This week on social, President Russell M. Nelson announced a new edition of “Preach My Gospel” on June 22. “As we press forward in this vital work, I am pleased to announce the release of the second edition of Preach My Gospel.

Relief Society General President Camille N. Johnson posted on June 22, “Bound to the Savior, through the covenants we have made with God, we stay aligned with Him.”
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles twice was a refugee himself, and he posted on social media on World Refugee Day on June 20, reminding others to “lift those around you.”
On June 17, Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles shared his experience visiting with “298 stake and district presidents ... from five countries — Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela” to talk about building faith in Jesus Christ throughout the world.
Sister J. Anette Dennis, first counselor in the Relief Society general presidency, posted on June 21, about her experience speaking at BYU Women’s Conference in May. “Millions struggle with mental and emotional health challenges,” said Sister Dennis. “One of the very difficult parts of these challenges is the stigma surrounding them and the harsh judgment by some that they are a character flaw or a sign of weakness or laziness.”
She continued, “The effects of mental and emotional illness are just as real and just as devastating as a physical illness or injury, but the effects can be less outwardly apparent than a broken leg or cancer.”
Though members suffer from mental health conditions, Sister Dennis offered, “Our Savior, Jesus Christ, is our greatest source of relief.”
Elder Quentin L. Cook, of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, also posted about the new “Preach My Gospel” edition on June 22: “An update to Preach My Gospel will allow us to improve our efforts to invite more friends across the globe to come unto Christ.”
In a Facebook post about the Helena Montana Temple dedication, Elder Gary E. Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said “temples help us fulfill our divine potential.” Temples help individuals understand Heavenly Father’s plan of salvation and how families can be together forever.
Brother Jan E. Newman, second counselor in the Sunday School general presidency, said on Facebook on June 20, “I know the Lord watches over His children, wherever they are.”
