Congratulations to Sister Karli Rasmussen, called to serve in the Manilla Philippines Mission! You can hear her speak in Mineral King Ward on June 14th! She shared her sweet testimony with us.
“One of the biggest reasons I’m serving a mission is because I know that Jesus Christ lives. I have felt His love and guidance throughout my life, and I know He is always there for us. The gospel has brought me so much peace, happiness, and purpose, and I want to help others come to know that same joy. And I’m looking forward to serving and loving the people in Manila. 🇵🇭”

"I have found joy in connecting with fellow Saints through the shared language of sacred music. And especially through the simple songs of Primary, the Holy Spirit has transcended language barriers and filled my heart with His whispering. In children’s voices, the love of God and His Son, Jesus Christ, has been proclaimed in clear, piercing truth."
Sister Tracy Y. Browning - October 2025 General Conference

On June 24-25, The Tabernacle at Temple Square will be performing at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. It will be 100 years since they debuted there. You can get tickets online to attend in person, or there will be watch parties across the country. Reach out to your local leaders if you have any questions. 100% of proceeds will go to charities of local organizations such as CARE, Helen Keller Intl, and The Hunger Project, with all donations matched by the Church's Humanitarian Services.

Welcome home Sister Emily Davies returning home from her mission in the Vancouver Washington area!! You can hear her share about serving Jesus Christ in the Kaweah Ward Sunday June 14th. Here is a sweet testimony she shared with us, “Let me just say… if you have not yet served a mission and you are able to, please serve a mission!! I promise it is the best opportunity of your life, and the best opportunity for your life as well! In Matthew chapter 16, the Lord promises that “whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.” This is so true!! I have seen it! And I am so grateful that giving my life to my Brother and Savior and Friend does not have to end with a mission. I know that Heavenly Father is aware of you. He loves you. He watches over you. He sent His Only Begotten Son for you. And They rejoice in every moment that you turn to Them. This is where true joy, peace, healing, and growth can be found🩷This I say in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!”

"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.”
