Presidency Message by Lisa Lara
I find myself often marveling at the strength of the women around me. It seems like everytime I turn around I hear about someone who is having to deal with a health challenge, financial burden, or a struggling child. I am amazed at the perspective and outlook faithful women in the gospel have as they handle these challenges. It is not easy as they struggle through trials that they would never wish upon another, but so many times I see strong women do so with so much faith and stamina that I am amazed everytime. These women know how to use the gospel and the atonement to not only get through trials they may have, but to help better the world around them.

Pres. Russell M. Nelson in our last general conference says this: "Today, let me add that we need women who know how to make important things happen by their faith and who are courageous defenders of morality and families in a sin-sick world. We need women who are devoted to shepherding God's children along the covenant path toward exaltation; women who know how to receive personal revelation, who understand the power and peace of the temple endowment; women who know how to call upon the powers of heaven to protect and strengthen children and families; women who teach fearlessly."

How grateful I am that there are women like you with such strength in the gospel who surround me with endless examples of "converted, convenant-keeping women". Continue to be a light to the world and remember that your Savior is near you to lift you and even carry you. How I love you all for your devotion to your families and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
