“Dear Friends,” Friend, February 2023, inside front cover

Dear Friends,

Painting by J. Kirk Richards entitled, "  ." Features a scene from the Book of Mormon when Jesus Christ came to the Americas after his resurrection. "Behold, your little ones." Children came to be blessed by Jesus and angels surrounded them and ministered to them.

Have you ever seen someone being treated unkindly? Maybe that someone was even you. On page 10 you can read about how Heavenly Father helped a girl when she lost a friend. Then on page 24, you can see what Jesus did when others were being treated unkindly.

We love you,

The Friend

P.S. Write and tell us what you did when you were bullied—or how you stood up for someone else. Go to the back cover to see how.
