Modesty matters. When Noelle Pikus-Pace, the Olympic skeleton racer, was invited to a photo shoot, she was presented with an immodest red dress to promote healthy hearts. In spite of the hectic pressure she was under, she remembered the commitment she had made, as a Young Woman, of always choosing to be modest. She decided to refuse to wear the dress. Another dress was found for her, and she was respected for her personal code of modesty.

Two young adult women share their experiences in deciding whether or not to serve a full-time mission.

When Jews share their religious beliefs with others, they don’t automatically assume that they are familiar with Judaism, and usually do a beautiful job of expressing their thoughts using secular terms that can be understood by all. However, well-meaning Mormons who discuss their beliefs with Jews often sound like they’re writing or speaking to other Mormons, not to non-Christians. Many a Jewish acquaintance or reader has contacted me after hearing a Mormon explain a religious principle using language that didn’t resonate with him or her. In my experience, this often happens when Mormons use Jewish instead of Christian terms to describe their beliefs and practices. I recently came across an essay penned by a Mormon that referred to the LDS sacrament as our “kiddush.” According to Mormon doctrine, bread and water (the sacrament) are blessed and passed to congregants during a special weekly meeting to remind them of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Those who eat the bread and drink the water take upon themselves the name of Christ and promise to always remember Him and keep His commandments. Needless to say, these concepts are very far from the minds of Jews who recite kiddush on Shabbat or Yom Tov.

As members of the Church, we know that weakness, trials, and challenges are a necessary part of our mortal experience, but they can often seem overwhelming or discouraging.

Recently, ESPN featured LDS college basketball star Frank Jackson, sharing all about Mormon missions and how Jackson has decided to embark on a different kind of mission.

MR says: Back in 1850, this Mormon gold piece wasn't so rare, and it was worth only $5. In fact, a later assay of the coin put its actual value at only $4.30. But now, this coin is one of very few that have survived, and it is going up for auction, with the current bid reaching $37,500. Find out more about the history of this coin below.

We all loved President Thomas S. Monson for his storytelling, his ear-wiggling—and the beautiful words of poetry that he shared.

It's inevitable—Church doctrine is going to come into conflict with what's popular or what's constantly in the media. But how do we help our kids explain tough truths when this happens?

On Facebook, President Eyring asked Latter-day Saints to strive to do two things today. The first was to do as the Savior did, while the second encompassed something much more difficult but even more important—to love as the Savior loved.

It's amazing how our examples can influence people in ways we don't even realize. Take, for instance, this family that became drawn to the Church after watching Mormon families on YouTube.
