A Mormon conversion story from Hungary (+ a message for missionary moms)
MR says: Love, LOVE this video. This Hungarian convert has a message for all the missionary moms (or prospective missionary moms). Michelle Lehnardt at Scenes from the Wild created a beautiful video about her friend, Noémi, from Hungary. Noémi became interested in The Church of Jesus Christ of...
Rome mayor visits LDS temple site, praises work
MR says: It's incredible to think how far the Church has come in foreign countries--for example, it has been a recognized religion in Italy for only 9 months. The mayor of Rome, Italy, praised the work taking place at the construction site for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' temple being...
Church launches “I’m a Mormon” media campaign in UK and Ireland
MR says: This is from the Church's UK Newsroom. Pretty awesome to see these ads making their way around the world! “There is a great amount of interest in Mormons right now in the UK and Ireland,” said Church leader Elder Clifford Herbertson. “People are asking the question, ‘Who are the Mormons?’...
Elder Holland impressed by uniformity of Mormons' devotion during his travels
MR says: Love this quote from Elder Holland: “The ability of the gospel to unite us on common strengths and common truths is one of the great miracles, one of the great powers of the gospel.” After traveling to the Middle East and three European nations from February 20 through March 4, Elder Jeffrey R....
Mormon missionaries and Martin Luther
MR says: A great story of one missionary's effort to find something in common with a combatant contact. Some hymns on occasion seem almost to compel the congregation to rise to their feet. Some hymns seem to demand the sonorous peeling of the organ. And some hymns (and you'll have your own preferences here),...
Saint Patrick: Worthy to be Called a Saint
The most Irish of Irishmen was not from Ireland. I did not know this just a few short years ago. In truth all I ever knew of Saint Patrick was to wear green to avoid getting pinched on the 17th of March, and far too often I forgot. Yet the irony of Patrick's birth and life teaches us something of the quality of the human soul and its capacity to forgive, to love, to work God's wondrous will and bring it to fulfillment.
Ever made a quilt at a Mormon activity? Here's where they go.
MR says: This is one of the places that has recently received Mormon-made quilts - and they've been greatly appreciated. Many members of the Church have participated in quilt-making activities, knowing these blankets were meant to help someone in need either at home or abroad. Many may have wondered, where...
Mounting religious restrictions in Europe a warning sign
MR says: A really interesting analysis of how religious freedom is trending in Europe. Says this author: "The practice of religion, it seems, is not that important in contemporary European society." On January 15, 2013, the European Court of Human Rights issued judgments on four cases of great significance...

'That's America': Former German soldier, Mormon builds new life in U.S. after World War II
MR says: Wow! What a story. This LDS man describes the challenges of serving under Hitler, among other things. Manfred Gellersen was a soldier once, and young. He is neither now, and like many old soldiers, he has his memories and stories. A feisty, outspoken man of 90 years, Gellersen tells his tales in a...
Dutchman launches life-size replica of Noah's Ark
MR says: Despite the timing, this has nothing to do with the Mayan calendar and end of the world. The man's motivation is to make people think more about religion and God. Just as the first storms of winter roll in, Dutchman Johan Huibers has finished his 20-year quest to build a full-scale, functioning...
Savior's light reflected by French Saints
MR says: Elder Neil L. Andersen visited members in France, the place of his first mission with his wife. It was a joyful day for Latter-day Saints in France as they celebrated the 20th anniversary of the creation of the Bordeaux France Stake and welcomed Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve —...
Family name indexing in England: 'We have done it!'
MR says: The story of the one-million-name indexing marathon for the Chorley England Stake. It seemed like an impossible task, to index a million names. Members of the Chorley England Stake were introduced to FamilySearch indexing in 2010 when the Europe Area family history advisers, Malcolm and Linda...
Mormon Helping Hands volunteer at school in London
With paint and paintbrushes, about three dozen volunteers donned yellow Mormon Helping Hands vests to help out at a local school in early November. The response of the parents of the I.E. Vicento Canada Blanch — a Spanish school located near Portabello Row in London — was of gratitude and...

MR says: “As we help those in distress, our own lives are blessed.” -President Dieter F. Uchtdorf President Dieter F. and Sister Harriet Uchtdorf share more than empathy with refugees. They, too, were displaced from their homes, refugees and eventually, immigrants to the United States. President...
