Recalling the firm foundation built by generations of strong LDS Church auxiliary leaders, President Thomas S. Monson lauded the efforts of two former Young Women general presidents.

The Lord prepared Sisters Florence S. Jacobsen and Ruth H. Funk — who both have fine \"executive ability\" — to serve in the Mutual Improvement Association of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, President Monson said.

\"The church moves on and programs change, but the basic responsibility of helping youth to choose the right when the choice is placed before them is as cardinal a rule today as it has ever been,\" said President Monson.

He spoke at a luncheon held in the Relief Society Building for former general Young Women leaders and their boards.
