Church Community Builds Beds for Refugees in Utah

It’s a bed that makes an enormous difference — an individual bed to sleep in as an alternative to a mat, a tarp or just plain dirt. After months, years and sometimes decades of wandering, of running, of confinement in refugee camps and of escaping, some very fortunate asylum seekers receive their first gift in Salt Lake City, Utah — a bed, complete with a mattress and a hand-tied quilt, as a symbolic beginning to their resettlement in the United States of America.

RS/MP Lesson 46: “The Final Judgment” (Gospel Principles Manual)

As always, I try to hit each section briefly and offer some food for thought through the scriptures quoted. I also give questions for each section. My hope is that these questions make you come up with questions of your own. My questions, and commentary, are mostly rhetorical to help guide your own thoughts on the subject. Judgments of God

Every day on my mission between 8:30-8:47am, I had one eye on my missionary-approved books and the other on a long window that overlooked the car park. I wasn’t looking out for investigators or members. I was waiting for the quick flash of yellow, a familiar smudge on my peripheral vision. When that happened, it was mail time!

Resources for December Youth Lessons: Building the Kingdom of God in the Latter Days

Each month, LDS youth around the world study a different doctrinal principle that is coordinated across Young Men, Young Women, and youth Sunday School classes. The topic for December is Building the Kingdom of God in the Latter Days. The youth were sent to the earth at this specific time to help prepare the world for the Second Coming of the Savior. They have special gifts and talents that the Lord wants them to use to help build His kingdom and share His gospel. The classroom discussions during December will help them develop those gifts as they prepare to become leaders and teachers in the Church and kingdom of God.

The myths of big families

There was a girl in my grade in elementary school whose family had FIVE kids. When I first met her, I remember saying, “Whoa,” like Sarah had just moved in from outer space instead of Shelton, Connecticut, the town to our north.

I made a lot of assumptions about Sarah’s family when I was a little girl.
