Summary

With warmth and authenticity, Sister Michelle Craig shares what it’s been like to serve in the Young Women general presidency during the pandemic, and expresses her trust and confidence in the capacity of youth and their leaders. She shares how each of us can see ourselves and others more deeply, and offers personal insights into the preparation of her inspiring October 2020 conference talk, “Eyes to See.” She concludes, “Within the parameters of the Church, we have more of an opportunity to reach out, to lift, and to bless than in any other organization. No one is perfect, and we all make mistakes, but there is great joy that comes when we live the gospel of Jesus Christ.” Resources: • Sister Michelle Craig Biography https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/learn/michelle-craig?lang=eng • Latter-day Saint Women Podcast Episode: Bonnie Cordon, Michelle Craig, Becky Craven | Hearing the Voice of the Lord https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/inspiration/latter-day-saints-channel/listen/series/latter-day-saint-women/bonnie-cordon-michelle-craig-becky-craven-hearing-the-voice-of-the-lord?lang=eng • 2020 Temple and Family History Leadership Instruction https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/video/2020-temple-and-family-history-leadership-instruction/2020-02-1000-2020-family-history-leadership-session-1080p?lang=eng • Nov. 15, 2020 Face to Face with the Young Women General Presidency https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/broadcasts/face-to-face/young-women-celebration?lang=eng • Sister Michelle Craig Instagram account https://www.instagram.com/michelledcraig/ • Sister Michelle Craig October 2020 general conference talk, “Eyes to See” https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2020/10/14craig?lang=eng
