The teenagers were attending a youth activity at their local congregation of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
One participant, Hannah, said: "I love the way that my mum helps me through all the hard things that I can't get through all by myself. And I love that she teaches me about the gospel to help me to draw closer to Heavenly Father. I loved doing the activity because it helped me to connect with other mothers in the ward and have a greater appreciation for them."
Another teenager, Tangakina, said: "My mum is always caring and loving and she always loves us even when we're not behaving."
She added, "Mum loved it [the activity]. When we went home she was so proud, telling my dad and siblings that I did massage and her nails."
President and Prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Russell M. Nelson, said in 2018: “No one can duplicate the influence of a mother. … Anytime I use the word mother, I am not talking only about women who have given birth or adopted children in this life. I am speaking about all of our Heavenly Parents’ adult daughters. Every woman is a mother by virtue of her eternal divine destiny.”
