General Conference Addresses

• October 2021 General Conference
  • I Pray He’ll Use Us
    • “Brothers and sisters, through your ministry, donations, time, and love, you have been the answer to so many prayers. And yet there is so much more to do. As baptized members of the Church, we are under covenant to care for those in need. Our individual efforts don’t necessarily require money or faraway locations; they do require the guidance of the Holy Spirit and a willing heart to say to the Lord, “Here am I; send me.””
• October 2020 General Conference
  • By Union of Feeling We Obtain Power with God
    • “Let’s not judge each other or let our words bite. Let’s keep each other’s names safe and give the gift of mercy.”
    • “We all beg for mercy for our sins and failures. He freely gives it. And He asks us if we can give that same mercy and understanding to each other.”
    • “Our covenantal assignment is to minister, to lift up the hands that hang down, to put struggling people on our backs or in our arms and carry them. It isn’t complicated to know what to do, but it often goes against our selfish interests, and we have to try.”
• April 2019 General Conference
  • Christ: The Light That Shines in Darkness
    • “When expectations overwhelm us, we can step back and ask Heavenly Father what to let go of. Part of our life experience is learning what not to do.”
    • “For those seeking truth, it may seem at first to be the foolish claustrophobia of windows made of stone. But with patience and faithful questions, Jesus can transform our windows of stone to glass and light.”
• October 2017 General Conference
  • Turn On Your Light
    • “Being righteous doesn’t mean being perfect or never making mistakes. It means developing an inner connection with God, repenting of our sins and mistakes, and freely helping others.”
    • “By coming back to the Lord and His ways, she changed the course of her history and her little boy’s history and her new husband’s. She is righteous; she has a wide-open heart for others who have made mistakes and want to change. And just like all of us, she isn’t perfect, but she knows how to repent and to keep trying.”
    • “Innovation and creation are spiritual gifts.”
    • “The restored gospel is recognizably well defined. But we have to be distinct about how we follow it.”
    • “There is an energy that comes from happiness and optimism that doesn’t just bless us—it builds everyone around us.”
    • “I appeal to each of you to put yourself in a place where you can feel the generous love God has for you. You cannot put yourself beyond the reach of that love. When you feel His love, when you love Him, you will repent and keep His commandments. When you keep His commandments, He can use you in His work. His work and glory is the exaltation and eternal life of women and men.”
