The announcement of seven new temples to be built across the world (three of which are the first in their countries) this conference was an exciting and historic message to many members—and it even fulfilled prophecy.
The following is adapted from J. Golden Kimball: The Remarkable Man Behind the Colorful Stories by Kathryn Jenkins Gordan.
INTRODUCTION: Cain’s query of the Lord has echoed down the corridors of time: “Am I my brother’s keeper?” (Moses 5:34) And the answer has followed close at hand. Religious history is filled with tales of sacrifice made by men and women in behalf of their brothers and sisters. We have always considered that the greatest among us have been those willing to enter harm’s way in behalf of others, whether friends or strangers. It is proved conclusively by the firefighters and policemen who rushed into the towers of the World Trade Center while everyone else was rushing out. It is also exemplified by thousands of missionaries who have entered into the vineyard of the Lord to save souls and by faithful visiting and home teachers—and by a multitude of others.
Paris is not a Mormon and plays a non-Mormon teenager while Kaley is not a Mormon and plays a Mormon teenager in the upcoming film, Once I Was a Beehive (in theaters August 14th).

It was a welcome revelation, because as far as my writing has gone, it has seemed that God has had no strong feelings on what I should write. I know He cares about my hobbies and interests, of course, but as I’ve prayed about what to write in recent years, passing ideas by Him or asking for direction, it’s almost been as though His answer has been, “Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. You could do that. Whatever you feel you want to do is fine with me.”

Whimsical. Endearing. Magical. Mysterious. These are a few among a host of words that can describe the famous Albus Dumbledore, but among the most accurate is wise. Like many children born in the '90s, I was raised on the Harry Potter books and the words of Albus Dumbledore, who taught me what true bravery and power look like.
Much of how we worship is drawn directly from biblical roots, building upon the patterns of ancient Israel in the Old Testament and the first Christians in the New Testament. Though we learn many of these patterns directly from these texts, our current practices have also been drawn heavily from Christian tradition. Indeed, since worship goes back to Adam and Eve, we know that it is the result of the natural yearning of children to seek a Parent who loves, cares, and provides for them.
