BYU religion professor Eric Huntsman shares the grief he felt when his grandfather died and how the story of Simeon brought him comfort.

These activities in California and Georgia were planned with everyone in mind.

Elder Renlund was joined on stage at the 2016 RootsTech Family Discovery Day by his wife and daughter, and each had surprising things to share about temple work and the covenants made there.

AT 7 P.M. this evening in Rome (1 P.M. EST), Hollis professor of divinity Karen L. King revealed to a conference of Coptic scholars the existence of a newly discovered Christian gospel. In the fragmentary text, Jesus refers unmistakably to “my wife.” Written on a piece of papyrus now reduced to just four centimeters high and eight wide, the fragment addresses issues of family and discipleship. “This is the only extant ancient text which explicitly portrays Jesus as referring to a wife,” King writes in her scholarly paper on the “The Gospel of Jesus’s Wife,” which she presented at the Tenth International Congress of Coptic Studies. The session took place across the street from the Vatican at the Institutum Patristicum Augustinianum, a research center within the faculty of theology at the Pontifical Lateran University (known as the Pope’s University).

In the stillness of the budding spring of Sharon, Vermont, Kimberly Jo Smith stood in the quiet forest for the first time, looking down on the remaining moss-covered foundation stones of the home where her great-great grandfather was born. Standing at Joseph Smith’s birthplace last May, she completed the circle of her family’s story. After Joseph’s death his children all chose paths outside of the Church, leaving their children and grandchildren in various places and various faiths. In Kimberly’s generation some of them started to come back. When Kimberly was twelve years old she first learned of Joseph and Emma, beginning a twenty-four year journey into the Church that Joseph restored.

The LDS Church News posted an article recently that highlighted the work of volunteer Keith Finlayson restoring rare images from the Church History Library. Daguerreotypes, glass plate negatives, and tintypes have all been coming to life and giving little glimpses into the past under the careful hands of Brother Finlayson.

High school. A necessary evil, I guess. Well, it’s not really evil, but the homework is. Especially in history. In my U.S. history class we’d learned about the Pilgrims and Puritans, the Founding Fathers, and the expansion from the original colonies. It all sounded familiar.

“I can hardly wait to jump out of bed every morning to see what will happen in this gathering process,” President Russell M. Nelson said about the joy he finds inviting others to Christ.
