This week on social: Elder and Sister Uchtdorf visit significant sites from the Savior’s life

Elder Rasband ministered in France and Armenia, and Sister Craig teaches of ‘the peace that [Christ] wants to give’

Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles shared on Facebook April 19 a picture of him at the Sea of Galilee. “How grateful I am for the revealed truths of the Savior’s gospel that invite us to be baptized and renew our covenants with God each week as we partake of the sacrament,” he said.

The following day, Elder Uchtdorf told more of his time with his wife visiting significant sites that represent the Savior’s ministry. “God promises us that we may always have His Spirit to be with us,” he wrote. “As we ask, seek, and knock, doors will be opened that will lead to His peace and joy.”

He was one of several Church leaders to share social posts this past week.

Young Women General President Bonnie H. Cordon answered three questions about Young Women camp. She and her counselors discussed the following:

1. What is the purpose of camp?

2. Do we have camp the same year we have an FSY conference?

3. Who plans Young Women camp?

Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles posted a video on April 21 about Ramadan. He tweeted, “We express our great respect for your commitment to God and His children.”

Wright, first counselor in the Primary general presidency, wrote, “Children are precious sons and daughters of God, which is why The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is committed to serving, helping, and nurturing children in need worldwide.” On April 16, she shared how the Church helped children worldwide throughout 2022.

On Facebook, Elder Ronald A. Rasband of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles reflected on his and Sister Melanie Rasband’s recent ministry in Paris, France. “I testify to you that the Lord is in the details of our lives,” he said on April 17.

The next day, Elder Rasband posted about his time in Armenia. On Facebook, he wrote about a family he visited who exhibited faith in the Savior after a difficult hardship.

On April 17, Sister Michelle D. Craig, first counselor in the Young Women general presidency, explained how she loves making lists and checking things off her lists. She said, on Facebook, “My lists can be a good thing, but I really want to be intentional about following impressions of the Spirit and allowing myself to feel from Him the peace that He wants to give me.”

Elder Gerrit W. Gong of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles on April 16 posted about treating others as the Savior would. “Jesus Christ is our perfect example,” he tweeted. “Because He is good, He can go about doing good.”

On April 19, Sunday School General President Mark L. Pace posted on Instagram. He stated, “There is no substitute for the time you spend in the scriptures, hearing the Holy Ghost speak directly to you.” He asked how others, despite feeling busy, have made scripture study a priority.
