Video: I'm a Mormon, Canyoneer, and a Taxidermist
MR says: This father and canyoneer really shows how faith and trust are crucial to all aspects of life, from repelling to repentance.
When kids close the door
MR says: Great little piece on coping with changing motherhood. The moment was so subtle I almost didn’t notice. My kids were playing Legos with the door shut. In my five-minute sweep of the house, I propped open the door and peered into the room. “Everything OK in here?” I asked. They grunted,...
New Mormon Message: Enduring Love
MR says: One of those tissue-worthy videos. Watch how this couple demonstrates pure love and service in their marriage—even though they have to endure debilitating physical adversity.
Book of Mormon into Darkness
MR says: Just a beautiful description of the Book of Mormon and the power it has to move people. Has darkness ever overwhelmed you? Have you seen cities sink and communities set ablaze? Has a voice saved you? If you know the Book of Mormon, then you are familiar with the tale I tell. After hundreds of pages...
New Zealand the 'real deal' for Mormon missionaries: An insider's guide
MR says: This insider's guide to Down Under comes after the author (a native) learned that there's a trend of early return rates for missionaries send to NZ--perhaps due to culture shock. She says the people are sometimes rowdy but genuine. I’ve been travelling over the last three weeks and last night I...
There and back again: Mormons on Mount Everest
MR says: Love the song they chose to sing when they reached the top. Sitting atop the world at 29,029 feet elevation, two friends attempted to sing the LDS hymn "High on the Mountain Top" as it may have never been sung before. Unfortunately, limited oxygen hindered their happy chorus. "It wasn't on key...
How to explain LDS religious terms to Jews
MR says: Super interesting to learn about navigating interfaith conversation with Jewish people--particularly when it comes to baptisms for the dead (or "proxy immersions"). When Jews share their religious beliefs with others, they don’t automatically assume that they are familiar with Judaism, and usually...
Mormon Voices: Safely through the storm while trying to outrun a tornado in Oklahoma
MR says: Wow. What an unbelievable experience. Recently, I had the absolutely terrifying experience of attempting to outrun a tornado. I would love to say that this was the first time, but I have lived in Oklahoma for more than 30 years. I am more acquainted with tornadoes than I care to be. That...

Members of the Arlington Ward choir, Cambridge Massachusetts Stake, were invited to help celebrate the 350th anniversary of the Congregational Church of Topsfield in a special service May 19. Five generations of the Prophet Joseph Smith’s ancestors, including his grandfather Asael Smith,...
VIDEO: Moore, Oklahoma, Woman Leaves For Mormon Mission in Wake of Tornado
MR says: "We have faith that the Lord knows exactly where we need to be at the right time, and this is the time for her to be [a missionary]," her mother says. Her family fully supports her decision to serve. Read more at...
Peace isn't always quiet
MR says: Sweet personal essay on family and how the things we end up missing the things we think are hard. It’s Sunday night. The impending stress of a new workweek lurks around the corner a scant seven hours away. And, all around us, the aftermath of Hurricane Sarah and her seven cousins, 10 aunts and...
LDS Church spokesman: Why Mormons back the new scouting policy
MR says: An op-ed piece by LDS Church spokesman Michael Otterson, who uses the Church's position and the new BSA statement to explain why the Church supported the policy. The dust had barely settled from the May 23 vote on the Boy Scouts of America membership policy, when the media analysis and post mortem...
Greetings from Hungary: Share your talents, share your faith
MR says: Cool story about how a blog from halfway around the world encouraged a young woman to learn more about the LDS Church. This article isn't about me, or even about Kereki Noémi, a new Hungarian convert. It's about you. Your unique personality and experiences are exactly the inspiration someone...
Former model leaves the runway for her faith
MR says: This is a Christian woman (not of our faith) who left a career as a Victoria's Secret model because of her marriage and her beliefs. Read the full story for an interesting interaction she had with a cousin that influenced her decision. Dedicated to sharing a message of self-worth and modesty, Kylie...

MR says: An inspiring example of forgiveness. The video can't be embedded here, view it at the full story. Three years ago, Nathan and Brenda Toone of Layton, Utah, suffered a devastating loss when two of their daughters died within days of each other as a result of toxic fumes from improperly applied...
