Provo Tabernacle excavation: Work completed!
The work is completed. Excavation of the original Provo Tabernacle at the site of the new Provo City Center Temple has been finished. A team of BYU archaeologists in conjunction with the Church History and Temple Departments have been hard at work since the beginning of the year. They have uncovered the foundation of the original Provo Tabernacle dedicated in 1867, a water well and many pioneer artifacts. "The building was integral to the pioneer origins and early history of Utah County," said Rich Talbot, director of the Office of Public Archaeology (OPA) at BYU.

5 Easy Tips to Make FHE Successful and Stress-Free All Year Long
By Tina Albrecht
This year we celebrated the 100-year anniversary of the First Presidency letter that introduced family home evening as an official program of the Church. At first, local leaders were requested to set aside one day a month where members would have no scheduled church activities so families could spend a night at home together. Later, in 1970, the First Presidency officially changed this request to the weekly Monday night we are now familiar with.

6 Ways to Create Unity in a Ward with High Turnover
By Jannalee Sandau
Ward families provide wonderful opportunities to worship, make friends, find support, and strengthen your testimony as ward members work, learn, grow, and live together. But speaking as a former long-term member of a young single adult ward and a current member of an apartment-heavy ward with newlyweds and senior missionary couples coming in and out on a regular basis, I know that feeling support and connection at church can be a little more difficult when your ward family is constantly changing. Here are a few tips I’ve gathered that might help both leaders and members create more unity in an ever-changing ward.
South of border, Romney's Mexican roots run deep - The Seattle Times
Three dozen of Mitt Romney's relatives live here in a narrow river valley at the foot of the western Sierra Madre, surrounded by peach groves, apple orchards and some of the baddest, most fearsome drug gangsters and kidnappers in all of northern Mexico.

Pennsylvania Mormon Moment: Defending the faith
When you grow up Mormon, you get used to keeping the Sabbath, dressing conservatively, spending time with your family, and disabusing non-Mormons of the notions they hold about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "The biggest thing that I try to explain is that we're very normal," said Amber Campbell, who resides with her husband, Alan, another lifelong Mormon, and their two young sons, in West Hempfield Township. "We live very normal lives."
