President Monson's Last Messages to Members of the Church
By Danielle B. Wagner
As I've been studying the words and guidance of our beloved President Thomas S. Monson this week, the range and depth of the wisdom he shared stagger me. With 54 years of apostolic and prophetic counsel and advice, not to mention books and biographies that detail the intimate lessons and details of his life, it's hard to comprehend the unfailing service, devotion, faith, and commitment of this great man.
The Church in Brazil
By Briana Stewart
The history of the Church in Brazil actually began in Germany, danke very much. The first known member in the country was Max Richard Zapf, who was baptized in Germany in 1908 and immigrated to Brazil in 1913. After years passed with no Church contact, Zapf learned there was another German LDS family, the Lippelts, living in Brazil. These two families—who became fast friends—represented the beginning of the Church’s permanent presence in the South American country.

Discovering a Renewed Richness in the Gospel
By Adapted from "Power of Stillness: Mindful Living for Latter-day Saints" by Jacob Z. Hess, Carrie L. Skarda, Kyle D. Anderson, and Ty R. Mansfield
Compared with a once-soulful experience of prayer and scripture study, many of us know what it’s like to find spiritual practices becoming impoverished, superficial, and thin. Although it’s easy to conclude that prayer or scriptures themselves are somehow limited, it would be shortsighted not to also consider ways in which larger tendencies toward distractedness, stressful busyness, and an accelerating pace of life might be playing a role.

How Elder Echo Hawk Showed His Faith, Defied Racism and Anti-Mormonism to Become an Attorney General
By Larry J. Echo Hawk
The federal government took my father from his parents and sent him to a boarding school where he was physically beaten if he spoke the Pawnee language or practiced his native culture. My sister was sent home from a public school because her skin was the wrong color. I heard a public schoolteacher describe Indians as “savage, bloodthirsty, heathen renegades.” Perhaps most painful, during my early childhood, my family had no expectation of achieving a higher education and becoming doctors, lawyers, or engineers. A college education seemed beyond our reach.

Ordinances are conducted by the same authority and manner in the Philippines as they are in France.

4 Ways to Integrate Your Study of Ancient and Modern Scripture
By Stephanie Sorensen
Scripture is a hallmark of religion, and we believe that regular scripture study is a key to spiritual progress and protection. The Latter-day Saint scripture library includes the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price. The Lord also instructed us to treat the teachings of living prophets as scripture: “For his word ye shall receive, as if from mine own mouth, in all patience and faith” (D&C 21:5). How can we maintain a course of study that draws upon both sources and gives them the attention they deserve? Here are four ways you can seamlessly integrate your study of the standard works with your study of the teachings of living prophets.
