This week on social media, leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints posted their experiences dedicating stake centers and temples, visiting with proselyting missionaries and speaking at a gala celebrating religious liberty.
Read what they shared below.
In a June 16 post, President Henry B. Eyring, first counselor in the First Presidency, witnessed that the Lord is never hidden, despite some of the feelings of distance that occur because of mortality.
“The Lord’s delays often seem long; some last a lifetime. But they are always calculated to bless. They need never be times of loneliness or sorrow or impatience.”
Sharing an experience from a recent ministry in Philadelphia, President D. Todd Christofferson, second counselor in the First Presidency, expressed his thoughts on the divine aspects of religious liberty in a June 12 post.
“Moral agency, the ability to choose right from wrong and to act for ourselves, is essential to God’s plan of salvation. Religious freedom ensures that people can exercise their agency in matters of faith.”
He also shared this June 16 video expressing appreciation for those who continue to preserve religious liberty.
After dedicating stake centers in Salzburg, Austria, and Prague, Czech Republic, and a temple in Springfield, Oregon, President Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles posted a video on June 18 about his experience.
“Each dedication has pointed to the same divine purpose of turning our hearts in worship to our Heavenly Father and to His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ,” he wrote in the caption.
“Jesus Christ will strengthen you. He will help you change your desires, your thoughts, and your actions,” Sister Andrea Muñoz Spannaus, second counselor in the Young Women general presidency, read out of Chapter 4 of the “For the Strength of Youth: A Guide for Making Choices” in a video June 17.
“We can be agents and we can decide, as agents, what it is that we want to think and which thought will give us the best result,” she said.
In preparation for the rededication of the San Diego California Temple, Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles shared a June 15 video with his personal experiences at that temple, including the sealing of his son.

Presenting an astronaut suit in a June 18 video, Elder Gary E. Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles invited viewers to recognize how the suit protects its user from harsh elements.
