As the event gets closer, I have been blessed with the amazing opportunity to receive conversion stories from wonderful people, from all over the world. (I think the people at work were worried about me because I was pretending that something was in my eye, multiple times a day.)

Largest Church History Site's Expansion Will "Share the Spiritual Significance of Our Faith" with Nonmembers

Decanonization has occurred in Mormon scriptures

Remember the Lectures on Faith sections in the Mormon scripture, “Doctrine and Covenants?” No? But they were there for 86 years? I’m reading an 1918 “Doctrine and Covenants” and sure enough, there’s Lectures on Faith.” What about “Section 101″ in early D&C editions, the “Article on Marriage” that says men and women should only have one spouse?
