Mormon with rare skin disease paints, sings and reachs out to others

Imagine being a child with a condition where you are as fragile as a butterfly's wings. On the outside, physical wounds prevent you from normal daily activities enjoyed by other children. Yet on the inside, your dreams are the same as any other child who loves, plays, learns and grows despite the pain and impediment caused by your condition. This is what Jamie Hartley, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from Alpine, went through during her childhood, and she continues to live with her condition.

Mesa Arizona Temple Christmas lights

Thousands of dangling lights illuminate towering palm trees. Clusters of brightly colored lights resemble bouquets blooming throughout the gardens. Carefully placed white lights on arches line the walkway directly in front of the temple. A stunning star of 10,000 twinkling lights beckons visitors to a large Nativity scene. Everywhere the lights of Christmas are a reminder of the light of Christ."We all recognize that lights are part of the traditional way we celebrate Christmas, but the spirit and feeling of the temple grounds add its own unique and special feeling," said David E. LeSueur, an Area Seventy. "Our thoughts are turned to the Savior and His mission."

Putting the Mormon faith at center stage

Don and Lee Preston, who teach at an international school near Shanghai, were sitting under a gaily striped tent on a recent Saturday in a field near the birthplace of the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith, helping entertain a group of Mormon teenagers. The Prestons could have gone home to Arizona for their vacation - "but we wanted to do something more meaningful with our summer than eating in restaurants and seeing movies," said Lee, 43.

American Fork LDS stake donates supplies to Zimbabwe village

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.

Romney should not be afraid to highlight his faith

Concerning Mormons and Republicans, history offers a large helping of irony. In 1843, an Army officer named John C. Fremont led a geographical expedition of 39 men more than 1,700 miles to the shores of the Great Salt Lake. His report on the journey inspired hounded Mormons to mount their wagons and resettle in the Great Basin. Thirteen years later in Philadelphia, Fremont became the first presidential nominee of the Republican Party, which adopted a platform opposing the “twin relics of barbarism — Polygamy, and Slavery.”

Hundreds of parents and students packed Thanksgiving Point's Show Barn on Friday night for the announcement that Liahona Preparatory Academy, a private LDS-based K-12 school in Pleasant Grove, will become Utah's first iSchool next month. All students, beginning in kindergarten, will be using iPads and apps as their primary education tool. The move, which begins in May, is necessary because moving to a digital education model is the only way to ensure students are prepared for the new digital world, said school officials.

“A Century of Honor” to Celebrate 100 Years of LDS Scouting

A century ago, Church leaders decided to partner with the fledgling Boy Scouts of America and sponsor a troop in Salt Lake City. From that inauspicious beginning, the Church would become the largest sponsor of that storied adventure program for boys. Millions of Latter-day Saints have worn the iconic Scout uniform at some point in their lives. Today, more than 430,000 LDS boys are registered as Scouts.
