An important event held each year for the young women in every ward of the Church is called New Beginnings. We, as a newly called Young Women general presidency, have been enjoying our own personal “new beginning” this past month after we were sustained in April general conference. We are grateful for the marvelous outpouring of support and love we have felt from members around the world. What a great honor and privilege it is for us to be called to serve the young women of the Church in these exciting times. With the recent announcement of the lowered age for young missionaries, the worldwide introduction of the new Come, Follow Me youth curriculum, and the emphasis on the youth being involved in doing family history research, we feel blessed to be a part of this hastening of the Lord’s work (see D&C 88:73).
