The Consul General of Peru in Salt Lake City said his daily duty of managing the visa flow between the Beehive State and his South American nation signals the link that two regions from opposite sides of the equator share with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "And Peru's capital city of Lima is the only city in South America that has two Latter-day Saint temples," Chicata-Sutm'ller reminded the Deseret News in the minutes before Delta launched its first-ever direct flight between Lima and Salt Lake City on Dec. 4. "That also speaks of the importance of Peru to the church." Much of the focus of last week's launching of Delta Flight 193 was on the commercial and cultural opportunities waiting…...

3+ hour, 4+ min ago (309+ words) LOOK: the rain bows and the rainbows by Katy Mixon But the overall meaning points to the multihued arc that appears in the sky after a rainfall, as sunlight refracts through water vapor. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, the rainbow is a sign of God's covenant with Noah and has come to symbolize divine promise more generally, or hope'after the bleakness, beauty. Mixon's making process involves upcycling rags, which is itself a kind of redemptive act, saving used scraps and piecing them together into a new whole. Describing her technique, Mixon told me: "I compose the pieced tops and work with local longarm quilters to add the batting and backing. I finish each piece with hand stitching, often using crewel embroidery to define brush marks and tonal variations."

3+ hour, 26+ min ago (345+ words) Please check back daily during the month of December as through Christmas we'll have an entry from The Heart of Christmas: A Devotional for the Season. The first plank underscores the reality that there is but one God. Christianity is not polytheistic, but fiercely monotheistic. "You are my witnesses,' declares the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me" (Isaiah 43:10; emphasis added). In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord…...
