General Authority Seventy (April 1, 2017 – present)

General Conference Addresses

• April 2021 General Conference
  • God Loves His Children
    • “Sometimes God manifests His love by chastening us. It is a way of reminding us that He loves us and that He knows who we are. His promised blessing of peace is open to all those who courageously walk the covenant path and are willing to receive correction.”
    • “Just as I was contemplating the experience, I was called upon to give my concluding thoughts to the discussion. Among other things, I shared the lessons that I had just been taught: one, I had just been chastened by the Holy Ghost, and I loved it because I was the only one who heard it; two, because of the Savior’s sacrifice and ransom, I will no longer refer to my challenges as trials and tribulations but as my learning experiences; and three, because of His perfect and sinless life, I will no longer refer to my shortcomings and lack of abilities as weaknesses but rather as my development opportunities. This experience helped me know that God chastens us because He loves us.”
• April 2018 General Conference
  • Saving Ordinances Will Bring Us Marvelous Light
    • “Like a coin with two sides, all the saving ordinances are accompanied by covenants with God. God promised us blessings if we faithfully honor those covenants.”
    • “When we are casual shepherds of our own soul and others’ souls, casualties are likely. Casualness leads to casualties.”
