Hoping To Establish A Presence: Parley P. Pratt's 1851 Mission To Chile, A. Delbert Palmer, Mark L. Grover
BYU Studies Quarterly
The sacrament meeting in Santiago, Chile, was similar to most meetings held in July 1998 in LDS chapels throughout the world with one notable exception—not only the chapel was filled, but also the cultural hall, and people were standing around the edges of the seats. The ward obviously needed to be divided; however, five wards, equal in size, were already meeting in that same building. The Church simply could not build chapels fast enough to house its rapidly growing membership in Chile, one of the fastest growing LDS populations in the world. In fact, in 1999 one in every thirty-two …

BYU Studies Quarterly
On the afternoon of Sunday, July 23, 1837, in Preston's Vauxhall Chapel, Heber C. Kimball preached the first Latter-day Saint sermon to be delivered in England. Heber presided over England's first baptisms one week later, after which he and his six companions parted company to cover more territory. People flocked to hear the missionaries' message, and by the time Elder Kimball left England nine months later, over fifteen hundred people had been baptized in and around Preston. A more fertile land for missionary work could hardly be imagined.

"Islands Of Peace, Of The Blessed", Janet Garrard-Willis
BYU Studies Quarterly
If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?

Minerva Teichert's Manti Temple Murals, Doris R. Dant

In particular, travel to Utah's pioneer temples is frequently prohibitive. In the spirit of making temples accessible to all Latter-day Saints, this article brings to Saints worldwide an appreciative view of some of the Manti Temple murals.

"Many Great And Notable Cities Were Sunk": Liquefaction In The Book Of Mormon, Benjamin R. Jordan
BYU Studies Quarterly
In a recent BYU Studies article, Bart Kowallis describes how the events of destruction in the Americas at the time of Christ's death can be attributed to a single explosive volcanic eruption. He lists the events that occurred during the destruction as recorded in 3 Nephi, and among those mentioned is the sinking of cities into the sea (3 Ne. 8:9, 14; 9:4, 7; 10:13). As a possible explanation for this phenomena, Kowallis offers accounts of tsunami (tidal waves) and seiche waves (waves generated in lakes), both of which can occur during an explosive volcanic eruption. In conjunction with these …
