Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can be found at every level of society — in business and charity, education and the sciences, political parties and government, the entertainment industry and news media. Describing the character of Latter-day Saints, Newsweek magazine wrote: “No matter where Mormons live, they find themselves part of a network of mutual concern; in Mormon theology everyone is a minister of a kind, everyone is empowered in some way to do good to others, and to have good done unto them: it is a 21st century covenant of caring. This caring is not limited to Church members alone, but extends far beyond.”

1930 Fraud Against an LDS Southwestern Mission

In 1930, when this episode took place, the term “Mexican Mission” included Mexico and also Spanish-speakers in the United States. Political conditions necessitated that mission headquarters be in the United States, and those headquarters had recently been moved from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles, California. The president was Rey L. Pratt, who had already served for years as president of the Mexican Mission, both in Mexico and “in exile.” With his broad responsibilities for all things Mexican and Spanish-speaking, President Pratt assisted a group of Spanish-speaking Saints in Mesa, Arizona. Those Saints had worked hard to raise the funds to build their chapel, and in 1930 everything was coming together for them.

Mitt Romney and Those 'Mormon Moments'

From Donny and Marie Osmond, to HBO's "Big Love," to Proposition 8 in California, to persistent -- and inaccurate -- Beltway legends about how half of the CIA is staffed by members of the LDS Church, America's Mormons have a way of episodically popping into the national consciousness. The recent ascent of Mitt Romney to the status of presumptive Republican nominee is no exception to this rule. It is yet another "Mormon moment" in a long string of such moments dating back to the 19th century.

Vai's View: Recognize others' potential and help them develop it

Few things are more damning for a professional sports organization than identifying, drafting and signing a player, only to release or trade him, then watching him flourish on another team or in a different system. That's part of the phenomenon of Linsanity in New York. Jeremy Lin went undrafted out of Harvard yet passed through the camps and rosters of the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets before becoming a star in the Big Apple. There's a long list of athletes who didn't flourish until their second or third team.

Giving SIDS the bootie: BYU invention alerts parents if baby stops breathing

Every parent worries about their baby. They worry while it’s eating, while it’s playing—and especially while it’s sleeping. But a new device created by BYU students may help parents rest easier while their baby sleeps. Student innovator Jacob Colvin and his team created a baby monitor that straps around an infant’s foot and uses pulse oximetry to monitor the heart rate and blood-oxygen levels. If the infant stops breathing or has a significant change in heart rate the monitor will notify parents by alerting them on their smart phone.

How to Decide Between a Boyfriend and a Mission

Before my mission and during my mission I was a huge advocate for sisters serving missions. If a girl told me she was going to leave a boyfriend to serve a mission I supported that decision. In my mind nothing could be better than a mission. If things were truly meant to be between the girl and her boy, it would work out.

Mormon Video: History of the Relief Society

I am the “Additional Weekday Meeting Coordinator” (previously Enrichment Leader) in the Relief Society [organization for women] in my ward congregation. Ironically, all but two of my three sisters and two sisters-in-law have the same calling. In my opinion, this is the best calling in the Church. I am the party planner and the person that helps coordinate the activities that allow the women to do both the work of Relief Society and strengthen our bonds as sisters. I am married with four children. We have lived in Nashville, TN, Northern Utah, and a year ago moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, which we have loved! I enjoy cooking, baking, sewing, reading, traveling, and learning new things, which always ends up adding to my list of things I enjoy doing.
