There is a new, unofficial website called FollowtheProphet.net which monitors the global travel of our prophet, President Thomas S. Monson.

The purpose of the site isn't to "stalk the prophet" but to help members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints feel more connected with him. FollowtheProphet.net writes:

"The site will hopefully help members of the Church better know what the prophet is doing, what he is teaching, and to get to know the prophet as a person better."

You can also "follow the prophet" through the site's email distribution, RSS Feed, Twitter, or Facebook.

I think this site will be a great resource for members of the Church, and help us feel more connected to him, especially with the impossibility of every member being able to personally meet the prophet.

Thanks to LDS Media Talk for their post about this great new site!

This year I am thankful for many, many things, but I wanted to share a few of them with you. In no specific order, I am thankful for:

• Getting married to my wonderful husband, who treats me with love and respect and for whom I greatly admire
• My increased understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ, specifically faith, trusting in the Lord, and truth
• My study of the scriptures, including the Book of Mormon and lineage of Adam
• Temples and eternal families
• Prayer
• Living in a free country, and
• Knowledge

What are you thankful for?

Every year The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints celebrates Christmas in Salt Lake City, Utah by decorating Temple Square with an amazing lighted display. The lights are first lit the Friday following Thanksgiving and "Christmas on Temple Square" will begin.

Christmas events (see the Church calendar) are performed almost every day of the season, including the musical production Savior of the World, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert, and the First Presidency Christmas Devotional.

The devotional is usually held the first Sunday in December and will be broadcast from the Conference Center (free tickets are required) to church buildings world wide. All are welcome to come and enjoy the devotional in Temple Square or watch the broadcast from a local Stake Center.

If you've never seen the lights on Temple Square they're well worth the trip. Come celebrate with us Christmas and the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ!
