I remember hearing of missionaries talking about a program called “OYM”. I thought it sounded odd until I learned what the acronym actually meant. Pretty important in sharing the gospel! 😀
This week we are studying Doctrine and Covenants sections 29. First, we’ll talk about the role of agency in change and mental health improvement. We’ll discuss how we need to take accountability for our choices and do difficult things. We’ll also talk about how as we align our will with God, we will achieve greater strength to endure all kinds of challenges. Finally, we’ll discuss how trials, including mental health challenges, are part of a greater process to help us exercise our agency and eventually become more like our Father in Heaven and our Savior Jesus Christ.

This week, we’re really excited to share a conversation about a brand-new Children’s book called Changemakers by McArthur Krishna and Anne Pimentel, with beautiful artwork by Jessica Sarah Beach. The book is a powerful and much-needed affirmation, especially in a moment when many women are quietly wondering where they fit. Through stories from scripture and the global history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it highlights women whose ideas, faith, and courage have helped shape the church in meaningful and lasting ways.
Have you ever thought about how much your music choices affect your spirit? Meg Johnson shares a story about a woman in Guatemala who sang to block out the stench of a turkey—and how music can help us endure even life’s stinkiest situations. But here’s the catch: Not all music brings us closer to Christ. Some songs inspire, while others distract. So today, take a look at your playlist. Are the songs you listen to helping you feel the Spirit—or pulling you away from it? Because the music we choose shapes our thoughts, emotions, and faith more than we realize.
Section 29 really introduces this concept of “the gathering” and it has really “captured the attention” of President Nelson...and he has really emphasized the importance of it in our day to help the world prepare for the Second Coming of the Savior. 😇
