Richard G. Scott serves as an Apostle for the Quorum of the Twelve for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But did you know that as a kid, his parents trusted him and his brothers to fix the family car? They once put a caboose whistle on the exhaust manifold as a joke (“Richard G. Scott”). In this biography of Richard G. Scott, read about how he came to learn and love the gospel, the influence of his beloved wife, and his faithfulness to the Church.

President Uchtdorf speaks at fireside, urges listeners to learn to recognize the truth

Individuals have a personal obligation to search for and find truth, said President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, second counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, during a Church Educational System devotional address in the Marriott Center at BYU on Sunday night. "It seems to be part of our nature as human beings to make assumptions about people, politics and piety based on our incomplete and often misleading experience. ... So often the 'truths' we tell ourselves are merely fragments of the truth and sometimes, they're not really the truth at all," he said.

10 Questions to Ask Yourself If Your Testimony is Faltering

This is the second part of a two-part article. To read the first part of the article, click here: The Troubled Testimony – Diagnosis. The first part talks about the things that make us feel lost or alone spiritually. There are times and situations that try what we believe and challenge our belief system. If we are not spiritually strong to start with, it becomes increasingly difficult to fight off the spiritual sickness that follows these attacks. The attacks on our faith may be deliberate or completely accidental. In either case, being spiritually sound will help you survive the encounters that will always come sooner or later.

Let's have more articles about LDS young adults

Sometimes when reading articles about the LDS Church, I see approaches to stories that make journalists appear much as zoologists; they seem to be observing the unusual habits of people in their gilded cages.

Church marks 50 Years of interpretation at general conference

Edna Alba recalls sitting at a banquet table, bulky headset in place and her feet resting on a dirt floor underneath the Tabernacle during a session of general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon). Alba assumed the task of interpreting the meeting's proceedings from English to her native Spanish language. Not only was there a dirt floor, but also an Army tent pitched as a protective barrier from interrupting noises.Alba was one of the very early interpreters for conference proceedings, beginning her volunteer service in 1966.

Small Steps in the Right Direction

There’s a quote going around the internet that goes something along the lines of “Never allow yourself to be defined by someone else’s opinion of you.” I really love the message behind this quote but in every version of this quote that I’ve seen, it’s always missing the most important part…the “including yourself” part.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

1987 – I’m ten, and my tiny country school has sent the Grade 5 and 6 class (all 15 of us) 550kms/370 miles to Sydney. We tour the harbour, a historic site, and lunchtime has us sitting on the steps of the Sydney Opera House. Frankly, we’re all overwhelmed. Our town doesn’t even have three hundred people living there, only enough for one pub, a library the size of two parking spaces, and the nearest restaurant or cinema is two hours’ drive away. To be under the hot sun in Sydney, where it looks like the entire world has come for lunch, with different languages and smells and weird looking people whirling around us – I try to absorb every detail and not freak out at the same time.

A Mormon blogger against blogging

At last month's Women and the LDS Church conference, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich's stimulating plenary address was a guided romp through the archives, sharing some of the best bits of the sources for her latest project on 19th-century Mormon women. Though her tone was upbeat and very funny, her theme was tragic: the appalling scarcity of surviving Mormon women's diaries.

Nevertheless, she emphasized the richness of the records that do exist, the power of their implicit witness and invitation. Ulrich is, on this point as on every other, indisputably correct.
