[dropcap]P[/dropcap]resident Russell M. Nelson is off to the Pacific! He's spent the week visiting various Polynesian (and Melanesian - hey, Fiji!) nations, spending time with Latter-day Saints there, as well as meeting some world leaders.

While visiting New Zealand, President Nelson met with prime minister Jacinda Ardern, herself a former Latter-day Saint that left the Church over LGBT issues. President Nelson pledged money to help repair mosques damaged in the Christchurch attack. The Church leader also used the opportunity to present the prime minister with a Book of Mormon and some genealogy, per custom.

Latter-day Saint comedian Stephen Hughes decided to get all serious and talk about polygamy in a new three-part series. Our own Jeff Borders covers it.

Some guy named Dean Hughes wrote an historical novel about faith and polygamy. OK.
