My stake in Colorado has asked everybody — but especially teenagers — to read the Book of Mormon by the end of the school year. The stake estimates that if every member of the stake reads the book 5-10 minutes a day, they will finish by May.

Guest post: When things go very wrong with a pregnancy
This is a guest post by Stephanie Arzi, who describes herself as a Church member, social worker and the author of “High risk pregnancy and foetal diagnosis; your journey.”
My name is Stephanie and I am a convert to the church which I joined at almost 20. Having children and raising a family had always been one of my great wishes. In 2002, my husband and I had decided to have another baby with the other two we had. This was just before Christmas. I remember taking my temperature and telling my husband the ‘day’ would be January 8. Indeed it was, and I waited a couple of weeks before doing a pregnancy test at my doctor’s. I remember having mixed feelings and couldn’t quite pinpoint why.
