Elder Christofferson and Pulitzer Prize-Winning Journalist Talk Lessons from Watergate in New Video

By LDS Living

In 1973, Bob Woodward was a young reporter for the Washington Post when he won a Pulitzer Prize for his pursuit of the Watergate scandal. His influence on the events that led to Richard Nixon’s resignation, the first-ever resignation from a U.S. president, is undeniable. Since Watergate, he has written many books, been portrayed in a Hollywood movie by Robert Redford, and appeared on countless network news programs, but on Monday, he sat down with Elder D. Todd Christofferson. During Watergate, Elder Christofferson was a young law clerk for Judge John J. Sirica and was among the first to listen to President Nixon’s White House tapes.

Preparing Youth for the Temple

By LDS Living Staff

Until the time a child turns 8, teaching is usually focused on baptism: its importance, its symbolism, its purpose. But what happens between 8 and 12? Are the 12-year-olds of the church prepared to enter the temple and do baptisms for the dead? Do they understand the sacredness of the place and the reverent respect it deserves? By making the temple a familiar and well-loved part of your child’s growing years, and by preparing even more after baptism, your child can have a greater appreciation for and be better prepared to enter the sacred house of the Lord. This was inspired by a recent ldschurchnews article by the Primary general presidency.
