Grateful for Relief Society

As a missionary for the Church, I tried to help others feel the influence of the Holy Ghost. Some time ago my companion and I had the opportunity to show a young man a videotape of a talk by President Gordon B. Hinckley. The Spirit profoundly touched the young man’s heart.

I recently read a general conference talk by the Relief Society general president that is very important for me as a Latter-day Saint young woman. I am grateful for the sisterhood we have. Our leaders and their conference addresses help me a great deal to be a good sister and also to prepare to be a mother.

Liahona a Great Source of Strength

I have been a member of the Church for three years, and from the time I was baptized I haven’t missed an issue of the Liahona. It is a great source of strength to me because it confirms the truthfulness of the great work of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am very grateful to my Heavenly Father for such inspired leaders whose messages renew us spiritually every month.

Faith in Jesus Christ Increased

For a few months I borrowed the Liahona from others. Only this month did I receive the first copy of my own subscription. I am glad to have it because the Liahona inspires and teaches me about the gospel. It increases my faith in Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. I am fortunate to know the Church is true. I love being a Latter-day Saint.

Good Friends at Church

I have been a member of the Church since 6 May 2001, and the Church is the greatest thing in my life. I’m 16 years old. Although none of my family are Church members, I have the best friends I could ask for in the Young Men program. In the Church are also the most helpful adults and the most innocent and loving children.
