These are LDS sites that I have found informative and uplifting.
Twice a year a conference is convened for the entire membership of the Church. Speakers are primarily General Authorities and Auxiliary Presidencies of the Church. If you wish to know what modern prophets and apostles are saying, go here.
Brigham Young University, a Church-owned school, has weekly devotionals and monthly Church Educational System firesides given by Church leaders and other prominent citizens. This site gives the text of several of them.
An excellent source of information on LDS temples.
