"Because Jesus Christ knows all about best days and worst days: suffering so great that an angel was sent to strengthen Him, the betrayal of a good friend, the cross on Calvary. But His story also has a garden, a stone rolled away, and an empty tomb. Because of Him, no matter how bad things are right now, your best days are ahead."
Sister President Emily Belle Freeman - General Conference April 2026

Using the For The Strength of Youth pamphlet can be a source of inspiration and guidance, no matter your age.

"Like Enoch, many of our youth today are choosing to abide with Jesus Christ. They are choosing to keep Him in their lives. They are walking with Him. They are gathering in record numbers to temples throughout the world. They wake before sunrise to participate in seminary. More are serving missions, resulting in more of God’s children being baptized than ever before. Today’s rising generation has been gifted with talents to gather and attributes of empathy and understanding. More are committed to becoming lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ."
Brother David J. Wunderli - General Conference April 2026

Our youth have an opportunity to participate in FSY each summer. At FSY, they will have the chance to meet new friends, grow their testimony, and come closer to Jesus Christ. Reach out to your local ward leaders for more information on FSY.

Recently, as part of our global efforts to share the glad tidings of the gospel of Jesus Christ and increase awareness and understanding of the Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints published a new video, “What It’s Like Inside the Missionary Training Center”.
As President Nelson said in 2024, "My dear brothers and sisters, do you see what is happening right before our eyes? I pray that we will not miss the majesty of this moment! The Lord is indeed hastening His work.”

Recently, semi truck loads of food and essential supplies from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were delivered to both the Tri-Cities Food Bank and the Blue Mountain Action Council food bank in Walla Walla.

The donations included pasta, peanut butter, beans, baking goods, soap, and many other much-needed household items that will help support families throughout the area.

We’re incredibly grateful to these nonprofit organizations and the volunteers who will help distribute these resources to neighbors in need. Community partnerships like these make a real difference in the lives of many. ❤️
