What your children really want for dinner is you!
In an age of constant online connection, we may need to disconnect from technologies and other distractions to truly reconnect with our families.
Families grow stronger when they set aside these distractions and spend meaningful time together—learning eternal values like the importance of marriage and children, the purpose of life, and the true source of joy.
Parents also have a duty to teach their children practical knowledge apart from gospel principles. Families unite when they do meaningful things together. Happy family experiences strengthen family ties. Camping, sports activities, and other recreation are especially valuable for bonding families.
Some may say, “But we have no time for any of that.” To find time to do what is truly worthwhile, many parents will find that they can turn their families on if they all turn their technologies off.
What those we love need most is simply time with us. Our Savior, Jesus Christ, is our ultimate role model. He will help us as we strive to build these family bonds.
I struggled when the young women names were taken away, I understood they were outdated & didn't reflect a global church. I'm so grateful to see this update. Faith, Hope and Light - the young women have so much potential, these attributes are beautiful stepping stones to charity.
The First Presidency has announced new age-group names for young women—names that reflect their identity, growth, and purpose.
The new age-group names are:
• Builders of Faith (young women turning 12 or 13)
• Messengers of Hope (young women turning 14 or 15)
• Gatherers of Light (young women turning 16 or older)
Young Women General President Emily Belle Freeman said the spiritual significance of the names became especially clear to her during a recent visit with young women in Tahiti.
“As the girls sang, I was inspired to think of these covenant-keeping young women whose purpose and mission would be to build faith, share hope, and gather and reflect light around the world,” President Freeman said. “My eyes teared up as I realized the Spirit had been leading this process all along, inspiring names of faith, hope, and light that would help God’s daughters live as disciples of Christ and prepare them to enter a lifelong sisterhood of charity—the Relief Society.”

@GBSHansO I was 12 & feel like so much of my childhood fandom must have been this 96 season. I didn't remember all of these favorites being on this team. Impossible to pick one: Dye, Hooks, McKenzie, Lewis, Cahoon, Kealaluhi, Jenkins, "freight train" Morris, Olsen, Pochman bros, Sark 💙🤙🏼
The literal resurrection of Jesus is, of course, the subject of so many scriptures that it is settled doctrine for believers of the Bible and Book of Mormon. For us, the universal resurrection is equally certain.
I wonder if we fully appreciate the enormous significance of our belief in a literal, universal resurrection. The conviction that death is not the conclusion of our identity changes the whole perspective of our mortal life.
It affects how we look on the physical challenges of mortality. It gives us the strength and perspective to endure the mortal challenges faced by each of us and by those we love.
It signifies that mortal deficiencies are only temporary! It also gives us the courage to face our own death or that of loved ones—even deaths we might call premature.
Our belief in the resurrection also encourages us to fulfill our family responsibilities in mortality. It helps us live together in love in this life in anticipation of joyful reunions and associations in the next.

As Mary Magdalene and her companions mournfully approached the Garden Tomb, two angels appeared to them and shared the clarion call of all Christianity:
"Why seek ye the living among the dead?"
"He is not here, but is risen" (Luke 24:5-6).
This Easter season we also joyfully testify of this same eternal truth—Jesus Christ is risen. He lives!
The Savior of the world was crucified and, on the third day, rose from the dead, "the firstfruits of them that slept" (1 Corinthians 15:20). His Resurrection allows all to be resurrected, and through His grace, we can find peace "which passeth all understanding" (Philippians 4:7) and "be perfected in him" (Moroni 10:32).
We invite each of you during this Easter season to "seek this Jesus of whom the prophets and apostles have written" (Ether 12:41). As you do so, we testify that your Easter celebrations can strengthen your own faith and testimony that "death is conquered; man is free. Christ has won the victory" ("He Is Risen!" Hymns, no. 199).
—The First Presidency

"Whatever you are facing, Jesus Christ is the Way. And, the Book of Mormon reveals this better than any book on earth. I also declare that your wildernesses are way stations, not destinations. You are not meant for pain, loneliness, failure, and confusion. You are meant for bliss. Over and beyond every single wilderness lies a promised land, your promised land. Move toward it with optimism and faith, each day, one step at a time." - Elder Matthew S. Holland

@jasonmcgowan@kalanifsitake Any coach that can give the kind of incredible BYU devotional he did and then to end "in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. Go COUGS!" is true blue through and through. Kalani is the second Lavell all BYU fans were waiting for. #GoCougs
