Dear Dave,

Sitting between bookends atop a filing cabinet a few feet from my office is an assembly of books, all with the same title and content but each one rendered in a different language. “Le Livre de Mormon.” “Das Buch Mormon.” “El Libro de Mormón.” There are several in non-Latin scripts. Chinese in simplified characters. Russian in its Cyrillic. Japanese with its blend of ancient and modern alphabets. A few are in languages most people haven’t heard of. Quechua. Chamorro. Fante. The Book of Mormon-- translated fully or partly into more than a hundred languages and with 150 million copies in print to date - may be the most readily identifiable factor that sets members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints apart from other Christians.

The main ingredients used here are freeze-dried corn, Monterey Jack cheese, and roast beef. Let me just say that freeze-dried foods are amazing! They have excellent shelf lives and will give you the ability to have meat, cheese, etc. during an emergency. Simply add some warm water and a few minutes later they are ready to go!

“The Vision of the Redemption of the Dead is a great addition to our scriptures and reveals more fully than any passages found in the scriptures that Jesus Christ loves all the daughters and sons of God and provided them the way to return home,” President M. Russell Ballard said.

Though still in intensive care, Myles Rackley continues to heal even as his community gathered together to hear messages of faith, forgiveness, and comfort. Myles and his mother and younger brother were shot while walking home from school on Tuesday.

With their cassava fields decimated by disease, world cassava markets shrinking, and the country still reeling from the effects of a long civil war, Church leaders in the DR Congo were concerned about their members' welfare. Men, accustomed to working in the fields, found themselves with no gainful employment. Members of all ages were suffering from severe hunger and malnutrition. Church leaders sought help from LDS Charities to salvage this important crop to provide jobs and much needed nourishment. Cassava is a woody, edible root that grows well in poor soils with little rainfall. It is the world's third-largest source of carbohydrates, providing a third of the caloric intake to people in sub-Saharan Africa. Because it can be harvested as needed, cassava acts as a famine reserve; however, the edible root is also susceptible to mold and disease, and contains an abundance of toxins, mainly cyanide.

“While we are really, really sad about losing such incredibly gifted and talented and pioneering people, we also appreciate the effort they’ve put in and the toll it’s taken on them,” said BYUtv Managing Director Michael Dunn. “I’m just excited to see them spread their wings a little bit and go on to the next venture.”
