Monique McDown had six months under her belt as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints serving in the Brazil Curitiba Mission when, on a Sunday afternoon while walking on a residential street, she heard a car approaching from behind. This was not unusual, but Monique encouraged her companion to join her in scooting over as far as they could to the side of the road. She recalls hearing the car’s engine rev before she was struck by the left front corner of the vehicle. Monique was awake and alert through the entire incident. She made eye contact with the driver before he sped off, never to be seen again.

Steve Young never backs down from a challenge. In fact, his tenacity is the hallmark of his football career and every other aspect of his life. From tirelessly perfecting his game to earning a law degree from BYU while in the NFL (which even required him to attend class the day after his 1994 Super Bowl victory) to enduring years of criticism while he searched for “the one” to marry, Young has never hesitated to do the work required to achieve his goals.
There are many good things Mormons have been encouraged to participate in—from youth programs and service activities to food storage and firesides. One of the activities we’ve been counseled to do is to keep a journal. President Spencer W. Kimball said, “We urge every person in the Church to keep a diary or a journal from youth up, all through his [or her] life. Would every family...train their children from young childhood to keep a journal of the important activities of their lives, and certainly when they begin to leave home for schooling and missions?” (Spencer W. Kimball “The Foundations of Righteousness,” October 1977 general conference.)
Here’s a fun fact—the word for “Ruth” in Hebrew means "compassionate friend." And when you think of how friendship was all Ruth and Naomi had during a time of uncertainty, that name has an extra special meaning. As we study the book of Ruth and 1 Samuel 1–3 this week, we’ll see how this compassionate friendship exists between Ruth and Naomi and between all of us and Christ as we face challenges and uncertainties in our lives.
“Those six months were the most spiritual and happiest time of my life.”
At a time in my marriage when everything seemed to be colliding—family differences, work pressures, stressful finances, hectic schedules, health problems—I found myself rolling my eyes, grumbling, or snapping at my husband far too often. I felt stretched thin, kept at my maximum stress threshold, and any tipping of the scales sent everything crashing down on the both of us.
Anyone who has spent time doing family history research or indexing has likely come across an interesting name or two. Sometimes we love names from history, and other times they’ve become outdated enough to prompt a chuckle.
