Happy Mother’s Day from the Tupelo Mississippi Stake!

Today, we honor and celebrate the divine role of mothers. Whether you are a mother, hope to be one, or have been blessed by the love and guidance of a mother figure, we recognize your strength, sacrifice, and Christlike love.

As President Russell M. Nelson said:
“No one can do what a righteous woman can do. No one can duplicate the influence of a mother.”

Thank you for your quiet acts of service, your unwavering faith, and your powerful influence in our homes and in the Church. We love you. We honor you. And we pray that you feel the Savior’s love surrounding you today and always.

Happy Mother’s Day!

The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued the following statement on Thursday, May 8, 2025.

“I was greatly blessed to visit The Cradle of Restoration during Holy Week. I had always wondered what the Sacred Grove looked like on April 6th when young Joseph went to pray. If 1820 was anything like 2025, there were no leaves on the trees and only small flowers randomly covering the floor of the grove.

Going during mid-April was an opportunity to be at these sacred sites with little to no crowd, and to be able to "be still" and feel the spirit.

Snow on the Hill Cumorah was a bonus! The 30+ mile-an-hour northerly winds, not so much. But it sure gave a unique perspective to that sacred site.

It was a tremendous blessing to connect my family members during sessions in the Palmyra Temple (located on the original Smith Farm, and facing the Sacred Grove). It is an experience I will never forget.

The opportunity to visit the Kirtland Temple, now under the ownership of the church, was an amazing experience. As one of our missionaries said leading the tour, “President Nelson has said this is the only temple in the world that is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, no recommend needed, and everyone can attend it.“ What a neat perspective.

We are told, “Stand ye in holy places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come” (D&C 87:8). In holy places we are protected from the almost overwhelming commotion of the world. I would encourage everyone to visit the church historic sites, especially this year as we study the Doctrine and Covenants in Come, Follow Me. See and feel those sacred sites and make what you are learning more than "just a story." I promise you will be blessed for your efforts. It will bless you individually, and it will bless your family. Your testimonies of the restored gospel will grow, just as mine has.”

- Sister Marla Minter of the Hamilton Branch

The rendering for the Huntsville Alabama Temple has been released. The location for the temple was announced three months ago as a 21-acre property located southeast of the intersection of Gillespie Road and Browns Ferry Road in Madison, Alabama. Plans call for a single-story temple of approximately 30,000 square feet. It will be the second temple constructed in Alabama, joining the Birmingham Alabama Temple (2000).
