The One Way You're Already Doing Family History--And Didn't Even Realize It

Sister Linda K. Burton, General President of the Relief Society of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, gave some inspiring council to young mothers and other busy LDS Church members relating to family history. “As we live—raising children, working jobs, caring for parents, fulfilling Church callings, and serving in our communities—we are putting together the puzzle of our lives, creating our own family history. Try adding small and simple things to intensify the Spirit of Elijah in your life and draw your family closer on both sides of the veil.”

Mormons: Not necessarily who you think they are

A substantial accumulation of polling data over the years has given us a pretty clear picture of current public perceptions of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Among the most consistent, top-of-mind impressions is that of a Utah church with a heavily Caucasian membership. Naturally, Utah will always be associated with the church, as its global headquarters and the place which provided refuge way back in the mid-1800s when a less friendly America forced the fledgling faith to uproot from Illinois and Missouri and move West. Today, Utah and the surrounding states of the intermountain West still claim the heaviest concentrations of Latter-day Saints, and provide substantial support to the church’s missionary efforts and other church programs.

Five Things about the Word of Wisdom You Might Have Overlooked

Some of my non-LDS sisters-in-law are veterans in the professional fitness field. Their (non-LDS) husbands and partners of past and present come from a wide range of fitness buffs: bodybuilders, athletes, yoga gurus, gym owners, physicians, and endurance race participants. Being physically active and health conscious, these non-LDS family members take food choice extremely seriously. They consume only organic fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. If a medical research result discovered that mercury was the new quinoa, it’d be included in their diet that very same day. Their dedication and commitment to maintain optimal physical health make them seem healthier than the rest of the family who keeps the Word of Wisdom.

Elder David Archuleta at the MTC - as seen by fellow elders and sisters

Murray native and "American Idol" finalist David Archuleta began his journey to become a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by entering the Missionary Training Center in late March. It was thought that once he went inside the doors of the secretive Provo institution, the 21-year-old would be out of the public eye for about two years, spending about 10 weeks at the MTC and then the rest of his time in his assigned mission, reportedly in Chile.

Seeing the Light of Christ in a State Prison

I have been able to speak at Utah State Prison 4 times now, (twice on the men’s side, twice on the women’s), and I am forever changed by it. I have been to some really incredible and beautiful places, meeting literally hundreds of great people a day. Tons of different stories and backgrounds and challenges and successes—all that have had some sort of impact on me, and yet when I went to the prison to speak March of 2013 it has still been my absolute favorite place I have ever been. I'll share a little bit of what I wrote in my personal journal in 2013 after my visit to the men’s side:
