LDS Scene

Ten LDS women represented their states at the April 23–26 convention of the American Mothers, Inc., in Lexington, Kentucky. One Church member, Verda Mae Fuller Christensen, Utah Mother of the Year, was a candidate for the American Mother of the Year title. Nine other LDS Young Mother representatives competed for the National Young Mother honor: Glenae D. Allred, Wyoming; Jennifer Marie Yetman Bell, Michigan; Cecelia Johnson Benson, Utah; Cailynn Gailey Brinkerhoff, Oregon; Alexis M. Hansen, Nevada; Demaree L. Johnson, Alaska; Sidney B. Knight, Arizona; Barbara Thoman McKibbin, Ohio; and Marta Ines Mixa, Texas.

The Cardiff Wales Stake and the University of Wales recently sponsored a one-day genealogy school. Some 112 people, many of them nonmembers, attended.
