First- I will share with you a link to a talk given by President Uchtdorf at the General Relief Society Conference. His talk was inspiring and uplifting to me. I encourage you to take the time to read or listen to his talk-"Forget me Not".

Second- I would like to share with all of you my love and appreciation for all you do. Being a mother of 5 Young Women I find great strength in knowing that I am not alone in raising them. I am sure other mothers feel much the same as I do. I know our daughters are in good hands. Thank you!
Lastly I would like to share my testimony.
I know that I am a daughter of God. I know he knows me personally and loves me regardless of my imperfections. I know and love my Savior-Jesus Christ. How grateful I am for his atoning sacrifice and the unconditional and selfless love he has given me. I know that we are only given the trials and obstacles in life to help us grow and become more like our Savior. It is through my faith and love of the Savior that I am able to overcome all those trials. I know that Joseph Smith is a prophet chosen to come forth in these latter days to restore to gospel to the earth for each of us. The Book of Mormon is the word of God. I love this book and have a testimony of the truthfulness of it. I know the Young Women program is for each of us. If is here for all to become stronger and more faithful saints and to help our Young Women come to know who they are-Daughters of God! I leave my testimony with you and express my love and gratitude once again for each of you. Amen.
Love,
Debbie Castagno
