“Dear Parents and Teachers,” Friend, Oct. 2015, back cover
Dear Parents and Teachers,
Many children recognize the names and faces of members of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Are your kids also familiar with the sisters who help lead the Church? This month’s magazine includes cards on pages 11–12 that you can use to get to know these faithful women in a more personal way. Then listen for some of them to speak at general conference this month!
With love,
The Friend
