Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We invite you to read or watch President Oaks’ first address to the Church as a newly ordained prophet, delivered on February 10, 2026. We believe his message will have a meaningful spiritual impact on each of us, as well as in our stake, wards, and families.

In his remarks, President Oaks teaches that drawing closer to Jesus Christ is the sure way to remain spiritually strong. He invites us to strengthen our faith, increase humility, support one another, and be patient in our spiritual growth.

We feel his counsel will help prepare our hearts and minds for the teachings of General Conference on April 4 and 5.

You may access his message here: https://speeches.byu.edu/talks/dallin-h-oaks/coming-closer-to-jesus-christ/

It is also available on the stake website: https://sites.google.com/view/rexburgidahosouthstake/home

Thank you for your faith and your continued efforts to follow the Savior.

With love,

Stake Presidency

REMEMBER HIM

Christmas to Easter

He Is Risen! | A Special 2025 Easter Season Message from the First Presidency

Without the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, our faith would be in vain. But because He conquered death, we have hope that never fades, peace that surpasses understanding, and the eternal promise of life with Him.

As Easter approaches, the First Presidency invites us to do more than simply celebrate this sacred event—we are called to live in its light and remember the #GreaterLove that made it possible. As Jesus taught, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13). Because of His infinite love and sacrifice, we will all rise again.

Let us strengthen our families, share our testimonies, and embrace traditions that reflect the true meaning of Easter.

This season, may our hearts echo the exclamation heard around the world: “He is Risen!”
