Hello<\/p>\n

We were subscribers to LDS Living and enjoyed it somewhat, but decided not to re-subscribe because much of it seems inapplicable to members of the Church who don’t live in the Continental US, particularly in Utah or Idaho. We live in Alberta, Canada. I would also assume that non North Americans would feel it even more. Most of the articles were alright, but yes, sometimes they don’t seem applicable to non Americans. Since it is LDS Living and not LDS American Living, it would be great to see it more in tune with members of the Church who are NOT in the US. Especially since the church membership is larger outside of the States than it is in the States. We might consider subscribing again when it seems less American oriented and more worldwide Church oriented. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
