Mormon youth group reenacts 1846 journey

AUBURN, N.H. — They walked for miles through the woods, the girls in bonnets and long skirts, the boys in suspenders and broad-brimmed hats, towing heavy wooden handcarts. They slept in a field under tarps in a torrential downpour, and in the morning, they ate oatmeal in sodden clothes among the mosquitoes. “It was awesome,” said 17-year-old Ida Mweze of Worcester, smiling serenely. “We were singing songs, and it kept us going.”

By LDS Living

"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.

Mormon student takes time off school for missionary work in Brazil

Root beer is one of the main topics featured in most of Jared Knotts’ letters he sends home. That and his longing for Pizza Hut and Twitter, all of which the vocal performance major cannot come across in Brazil, where he will reside for the next 18 months. Knotts is in South America as a Mormon missionary, and while he feels he is contributing to his church, he said he also realizes the little things that he misses about campus.

We learned the wrong lesson from Martin Harris

In the course of studying Matthew, we came across the story of the woman who begged to have her daughter healed. Christ told her he couldn’t help her because she wasn’t part of his mission, but she wouldn’t take no for an answer. After proving her faith with a little verbal jousting, Christ gave her what she asked of him. Matthew 15: 27: Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

'Clara Tale' just the first of a series for LDS family

They're hoping their series of stories featuring youngsters with simple costumes and everyday props will prompt parents to sit down and create art of all kind with their kids.

Mitt Romney and Mormon culture

Mitt Romney, speaking last week in Jerusalem, shows why religion is and ought to be part of our campaign discourse—not the pointless question of who is more Christian than whom, but the investigation of how the worldviews that religious communities conserve inspire the way that candidates read circumstances. During the primaries, we were so busy trying to figure out if Romney is a real Christian, we didn’t look very closely at what really matters in his religious worldview. If we had, his recent declaration that “culture makes all the difference” in Israel would not have so surprised and bewildered us.
