President Henry B. Eyring, first counselor in the First Presidency, shared a message of appreciation for his late wife and for the women who “love with Christlike charity.”
“While I do not fully know all the Lord’s purposes in giving the primary responsibility for nurturing to faithful sisters, I believe it is because of their capacity to love. To love in such a way that the needs of others are felt more deeply than their own — that is charity. That is the pure love of Christ.”

“Mothers, daughters, sisters and aunts who follow Jesus Christ lovingly lift others and cheer them on.”

The Young Women Worldwide account also featured Sister Andrea Muñoz Spannaus, second counselor in the Young Women general presidency, sharing how to access the Youth magazine, in this May 13 post.
“I recently had the chance to preview the September issue of the Youth magazine and see how the upcoming lessons will connect with the new ‘For the Strength of Youth’ guide,” she said. “I loved seeing how it all comes together.”
