Church members recently had a unique opportunity for a live Q&A with Elder Bednar as he ministered and answered questions one by one.

Amy Harris is a native of Ogden, Utah. Without any effort on her part, she was raised by spectacularly good parents and particularly stellar siblings, a blessing she is daily grateful for. She began filling out pedigree charts when she was six or seven and has never lost her love of the past and her interest in family relations. A professor of history and family history at BYU, Amy’s research focuses on families, women, and gender in eighteenth-century Britain, though she has also written on family and genealogy in the Latter-day Saint context. In 2017 she delivered a BYU forum talk about genealogical consciousness titled, somewhat inexplicably, “How dead cats, your siblings, eighteenth-century English clergy, making lists, TED talks, evolutionary biology, Susa Young Gates, and my mom can save the world from being utterly wasted.” Her most recent work, A Single View: Family Life and the Unmarried in Georgian England will be published by Oxford University Press next year. Amy currently serves as coordinator for BYU’s Family History bachelor’s program.

This morning, Elder Holland posted on Facebook, expressing gratitude for the prayers and sweet gestures extended to his family and announcing his gradual return to work.

The Church has named Derrick Porter as the new executive producer, principal writer, and presenter of “Music & the Spoken Word,” replacing Lloyd Newell, who has served for the past 34 years.

This year, seven world-class BYU performing groups—Vocal Point & Noteworthy, Theatre Ballet, Living Legends, Young Ambassadors, Ballroom Dance Company, Contemporary Dance Theatre, and the International Folk Dance Ensemble—will light up the Salt Lake Valley with their exceptional talent and artistry.

In his talk entitled, “Spiritual Treasures” given in 2019, President Nelson stated, “The heavens are.. open to women who are endowed with God’s power flowing from their priesthood covenants.” We might read this and wonder, how? As women, we sincerely want to understand how we can better draw upon God’s power. And perhaps, we’d like to know what we might be misunderstanding and where we can grow.

President Christofferson spoke during a devotional on Tuesday, December 1, 2025, at Brigham Young University.

As Latter-day Saints, we tend to assume that the heavens were sealed until the Sacred Grove appearance in 1820 and that the Restoration didn't really begin until Moroni tutored Joseph and subsequently gave him the plates in 1827. But that isn't entirely true.

The Alcantar family—mom Ange, dad Sal, and four of their five children aged 2 to 10—are three months into a two-year adventure around the world visiting as many LDS temples and historical sites as they can.

You wouldn’t know it by looking at her today, but Ann Romney was once 100 percent tomboy.
