MSNBC: Mitt Romney's French missionary education

To understand why Mitt Romney persists in the face of rejection, opposition and indifference from his own party, look no further than the two and a half years he spent in France, getting up at 6:30 a.m. every day to venture forth and have doors slammed in his face for 10 hours. The fresh-faced Latter-Day Saints who came to France in the late 1960s to preach the message of Jesus Christ — of whom Republican presidential candidate Romney is the best known — discovered a secular and skeptical populace, and few willing converts.

Understanding Eternal Life

Eternal Life. How would you define eternal life? Heaven? A place of happiness? What we receive after we endure to the end? The place where God lives? Being exalted and living with our Heavenly Father? I've heard these and much more in my many years in the church. Eternal life was always one of those big general ideas in the church that I knew about by hearing it in context with other topics, but one that I couldn't seem to define. Until one day I read a scripture that changed my life.

16 Mormon Moments in Pop Culture from 2014 & 2015

New Mormon movie celebrates mountain man handcart hero

There could probably be a dozen movies made about the trials and misadventures of the handcart pioneers, early members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who piled their belongings into boxy carts and walked to the Utah Territory in the late 1850s. So far, Utah filmmaker T.C. Christensen has made two of them. In 2011, Christensen dramatically revived the ever-waning Mormon movie scene with "17 Miracles," a pioneer historical drama boldly released in the heart of the summer blockbuster season that turned out to be something of a minor miracle itself, selling tickets at first-run theaters in Utah for months. Now he's ready to do it again.
