“There are new ways to invite others to ‘come and see.’ Let’s make sharing our faith online more a part of our daily life. LDS.org, Mormon.org, Facebook, Twitter—all provide opportunities.” — Elder Neil L. Andersen

Temple & Family History
Temple & Family History
"This work, unselfishly given in behalf of those on the other side, comes nearer to the unparalleled vicarious work of the Savior than any other of which I know. The great and important work of teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to the people of the world is incomplete, at best, if it does not also provide for that teaching to those in another sphere and making available to them those gospel ordinances required of all if they are to move forward on the way to eternal life.” President Gordon B. Hinckley, Nov. 1985
“Our Temple & Family History work has power to bless those beyond the veil, it has an equal power to bless the living – it has a refining influence on those who are engaged in it.” President Russell M Nelson

The Course That Changed Our Course
Starting and Growing a Business
Life Skills [For older youth and young single adults, Life Skills for Self-Reliance contains the most applicable content from three self-reliance manuals (Personal Finances, Find a Better Job, and Education for Better Work.) This group helps participants research career and education opportunities, find and obtain employment, and learn how to manage their money. It will prepare them for missions, future education, military service, and work after high school.
Together We Can Help Lift the Burdens of Job Loss and Financial Difficulty
This year, for many, has been especially trying and uncertain. Despite financial hardships and other challenges, becoming self-reliant is possible. And you can help make it a reality for yourself and others.
The Glorious Opportunity for Work
“Work is an antidote for anxiety, an ointment for sorrow, and a doorway to possibility. Whatever our circumstances in life, … let us do the best we can and cultivate a reputation for excellence in all that we do. Let us set our minds and bodies to the glorious opportunity for work that each new day presents.” Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
