In years past, Latter-day Saint Earth Stewardship bestowed an award called “Steward of the Year” to someone who demonstrated exceptional earth stewardship in their community. During the pandemic, the Steward of the Year celebration was put on hold, but we are very excited to finally be bring it back. Congrats to Volker Molthan, this year’s winner!

This season, as I celebrate the promised arrival of our Savior here on earth, I also practice anticipation of His promised return. When I spend time with my family, I want to more thoughtfully consider the legacy I’ll leave them. As I write out my resolutions and seek the spirit’s guidance, I’m trying to think further ahead into the future: five years into the future, thirty-five years, and perhaps four hundred years. Will what I do today bring a curse to those who come after? Can my actions instead be a blessing?
