Several women leaders also created social media posts commemorating Easter Sunday, including President Jean B. Bingham, Relief Society general president; Sister Sharon Eubank, first counselor in the Relief Society presidency; and Sister Rebecca L. Craven, second counselor in the Young Women general presidency.

Each of the newly released members of the Primary general presidency posted, expressing their love for each other, Primary children and the Savior.

On April 5, President Bonnie H. Cordon, Young Women general president, shared a picture of a virtual meeting with more than 50 sisters who have been called to serve as international area organization advisers.

When President Oaks extended the call to Sister Michelle D. Craig to serve in the Young Women general presidency, he didn’t ask “if I had never missed a day of scripture study, if my house was clean, what size my clothes were, when the last time I ministered was, or if I struggled with feelings of insecurity (yes!).”

“The question that really mattered for me in that moment, and the question that really matters in the end for each of us: Are we worthy? Are we TRYING to be?” she wrote in a social media post April 5.
