First Quorum of the Seventy (April 2, 2011 – Present)

General Conference Addresses

• April 2024 General Conference
  • Jesus Christ at the Center of Our Lives
    • “The Lord extends His hand to each of us, a gesture that is the very essence of His divine love and kindness. His invitation to us transcends a simple call; it is a divine pledge, reinforced by the enduring power of His grace.”
    • “This miracle teaches a profound lesson: when confronted with challenges, it’s easy to become engrossed in our difficulties. However, Jesus Christ exemplified the power of focusing on His Father, offering gratitude, and acknowledging that solutions to our trials do not always lie within ourselves but with God.”
• October 2017 General Conference
  • Love One Another as He Has Loved Us
    • “Love is a combination of actions as well as deep feelings.”
    • “In today’s world of so much suffering because of different circumstances, sending a text message with a funny emoji or posting a nice picture with the words “I love you” is good and valuable. But what many of us need to do is leave our mobile devices behind and, with our hands and feet, help others in great need. Love without service is like faith without works; it’s dead indeed.”
• October 2011 General Conference
  • Doing the Right Thing at the Right Time, without Delay
    • “When we serve our neighbor, we help those who are in need. In the process we may find solutions to our own difficulties.”
    • “Brothers and sisters, there may be many who, for some reason, are lost from our sight and who do not know that they are lost. If we delay, we could lose them forever.”
    • “Let us do the right thing at the right time, without delay.”
