To one degree or another, every person will face doubt in the gospel of Jesus Christ. This isn’t because the gospel is weak, flawed, or because the Church stands on weak historical ground (spoiler: it doesn’t). Doubt occurs naturally, even with faithful, commandment-keeping members.

LDS Missionary: Finding the Light in Rhode Island

I remember reading about the Mormons for the first time. My only impression of them was that they were far more holy than I could ever be. Too good to be true, I thought. Yet I decided to approach this new religion with the same absence of bias that I had with every other religion. And so when I stumbled upon an advertisement for the Church offering a free copy of the Book of Mormon, I jumped at the chance. I think my two favorite words in the English language (especially when put together) are the words “free” and “book”, so to see a church offering such a thing felt like a gift from God. Surely, though, I had no clue how strongly that description would later resonate with me.

Instead, over the years he gradually left the church and withdrew himself even more from me and our children until eventually he left us.

New Utah trend? Grads plug Mormon missions at commencement

Hundreds of Bountiful High graduates lined up to receive their diplomas at the Regional Center in Woods Cross on Friday, many of whom have already received their LDS mission assignments since the minimum age went from 19 to 18 for young men. As is the custom, graduating seniors wrote their names on a card to be read aloud as they crossed the stage. Apparently, dozens of young men added what appeared to be the place of their Mormon mission as a "middle name" – as in John "Russia" Doe and James "New York" Smith.

Why Dysfunctional Families Belong in the Church
