Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.

More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸

Today is Mother’s Day in France.

With children living on both sides of the Atlantic, our family has the blessing of celebrating Mother’s Day twice each year—a privilege certainly well deserved by my wife, Valérie.

One of our daughters once shared a touching testimony of how her mother’s example continues to guide her in her own role as a young mother. She said:

"Today, whenever I have a decision to make regarding my own children, I think about what my mother would do.

When I reflect on the joyful nature she has always had—and still has today—I simply want to be like her.

Her example has inspired me to create a happy home, just as she did, and to lead with love as she always has.

I find joy in raising my children because she often told me how much she loved being a mother.

Each Sunday, I feel a desire to attend church with my family because she passed on to me the joy she felt in taking us to church."

I feel deeply grateful for Valérie and for the happiness she brings into our lives.

May we all strive to create loving, Christ-centered homes—places where joy can flourish and where our children are inspired to cherish the gospel throughout their lives.

In recognition of the 250-year anniversary of the founding of the United States of America as a free and independent nation, Elder Quentin L. Cook and I discussed the importance of religious liberty and its underlying significance for the restored Church of Jesus Christ.

We believe in religious liberty.

As the Eleventh Article of Faith reminds us, “We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.”

There is a 1 in 15 trillion chance that Joseph Smith wrote the Book of Mormon.

That number comes from a rigorous statistical analysis of the text. Watch the breakdown.

You can reject the conclusion. But you have to reckon with the math.

[Bennie🕊️ @Bennieeexyz]

My high school math teacher Mr D was known for one thing.

He reused the same exam questions every year. Just changed the numbers. Everyone knew it. He also made a very big deal of collecting every paper back after we reviewed our scores so nobody could pass them to the next year's class.

Of course some of my classmates got their hands on a full set of tests from the previous year.

Within a week everyone had a copy.

Before every exam we'd sit together and work through every problem on the old test until we could solve them in our sleep. When the real exam landed the numbers were different but the logic was identical.

We thought we were geniuses.

Years later I became a teacher myself. Ran into Mr D at a funeral.

Me: I have to confess something.

Me: We had a copy of your old tests the whole time.

Me: Full set. Every exam.

Him: (smirked)

Him: Who do you think leaked them?

Me: (stared at him)

Him: Kids won't study if a teacher tells them to.

Him: But if they think they're getting away with something?

Him: (shrugged)

Him: They study all night.

Me: (stood there)

Me: (replayed four years of feeling clever)

Me: (we were never clever)

Me: (he played us perfectly)

Me: (I became a teacher and I still got played)

Me: (Mr D was built different)

A sinistra, nel 2016, un ragazzo si trova in Nicaragua, è lì da due anni dopo aver abbandonato il basket e la famiglia per “portare la parola di Gesù Cristo” tra le persone più disagiate del paese. Una notte subisce una rapina e viene malmenato da quattro persone: gli serviranno sei mesi di cure dentistiche e due denti finti nuovi.

A destra, questa notte, c’è un ragazzo che ha trascinato Cleveland in finale di Conference dominando gara 7 contro Detroit, con 23 punti in 25 minuti in uscita dalla panchina. In bocca ha il paradenti perché, per esperienza, sa bene che i dentisti possono costare come un attico in centro storico a Milano.

Entrambi i ragazzi rispondono al nome di Sam Merrill.

I'm a 55 year old, highly educated, practicing attorney. I've read the Book of Mormon more times than I can count. I've spent thousands of hours studying the Old and New Testaments, as well as LDS Church doctrine and history. I've read the revelation, writings, and papers of Joseph Smith and many books written about him, by members and non members alike. I've read or heard virtually every piece of anti Mormon material imaginable. I've attended thousands of hours of church services, sunday school classes, seminary programs, college level religion courses, and devoted two years exclusively to study and preaching as an ordained minister. I've literally devoted much of my life to the pursuit of gospel knowledge. Most importantly, I've received divine confirmation from the Holy Ghost that Joseph Smith is a prophet and that the Book of Mormon is true. But yeah, with all due respect random anonymous Twitter guy, forgive me if I don't take your word for it that my religion is false.
