General Conference Addresses

• April 2022 General Conference
  • We Are The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
    • “My fellow disciples of Christ, let us not underestimate the marvelous work the Lord is doing through us, His Church, despite our shortcomings. Sometimes we are givers and sometimes we are receivers, but we are all one family in Christ. His Church is the structure He has given to guide and bless us as we worship Him and serve each other.”
• April 2021 General Conference
  • The Grave Has No Victory
    • “Back then I did not yet know about God’s plan of salvation, and I had the desire to know where we come from, what the purpose of life is, and what happens to us after we die. Don’t we all have those yearnings when we lose a loved one or when we go through difficulties in our lives?”
• October 2019 General Conference
  • Thru Cloud and Sunshine, Lord, Abide with Me!
    • “Achieving perfection is a process that will take place throughout our mortal life and beyond—and only through the grace of Jesus Christ.”
    • “When we open up about our emotional challenges, admitting we are not perfect, we give others permission to share their struggles.”
    • “Listening with love is one of the greatest gifts we can offer, and we may be able to help carry or lift the heavy clouds that suffocate our loved ones and friends so that, through our love, they can once again feel the Holy Ghost and perceive the light that emanates from Jesus Christ.”
    • “Your struggles do not define you, but they can refine you.”
• April 2018 General Conference
  • With One Accord
    • “Girls and boys, young women and young men, sisters and brothers, we are on this journey together. In order to reach our sublime destiny, we need each other, and we need to be unified.”
    • “Some of the things that the faithful Saints did in unity in both places were that they testified of Jesus Christ, studied the word of God, and ministered to each other with love.”
    • “Even though we may not have seen our Savior with our physical eyes, we can know that He lives. As we draw closer to Him, as we seek to receive a personal witness through the Holy Ghost of His divine mission, we will have a better understanding of our purpose; the love of God will dwell in our hearts; we will have the determination to be one in the kaleidoscopes of our families, wards, and communities; and we will minister to each other “in newer, better ways.””
    • “Our path is not about what we have done or where we have been; it is about where we are going and what we are becoming.”
