Sister Kristin M. Yee was a little girl when she witnessed the power of the Relief Society and ministering from her seat in the back of the family station wagon.
“I would join my mother when she would go out visiting teaching or just visiting someone in need. Her visits were not limited to her assignments,” she remembered. “My mom would put all of us kids in the back of our station wagon, and we would watch or help as she would listen, talk, teach, cook, clean and care for others and their children. Everyone loved my mom because she loved them.
“She showed us what it meant to love as the Savior would. We saw how important it was to care for those around us. We were always making food for someone and dropping it off on our visits.”
Now as the recently called Second Counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency, Sister Yee continues to deepen her testimony of ministering. “When we offer kindness and sincerely love and minister to those around us, then we are successful no matter what goes right or wrong in our day, and that’s because ‘charity never faileth.’”

A gifted artist and manager of the Church’s animation team, Sister Yee likely never expected to serve as a general leader in a growing, global Church. She begins her new calling August 1. But she learned a proven truth early on: Let God guide your path—and you will end up right where you belong.
“The Lord is in charge, and I trust Him,” she told the Church News. “My hope is that I will be able to hear Him as best as I can and do what He wants me to do.”
