Even now, so many years later, I believe my grandpa wanted to let me know he received my message and then was allowed to send me one of his own.

If “I’m booorred” is an all-too-familiar phrase around your household these days, check out this fun summer schedule.

Great inspiration comes to those that listen to genius. Great minds challenge one to think deeper about the problem in front of them. One of those geniuses is Clayton Christensen. Not only is he a Harvard Business Professor and famous author he is also a Latter-Day Saint and former Area Seventy. I enjoy listening to him solve business and leadership problems because it makes me wonder if his answers would be similar if asked to solve similar LDS leadership problems.

Jeni and I took Elder Bluth to the Bessemer Stake Center for an early morning Sacrament Meeting for the volunteer works who have been helping this past weekend on Sunday morning (May 8). Nearly 2000 Latter-day Saint volunteers arrived in the state on Friday and worked all day Saturday and most of Sunday as part of the Church's relief effort. Several command centers were set up to coordinate the effort. The Bessemer Stake Center was one of those command center. Elder Bluth presided over a short sacrament meeting in the building, beginning at 7:00 am. Once the meeting ended, the volunteers headed out to complete their efforts. Another service weekend has been planned for next weekend. During the week, many local Latter-day Saints (including missionaries) helped in specific areas. A lot of media attention has been directed to places like Tuscaloosa, so some of our effort has focused on other areas where no help has been forthcoming.

On his most crippling days of anxiety, Steve Young described the fear he experienced as an athlete in an interview with CBS: "You wake up and you see the crack of the morning dawn . . . and you would have this dread."

“Cambodia is a country that treasures temples.”

LDS Church missionaries are accounted for while many LDS members and their homes have been affected as the state of Queensland and its capital city of Brisbane have been hit with the the worst flooding in a half a century. More than 200,000 people have been forced from their homes in 31 towns in the region after several weeks of driving rain fell in the tropical northeast. What started as slow-moving flooding became faster, more devastating and contaminated waters as the rain-fed flooding raced to Brisbane, Australia's third-largest city.

When I was young and silly, my parents used to take me to southern Utah to visit relatives almost every summer. We would spend a week or two in Kanab and I would devote hours each day to roaming the red hills and canyons in the area with my cousins. One of the activities in which we sometimes engaged was rock rolling. We would climb the K-hill, a small table-top mountain northeast of town and roll rocks down the side. It was awesome to see the largest boulders we could move crashing down the hillside, gathering momentum and speed, dislodging other great rocks and debris which joined the mad cascade to the bottom. There were times when it seemed as if the whole mountain was moving.

Hundreds of women learned about seeking the good in their life during a Time Out for Women event this past weekend in Boise. “Seek the Good” is the theme of this year’s Time Out for Women, an inspirational event sponsored by Deseret Book.

The first Mormon missionary in Thailand was Elder Elam Luddington, sent by Brigham Young in 1854. It was an exciting but short-lived expansion of the gospel into another part of the world—Elder Luddington struggled with the language and returned to Utah only four months after his arrival in Thailand. Latter-day Saints wouldn’t return to the Southeast Asian country until the Vietnam War years, when LDS servicemen and their families entered Thailand.
