17: “What Shall I Do to Inherit Eternal Life?” (Matthew 18; Luke 10)

Why is the sky blue? Why is the sea salty? How do birds fly? Kids always seem to be asking questions that are hard to answer—but did you know that their curiosity plays an important role in the cognitive development of their brain? Questions stimulate the mind and increase our capacity to grow. And in this week's study of Matthew 18 and Luke 10, we have an opportunity to become childlike and grow just like our young friends. So get ready to explore the spiritual questions in these chapters just like a child and discover the truths within.

LDS leader writes about why Mormons make good neighbors

In the midst of World War II, Franklin D. Roosevelt came across a newspaper clipping about the ancestry of England's Prime Minister Winston Churchill and his wife, Clementine.

And I wish on a star that somewhere you are thinking of me too.” These first lines of legendary singer Selena’s “Dreaming of You” may have been written about a romantic relationship, but they also apply to family history work.
