After working to create a living record of the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ

of Lattery Saints for 29 years, I think I know three things.

The first is that the members of the church are remarkable.

They are good and they are kind and they are consecrated.

The second is that the same can be said for our leaders.

The organization of the church is so inspired.

And the third thing that I know is that the Church of Jesus Christ, the Valle Sings, is the Savior's Restored Church on Earth.

That from it comes goodness and grace and so many amazing things.

And I'm so, so grateful to be a member of it and to have had the

sacred responsibility to write about its going forth.

This is Sarah Jane Weaver, executive editor of the Church News, welcoming you to the Church News podcast.

We are taking you on a journey of connection as we discuss news and events of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

In October of 2020, we launched the Church News podcast.

For the next 199 weeks, the podcast features leaders and members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints talking about their experiences and sharing their testimonies of the restored gospel.

As host of the podcast, I have treasured every discussion and learned from

every guest. Now I am shifting my focus to a new opportunity as editor of the Deserent News.

This appointment comes after nearly 30 years as a reporter and editor working with the sacred

responsibility of creating a living record of the restoration of the Church

of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In my tenure at the church news, I have witnessed dozens

of temple dedications, interviewed countless members around the world, sat with living prophets

and apostles, and of course, had the opportunity to host this podcast.

Now I officially hand the podcast over to Church News editor Ryan Jensen.
