It’s sad that someone would feel compelled to write an article like this.
Within this Atlantic article, the writer strains against the joy that’s been expressed by our foreign World Cup guests, and tries to find evidence of its falseness.
He is unable to.
I have saved you the trouble of reading the article. Enjoy all the happy videos instead.
And @TheAtlantic, you would gain many subscribers if you were to instead print the obvious piece about the joy being expressed. And also pull some happiness to yourself in associating with this joy.
Mitt Romney on how he - and his father - approached public service: "You get into public service if you want to do something. There are some people today who get into public service because they wanna be something... 'I wanna be a Senator. I wanna be a Governor.' That's very sad."
Here’s a look inside the missionary assignment room.
This is where my fellow apostles and I come frequently to assign the thousands of missionaries that are applying to serve missions all over the world.
This process is inspired, revelatory, and I love it with all my heart.
Surrounded by majestic mountains and serene lakes, Salzburg, Austria has a quiet beauty that has long touched our hearts. Harriet and I felt a deep sense of gratitude as we returned to this remarkable place—a place filled with sacred memories.
I was serving in the Europe West Area Presidency when Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles—who had once served as a young missionary in Salzburg in 1937—organized the Salzburg Austria Stake in 1997.
Now, nearly 30 years after that special occasion, I was blessed to dedicate the beautifully renovated Salzburg Stake Center. Moments like these remind us that the Lord is mindful of His children, wherever they may be.
We express heartfelt gratitude for the faithful members who are building up The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in this land. Much of what has been accomplished is the result of quiet devotion—of disciples, both seen and unseen, who follow the Savior with humble, steadfast faith.
I pray that this chapel will always be a house of peace—where Jesus Christ is at the center, where His love is felt, and where all are joyfully invited to come unto Him.
What your children really want for dinner is you!
In an age of constant online connection, we may need to disconnect from technologies and other distractions to truly reconnect with our families.
Families grow stronger when they set aside these distractions and spend meaningful time together—learning eternal values like the importance of marriage and children, the purpose of life, and the true source of joy.
Parents also have a duty to teach their children practical knowledge apart from gospel principles. Families unite when they do meaningful things together. Happy family experiences strengthen family ties. Camping, sports activities, and other recreation are especially valuable for bonding families.
Some may say, “But we have no time for any of that.” To find time to do what is truly worthwhile, many parents will find that they can turn their families on if they all turn their technologies off.
What those we love need most is simply time with us. Our Savior, Jesus Christ, is our ultimate role model. He will help us as we strive to build these family bonds.
All this drama with the daily wire bashing the Church of Jesus Christ of Christ of Latter Day Saints really makes me grateful for the chance I had to defend the faith on @michaeljknowles’s barfight.
The bald eagle almost disappeared from the lower 48.
Now it’s one of the greatest wildlife comebacks in American history.
America's 250th birthday hits different when you remember that.
The First Presidency has announced new age-group names for young women—names that reflect their identity, growth, and purpose.
The new age-group names are:
• Builders of Faith (young women turning 12 or 13)
• Messengers of Hope (young women turning 14 or 15)
• Gatherers of Light (young women turning 16 or older)
Young Women General President Emily Belle Freeman said the spiritual significance of the names became especially clear to her during a recent visit with young women in Tahiti.
“As the girls sang, I was inspired to think of these covenant-keeping young women whose purpose and mission would be to build faith, share hope, and gather and reflect light around the world,” President Freeman said. “My eyes teared up as I realized the Spirit had been leading this process all along, inspiring names of faith, hope, and light that would help God’s daughters live as disciples of Christ and prepare them to enter a lifelong sisterhood of charity—the Relief Society.”
