with their unique perspectives and experiences.
“Her heart was there taking care of people who were in the same situation that she ultimately ended up in as well,” Scott Bostwick said. “There’s something to that.”
Leaving a general conference session a couple of weeks ago, I noticed a demonstrator holding a sign announcing that Joseph Smith had "lied." Now, I don't buy this for a second. The evidence for Joseph's overall sincerity (including his apparent willingness to die for his claims, but also exhibited in his personal papers and letters, which, though never intended for publication, are now being made available to a general audience) is strong and compelling.
You probably won't find them at the bar downing shots of Patron or at Starbucks waiting for a double-shot espresso, but if you think the closest you've ever been to a Mormon is a Mitt Romney bumper sticker, you're probably wrong. As Romney, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, travels the presidential campaign trail, and the musical "The Book of Mormon" comes to Chicago, it's Mormonism's time to shine.

"I love Sunday nights with the fam!" Jordon LeBaron posted on Facebook, along with a stunning video of his family singing "One Day More" from the musical Les Miserables. Each part, from Jean Valjean and Cosette to Madame Thenardier and the Ghost of Fantine, is incredibly executed by a member of the family. And although several of them studied music and theater in college, the collection of talent displayed during an informal family gathering is pretty impressive.
