Young Men: Dress Appropriately - Blog Entry

Great comments. I'm really glad that a young man's appearance for preparing the sacrament was addressed in the October General Conference, and you addressed it here. I think we all need that reminder. We were told in a recent Relief Society lesson that if you can't provide a white shirt for your son(s), talk to the bishop and he should be able to provide one from fast offering funds.

A Special Gift of Love - Blog Entry

That is so sweet. I'm not telling this story to brag, but my husband always comments about a gift I found by accident.

He served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in California, Vietnamese speaking. At the time, they only had the Book of Mormon translated into Vietnamese; they didn't have a Triple Combination (Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price all in one) out yet. He mentioned many times that when it comes out, he wanted a Triple. We were living in Iowa at the time, and the church distribution center never had the Vietnamese version online. We were visiting Utah and I decided to go by the main distribution center to see if they might have it. I asked a clerk if they did, and she checked their catalog. She said the catalog listed that they only had the Book of Mormon. I went ahead and ordered it, thinking it would be nice for him to have a new one anyways.

When the book arrived, I obviously had NO idea what it said and I trusted it was a Book of Mormon. When I gave him the book for his birthday, I thought he was going to faint. It was actually the Triple Combination he wanted! Every time he pulls it out, he gets a little teary.
