Mother and daughter at MTC together, serve missions at the same time
MR says: A great experience for these two that is starting to play out for many families. Great to read about their respective experiences deciding. Many young sisters are having the chance to serve a mission at a younger age since President Thomas S. Monson’s announcement in the October 2012 general...
Boston shows outpouring of faith in wake of bombing
MR says: Even though Boston is one of the least religious cities, there has been an abundance of religious services and prayers. Boston ranks among the least religious cities in the country, according to Gallup. But those numbers, based on church attendance and whether religion is important in the daily...
Split emerges among Mormon scholars
MR says: Most LDS scholars used to approach Mormon Studies from mainly the "apologetic" stance (meaning, defense of the religion). Now the study is so vast that others are taking into account religious comparison, Church history, etc. As the field of Mormon studies has expanded and moved into the academic...
Boy Scouts proposing to lift ban on gay youth, LDS Church to evaluate

Texas...
Historic LDS newspaper volume presented at auction
MR says: These pieces of Church history are always cool to see. A volume of early issues of The Latter-day Saints' Messenger and Advocate, one of the earliest publications in LDS Church history, was up for bid at the semiannual Americana auction at the Swann Auction Gallery, but did not sell. Based in...
Boston Marathon runner who lost husband to terrorists fights fear with faith
MR says: This is a great story you might have seen circulating on social media. Very inspiring. It wasn’t her first marathon this year. And it wasn’t just a race. Linda Ambard, a native of Boise who now lives in Acton, Mass., had been invited to run the Boston Marathon in memory of a fallen soldier....
Video: I'm a Barrister, I'm a Mormon and I'm Grateful for Trials
Despite her struggles, this young woman is still so optimistic and full of hope for the future. She has scoliosis, loves soccer and wants to be a Queen's Counsel one day. With her determination, I'm sure she'll make it!
Man who bombed LDS meetinghouse paroled
MR says: The bombing and subsequent standoff with police happened in 1988. Addam Swapp has served 17 years so far. Twenty-five years after one of the most infamous standoffs in Utah history, the man responsible for that event will be released from prison. The Utah State Board of Pardons and Parole...
Picturing history: Joseph Smith family at Nauvoo House
MR says: Sometimes it's cool to see these Church history landmarks. This room in the Nauvoo House is where Emma Smith died. The 124th section of the Doctrine and Covenants mandates the construction of the Nauvoo House. It was to be a place of residence and of rest for weary travelers. As a boarding house, it...
LDS Boston marathoners tell their stories
Some ran an additional eight miles beyond the marathon just to reunite with loved ones. Others were spared after receiving VIP tickets that placed them across the street from the explosions. All are grateful for the miraculous blessings that kept them safe and sound. Cell phones and VIP passes...

According to a statement made by Scott...
152+ missionaries from AFHS Class of 2011
MR says: Another of the recent influx of missionary videos. This one is cool because it features missionaries from one particular high school's graduating class (2011). There are 152+. And they still have yet to update the video with sister missionaries. Love the music.
