Pioneers of Africa
by E. Dale LeBaron
This year marks
the thirtieth anniversary of the revelation
extending the priesthood to all worthy
males of the Church. And while this revelation had a
profound impact on all parts of the world, it has perhaps had
the greatest impact on the people of Africa. In 1978, I was presiding over the only
mission on the continent of Africa—the South Africa
Johannesburg Mission. Although there were no

at that time due to the rigid apartheid
laws restricting blacks from attending
public meetings with whites,
there were some who had already
converted to the gospel. Here is
the unique and inspiring story
of the gospel pioneers of
Africa before and after
the revelation. Read more >

by Jamie Lawson
From his chiseled good looks and astonishing success in
the business world to his traditional family values, Mitt
immediately stands out in any crowd—and the pool of
presidential candidates is no exception. Despite these
qualities, however, the one thing that distinguishes Mitt the
most in the political arena appears to be his LDS faith. Some

he would more easily win the Republican presidential
nomination if he did. But despite the opposition, Mitt stands
firm in his faith. Here’s a closer look at how the gospel, his
family, and his desire to serve have defined his life and his
presidential candidacy. Read more >

Simplifying is about enhancing our ability to focus on things that really matter, to deliberately choose our priorities, and to let go of physical and emotional clutter that prevents us from focusing on things of real importance.
