In the News

Mount Timpanogos, towering 7000 feet above Utah Valley, is more than an iconic view and beloved hiking destination. Snowmelt from mountains like these provides about 95% of Utah’s water supply. Hotter, drier conditions have led to water-conservation statements from both religious and state leaders.

At the BYU devotional on Tuesday, Elder Neil L. Andersen, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, shared with students the importance of settling their faith and commitment to Jesus Christ.
