In 1978 I used to do street work in front of the Mormon Temple in St. George, Utah. I placed more magazines in Utah then when I lived in California, Montana or Texas.
While I was in Utah they had the "revelation" that blacks could achieve both Aaronic and Melchezidek priesthoods. A court in Oregon had ordered the head of the church to explain why blacks were left out and praise the Lord, a revelation settled the matter before the court date.

LDS is short for Latter Day Saints. The official name of the church is Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Mormon is their nickname. The angel Moroni appeared to Joseph Smith and gave him golden plates. Moroni's father was named Mormon and the translation of the plates is called the Book of Mormon.
