By Tourburst

According to statistical research conducted last year, the average family that tours Nauvoo visits only 13 sites while on vacation in the historic town. “There are two problems with that,” says resident Matthew Von Trapp. “First, there are easily 60 historic sites, landmarks, and points of interest worth visiting in the immediate area, each lending perspective to the LDS time period.

Elder and Sister Renlund on How Those Outside the Church Can Access Priesthood Power

By Dale G. Renlund

All blessings come from God’s total priesthood power and authority. Priesthood power and blessings, by that expanded definition, have been and always will be available to all who qualify for them, without restriction based on gender, birth order, or lineage. This principle can readily be seen from multiple examples in which God’s power was manifest at a time when conferred priesthood did not exist on the earth.

Preparing for Easter: Ideas for Celebrating

By Eric D. Huntsman

For both children and adults alike, Christmas is, and probably always will be, a much bigger and more attractive holiday than Easter. Further, the date of Easter makes it difficult to plan for and get excited about, while Christmas is fixed for western Christians on December 25. The date of Easter, dependent as it is upon a lunar calendar, moves around from year to year, often catching us by surprise. But in his Christmas message in 2000, President Gordon B. Hinckley made it clear that Easter really is the more important of the two holidays: “There would be no Christmas if there had not been Easter. The baby Jesus of Bethlehem would be but another baby without the redeeming Christ of Gethsemane and Calvary, and the triumphant fact of the Resurrection.”
