Flooding in Chile Leaves 2 Missionaries Without Contact

The immense flooding in parts of Chile, brought on by strong rains in the Desert of Atacama, leaves the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints without contact with two missionaries. The Public Affairs Department of the Church in Chile stated, “We have made contact with all of the zone leaders in the affected zones… All of the missionaries have been communicated with and are safe, except contact with two missionaries in the area of ‘Diego de Almagro,’ who haven’t been contacted because of the lack of communication mediums.”

Mormon History Group Honors Darius Gray

Seven years before President Spencer W. Kimball received a revelation allowing black men to be ordained to the priesthood in the LDS Church, Darius Gray knelt in prayer with two other black male Latter-day Saints.

Hinckley, then a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles — as advisers.

The owners of the Greenery restaurant can’t swear on a Book of Mormon that the recipe for their hearty muffins was the same one used by pioneers pulling handcarts. After all, Kellogg’s wasn’t around then to sell one of the key ingredients, All-Bran cereal. But Rob King, whose family owns the Rainbow Gardens, the building that houses the restaurant, declares the Mormon Muffins a "treasured pioneer recipe." He said they were at the very least inspired by Mormons, who arrived in Salt Lake City 166 years ago on July 24, 1847.

Revisiting the Mormon issue

The Mormon issue is rearing its head again in this campaign. An online article in the latest issue of US News (9/27/2012) notes that some political phone calls have raised the Mormon issue. The article refers to Deal Hudson, "the president of the Pennsylvania Catholics Network and an expert on Catholic outreach," and says that he is alarmed after finding out "that a group calling itself Catholics for Obama had been making push poll phone calls in support of the president's re-election bid. Among the questions being asked, he said, was 'How can you support a "Mormon" who does not believe in Jesus Christ?'"
