The interview describes 10 categories and multiple milestones in Church history during the time Elder Nelson has been an Apostle. For more fun facts on Elder Nelson, click here.

Mormon Channel's new video, "Refuge from the Storm," is a touching reminder of the challenges refugees face and the help Church members can provide.

Lyndsey Howell was born and raised in beautiful Bangor, Northern Ireland, a country divided by religion. Her grandparents converted to the Church in the 1960s and she is thankful for their decision to listen to the missionaries. Despite being the only member of the Church through most of her high school years, she is grateful for the opportunity that gave her to develop and defend her testimony to her peers. She is married to the “world’s best home teacher” after they met at their BYU ward and he faithfully visited her every day with offerings of Diet Coke and an eternity of happiness. They are the parents of five children, and call the Pacific Northwest home. She holds a Bachelor of Music from BYU, and especially loves to share her testimony of the gospel through music. Her family is her greatest passion, and she loves spending time with them, whether it be snow skiing, boating, or snuggling together watching movies, eating good food, and making each other laugh until they cry.

What if instead of simply reading about the tree of life, you could walk the strait and narrow path? Look toward the great and spacious building from the perspective of those holding to the Rod of Iron? Stand with Lehi and modern-day youth at the tree of life?
