Douglas D. Holmes

First Counselor in General Young Mens Presidency (April 4, 2015 – present)

General Conference Addresses

• April 2020 General Conference
  • Deep in Our Heart
    • “Helping others understand their true identity and purpose is one of the greatest gifts we can give.”
    • “It’s not enough just to be bound together. There are many groups and organizations that achieve unity around a variety of causes. But the unity we seek is to be one in Christ, to connect ourselves with Him.”
• April 2018 General Conference
  • What Every Aaronic Priesthood Holder Needs to Understand
    • “Sometimes, I fear, we figuratively give our young men of the Aaronic Priesthood children’s chairs to sit on rather than helping them see that God has given them a sacred trust and a vital work to do.”
    • “To preach the gospel is a priesthood duty. And the power associated with this duty is not just for prophets or even just for missionaries. It is for you!”
