MR says: The next time you have to prepare a lesson in Church, remember to follow the example of the Master Teacher.

I was called as the mission president of the France Bordeaux Mission in 1989, and we arrived in Bordeaux in the month of July. The mission was just opening, and we were the first family to live in the mission home, which was still being furnished when we arrived. The mission home needed a piano, and we were encouraged to visit local music stores to find one. It seemed with each store we entered, seeing our missionary tags with the name of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the proprietor of the store would say, “I know one of your members, Philippe Moreau.” Philippe was a concert pianist of some reputation in Bordeaux, and I was impressed that he was so open about his beliefs. I expected to meet him soon. When we did not meet him, I asked the leaders in Bordeaux about Philippe Moreau. Their countenances saddened at the question, and they informed me that he was no longer a member of the Church. They explained that he had joined the Church in his late teens and had been a fervent disciple of the Savior, but then had moved away from the Savior’s teachings.

Today marks a unique 175th anniversary in Church history. On October 24, 1841, Elder Orson Hyde traveled to Jerusalem, climbed the Mount of Olives, and dedicated the land for the return of the Jewish people. He offered a dedicatory prayer that focused on the gathering of Judah, the building up of Jerusalem, and the building of a temple.

As a supplement to this year's Relief Society and Priesthood lessons from the life of President Howard W. Hunter, the Church History department has created an online photo gallery and timelineabout the life of this wonderful prophet. Here are some photographic highlights and facts about Howard Hunter that you might not have known, ones that will help you love him even more.

Feeling the power of 350 voices, woven in harmony, inside one of the most acoustically perfect buildings in the world, is an experience not available to everyone.

When a magnitude 9.0 earthquake triggered a tsunami in March 2011 that caused an estimated $309 billion USD in damage in Japan, an unlikely consequence was that it affected children on both sides of the Pacific Ocean—but in different ways. In Seattle, Washington, USA, students in Camille Churchill’s kindergarten-through-sixth-grade class at White Center Heights Elementary School were “shocked” and moved to compassion when they saw before-and-after pictures of the tsunami’s aftermath, Ms. Churchill said.
