CNBC reports on Mormons, missionaries, and LDS business leaders

CNBC's Erin Burnett traveled to Taiwan, Utah, China, and Brazil to explore the world of LDS missionaries and former missionaries who have become international business leaders. Overall a pretty good report - one of the most favorable we've seen from the mainstream media in a long while. Watch the report in this video:

Taiwan's President praises contributions of LDS Church in Taiwan

Taiwan is very "dear" to my heart... so I was really pleased with this news:

President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) of Taiwan met yesterday with LDS Church leaders and members and praised the Church's contributions in terms of service, education, and community.  The Taipei Times covered the story here.  What an honor to have the president of Taiwan recognize the efforts of LDS missionaries, LDS service projects, and LDS history in the U.S., Asia, and abroad.
