In a live broadcast, President Russell M. Nelson will announce the new leadership of the LDS Church on Jan. 16.
It takes an average of five years to translate and produce the Book of Mormon in another language, according to LDS Church Public Affairs.
From American Fork to Zimbabwe sounds like an advertisement for something that covers the entire alphabet. In reality, it's a humanitarian service project. Members of the American Fork Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have been sorting, packing and preparing items to ship to individuals at the other end of the alphabet in Africa. There was a sign in front of the stake building, "Zimbabwe donations," directing those who were bringing items to the back of the building. That was where the doors were open, but much of the building was full of clothing, school kits, newborn kits, puppets, school bags, toys, hygiene kits and more.
An article in the New York Times on Thursday, Sept. 8, made me laugh out loud when I read it. The story, written by reporter Pete Thamel, explains that in recent decades of college football, the euphemism, “Little Sisters of the Poor,” has been used to describe a super weak opponent.
First came the mammoth earthquake on Oct. 15. Then the raging typhoon on Nov. 7. The back-to-back disasters provided LDS Bishop Henry Patalinghug, wife Russel and other Mormons in the Philippines a chance to help their suffering neighbors. Bishop Patalinghug, who oversees the Busay Ward in Cebu City, traveled by boat to the epicenter of the earthquake with 18 other Mormon men skilled in carpentry and masonry on the first weekend in November. They were scheduled to continue to sacrifice three days each weekend until the jobs were done, but before they could leave again Friday, word came that Typhoon Haiphan was rampaging toward them.
You probably won't find them at the bar downing shots of Patron or at Starbucks waiting for a double-shot espresso, but if you think the closest you've ever been to a Mormon is a Mitt Romney bumper sticker, you're probably wrong.

The more than 14 million members the LDS church counts worldwide-including 4,600 members in the Chicago area-make it a prominent Christian religion, and shows like TLC's "Sister Wives" (even if they don't reflect actual Mormon doctrine) draw pop culture attention to the faith.
When President Russell M. Nelson announced the need to correct usage of the full name of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he concluded with this clarification: “Additional information about this important matter will be made available in the coming months.” Less than two months later, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir changed its name to the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) has released renderings of the Hartford Connecticut and Indianapolis Indiana Temples, as well as the site location of the Hartford Temple.

The Indianapolis Indiana Temple site (in the city of Carmel on the southwest corner of the intersection of W116th and Spring Mill Road) was announced in January 2011
