On the cover: Located in Australia’s isolated outback, the small town of Alice Springs is home for a group of active Latter-day Saint teenagers. Yasmin Webster (left) and Lavinia Archibald, of the Alice Springs Branch, visit together sitting in a gum tree. (Cover photography by Richard M. Romney.)

Back cover: Top: Finding joy in the gospel, the happy young women in the branch quickly make friends of any newcomers. Bottom: For Steven Yeckley (left) and Ivan Munn, the outback is a treasure to share with a friend. See “Alice Springs,” page 10. (Cover photography by Richard M. Romney.)

Inside back cover: Lehi’s Family Leaving Jerusalem, by Scott Snow. Nephi, depicted here in the foreground, records that the people of Jerusalem wanted to kill his father, Lehi, because he testified of their wickedness. “The Lord commanded my father … that he should take his family and depart into the wilderness. And he did travel in the wilderness with his family, which consisted of my mother, Sariah, and my elder brothers, who were Laman, Lemuel, and Sam” (see 1 Ne. 1:19–20; 1 Ne. 2:2–5).
