Elder Eldred G. Smith, eldest and longest-serving general authority, laid to rest
MR says: President Monson joined many others in honoring this faithful man. Elder Smith leaves a beautiful legacy.

New LDS Young Women General President on Pinterest
MR says: This seems to be fairly common knowledge now (we've seen several stories talking about it). We imagine Sister Oscarson is getting quite a few followers!

MR says: So sad to read this. Eldred G. Smith, the last church patriarch, served long and well, and he will be sorely missed.

'Ten Commandments' exhibit to commemorate Friberg's 100th birthday
MR says: You will recognize Arnold Friberg's work from the illustrated Book of Mormon pictures. Famous director Cecil B. DeMille saw his illustration of the Brother of Jared and knew he had to visualize *The Ten Commandments* (which Friberg did). Starting in 1953, artist Arnold Friberg spent three years in...
Mitt Romney to speak at LDS-centric Southern Virginia University commencement
MR says: This is a big get for the small liberal arts school! SVU is not an official LDS Church school, but it is based strongly around LDS principles.

New L. Tom Perry biography released
MR says: Love Elder Perry. It's exciting to have the opportunity to learn more about his life. (Note: It's written by his son, not himself.) Those who associate with Elder L. Tom Perry, a senior member of the LDS Church's Quorum of the Twelve, have occasionally heard him describe himself as being "as common...
