We’re going to try moving things around a bit with our features so that more original content on Mormon women can be featured during the week. Our Review, Reflect and Return posts will now be combined with other links, like stories that feature Mormon women in the news, informational updates about the Church, and other interesting and helpful information in a Links We Like feature on Saturdays. For those of you who like links to browse, you’ll like this feature. If you prefer a break from reading content on Mormon women on Saturdays, you’ll like this feature, too. If you run across a link you like, please consider sharing it with us by commenting somewhere on the site, or by sending an email to us at gmail, with either ‘mormonwoman’ or ‘mormonwomen’ as the username.

The Church’s annual Pioneer Day Broadcast will be shown tonight on the internet at 7:00 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time. Other broadcast times, including for international broadcast through satellite and other media, can be found here.

Today we link to one of the official sites of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, mormon.org that has a wealth of information about Mormonism. This particular link is a testimony of The Restoration of Truth in which we believe.

“God knows you personally and loves you more than you can comprehend. He wants you to be happy now and always. To accomplish this purpose, Heavenly Father has provided a plan called the gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the Son of God; His teachings are the way to peace in life and joy for eternity…” Read more here.

Mormon woman in WNBA was recently inducted into its Hall of Fame. She talks a little about pursuing her dream to play basketball, and of her family’s support. “My whole family supported me, saying ‘You know what you want and if that’s what you want to do, you can do.'” She also referred indirectly to Family Home Evening, a beloved program of the Church. We almost always have a family activity on Monday night. A lot of times, we’d go over to church and play basketball. We had a great time.”

Mormon woman Mariah Nogueria named Female Athlete of the year; will play soccer for Stanford

She also plays softball and volleyball. A fun clip from the article follows:

Nogueira also likes cooking, scrap-booking and playing the ukulele, none of which are all that competitive. Early in the morning, though, Nogueira’s competition is the alarm clock.

She’s a member of the Mormon church, and Nogueira is at seminary at 5:30 a.m. every day. So when does she have to get up?

“Five minutes before I leave,” she said with a laugh.
