I went and bought this at the hefty price of nearly $100, and it’s worth every penny. It’s a over-sized volume (9 in. x 12 in.) filled with full-page color reproductions in almost 800 pages. I highly recommend it. The Revelations and Translations series of the Joseph Smith Papers Project presents carefully reproduced facsimiles of [...]
Sometimes, you just have to use unconventional methods to get peoples’ attention and teach them about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Here is an example of some missionaries being creative and thinking “outside the box.” Teaching is more than just sitting down and talking. These missionaries realize that there are other ways to convey messages.
1) Marriage Panel – Ask long-marrieds to be on a panel where any question can be asked with an honest answer. You might have to come up with your own questions at first, but if you have this activity repeated at various times in the year, maybe focusing on various topics, with various couples on [...]
Nephi: Of goodly parents I was born I’ve never drunk, I’ve never sworn This is Lehi, he’s my dad Laman, Lemuel, they are bad And who is this? Why this is Sam. Sam: Yes, this is Sam; Sam I am Laman: That Sam I am, that Sam I am I do not like that Sam [...]
We do not have cable television in our home; we canceled cable a year ago. We only get local channels, so rarely do we watch the popular cable TV shows. Besides, it is a “waste of time.” As Elder Uchtdorf said, “The nonessential things that take up time should be discarded, bad habits changed.” After [...]
Plans to build five new temples were announced Saturday morning by President Thomas S. Monson. With 130 temples currently operating and with another 16 in some phase of planning or construction, these five temples bring the worldwide total to 151 (with 14 in Utah). Monson noted that 83 percent of the faith’s 14 million members [...]
Sister Julie B. Beck (Relief Society General President) at the General Relief Society meeting talked about eliminating the non-essentials from our life. Indeed this seems to be a theme over the course of the past year. Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf recently addressed BYU’s commencement ceremonies (April 23, 2009): Graduates should remember three principles as they [...]
I remember in my grade school days watching via film projector the time-lapse animation of plants growing. It was quite fascinating to see in only a few seconds the things that normally take place over many hours, weeks, or months. Here is a time-lapse of the Nauvoo temple construction. Each second of the time-lapse corresponds [...]
Sister Julie B. Beck (Relief Society General President) gave a wonderful talk at the General Relief Society Meeting tonight. I really enjoyed this meeting (although it would help to have it as part of General Conference weekend). Sister Beck said: One of the most precious commodities we have is time…We show respect for the Lord [...]
We have all heard the expression to “endure to the end” or “stand blameless before God at the Last Day.” Obviously these expressions refer to the Day of Judgment or the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. It has always been my personal feeling that this could be when Christ comes in his Glory to all [...]
