In a recent Ensign article, Director of LDS Charities Sharon Eubank shares the ways the Church has empowered her as a woman.

“Why, in my right mind would I ever want to kill myself?” That was my thought as I walked down the dirt streets of Nicargua. I remember getting hit by an avalanche of thoughts telling me to take my own life. It was heavy and no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t lift it off of me. “Everyone feels this way, right?” “It will pass.” “I’m not praying enough, I’m not studying efficaciously enough.” “I just have to work harder and be more obedient.” I wasn’t good enough. I mentioned to my dad (who was in prison) in an email the thoughts that I was struggling with and he said that sometimes he felt down too but he just had to keep his chin up and things got better as he pressed forward in faith. Ok dad, if you say so.

Over 62 million views. That's what it took for 11-year-old Lincoln Markham and his father, Daniel, to make it onto TIME magazine's list of the top 10 viral YouTube videos of 2016, appearing alongside stars like Adele, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Channing Tatum.

With a mix of TV celebrities, Church leaders, and BYU's head football coach, RootsTech2017 is shaping up to be an exciting event. Here's what Steve Rockwood, the CEO of FamilySearch International, says about this year's lineup.

I spent Sunday evening at a friend’s house, enjoying a “Father’s Day BBQ”, as if we need an excuse to get together. We were talking and laughing, and someone brought up our Sunday school lesson on the Word of Wisdom. My ward has two really good Sunday school teachers, and our lesson was as usual, a good one. As with any ward, my ward has it’s share of “characters” (I should know, I’m pretty sure I am one). We always have a couple of comments that I think are nutty, and I generally make comments that a few other people view similarly. As my friends were all talking, I blurted out, “I love our ward”. It’s true, I love it. I had some reservations moving back into the ward I grew up in, but it’s been wonderful. My former YW leaders welcomed me and my family, and made us feel instantly at home. There are plenty of new families and we’ve made some really good friends, and I’ve found a neighborhood book club full of women who have similar views on life as I do.

This is a message mothers everywhere need to hear.
