Nelson and Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve explained the urgent need to provide additional facilities for missionary training in the wake of President Thomas S. Monson’s announcement that minimum ages for missionary service were being lowered and the consequent upsurge in numbers.2 While The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has owned and operated other schools, this school was unique in the expansive role it played in Mexi- can Church history.

  • The Touch of Human Kindness: Women and the Moral Center of Gravity”
    “The Touch of Human Kindness: Women and the Moral Center of Gravity” Elder Bruce C. Hafen and Sister Marie K. Hafen © 2001 Elder Bruce C. Hafen and Sister Marie K. Hafen. All rights reserved. Today's culture is losing the plot about marriage, motherhood, and family life. As our Primary children sing "Follow the Prophet," they sing this verse: "Now we have a world where people are confused. If you don't believe it, go and watch the news."1 Church members aren't immune from this confusion. A Latter-day Saint mother who was called to work with young single adults was expecting a new baby. One by one, several of her young women privately asked her how she really felt about having another child. In a spirit of deep womanly trust, they asked questions that reflected honest anxiety about being bound to husbands and assuming the burdens of motherhood. She told us she was surprised to hear concerns like this from young women who were believing, active Church members. In response, she invited each young woman to do what she had allowed only her husband and children to do. She tenderly placed one of their hands on her abdomen and invited them to feel the baby's movements. Then, with her hand on theirs, she lovingly taught each one that, despite the relentless demands, she had discovered an exquisite happiness through being married and having children. These young women drank with deep reassurance from her wellsprings of testimony. But today, people without mentors like that can be very confused.

  • LDS Hispanic Americans and Lamanite Identity
    LDS Hispanic Americans and Lamanite Identity tyler balli Tyler Balli ([email protected]) is a master’s student in history at Virginia Tech. n September 1972, the Ensign published a piece called “What Is a ILamanite?” Using an “imaginary conversation” between different indi- viduals of Latin American descent and a Church leader, this article got to the heart of the complexity of Lamanite identification within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.1 When this piece was published in the 1970s—and even long before—some Church leaders strongly encouraged Hispanics to identify as Lamanites, a name referring to a people found in the Church’s founding scripture—the Book of Mormon. Even with the Church’s encouragement, however, not all Hispanics jumped to identify as Lamanites. The “What Is a Lamanite?” piece is one of the only documents during the President Spencer W. Kimball time period that explored the diversity of beliefs about this term among Hispanics; it was “an important, if not over- looked, reminder that not all Saints whom Church leaders such as Kimball saw as Lamanites understood themselves in those same terms.”2 This paper seeks to recover some of the diversity and complexity expressed Pixabay. in that article and to add further depth, context, and perspective. Hispanics, “Lamanite” carries with it several connotations, and the degree to which Hispanics identify with it varies greatly, depending on the specific factors that influenced them, held an incredible from wholehearted and enthusiastic acceptance to a complete lack of identification.
