I’m in the orange shirt, me and my Irish family at nephews marriage to a native on island of Oahu the year Katrina hit America. I’m much older now, maybe wiser.
Today's General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ is a reminder to the world that the Church that Christ organized, as taught in the Holy Bible, is on this earth.
“Therefore, hold up your light that it may shine unto the world. Behold I am the light which ye shall hold up—that which ye have seen me do. Behold ye see that I have prayed unto the Father, and ye all have witnessed” (3 Nephi 18:24).

“Whatever our offering in the Lord’s economy, we always come out ahead”
YES 🙌 🙏
Fully serving in our callings is one of the greatest blessings of the Lord’s Church
“The Lord taught Moses this assuring truth: “I know thee by name.”
In Eden’s garden, He called Adam.
At the empty tomb, He called Mary.
On the road to Damascus, He called Saul.
And in the Sacred Grove, He called Joseph.
All by name.”
-Elder Matswagothata #GeneralConference
In contrast to the institutions of the world, which teach us to know something, the gospel of Jesus Christ challenges us to become something.
- President Dallin H. Oaks
More Latter-Day Saints should follow Bro. Peck on X.
(He's my institute teacher, so I'm biased. Nevertheless, he has great thoughts and knows the scriptures super well.)
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not a social club. It is not a democracy. It is not a casual organization of like-minded people.
It is, however, the Kingdom of God on the earth. It is Zion. It is the only organization on earth through which the ordinances and covenants necessary to return to the presence of God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. It is led by a prophet of God, just as Moses lead the children of Israel to the promised land.
This is a very real, very important, and very sacred organization, and I am grateful to be part of it.
Members of the Church will sustain two new Apostles this April general conference — Elder @Gerald_Causse and Elder @ClarkG_Gilbert . Here are their thoughts on being lifelong witnesses of the Savior.

He died for us so that we could be redeemed. What a Good Friday indeed. There is no greater love than Christ's willing sacrifice for us! As we use Good Friday to remember Jesus Christ, how will you follow His example of love?
Elder Clark Gilbert: "You don't have to be perfect to be a member of this Church, you just have to do your best, and Christ will make up the difference."
Enduring to the end is not merely a relentless determination to grit our teeth, hold on to the limits of our physical strength and mental capacity, and push through the challenges and adversities of mortal life; it is so much more than that.
Enduring to the end is linked inextricably to the spiritual gift of charity, or the pure love of Christ. As we are blessed to receive this supernal gift, a transformation occurs in our spiritual nature and character. Charity encompasses both what we do and what we can become as this spiritual gift ultimately possesses us.
As we follow, love, and serve the Savior, we gradually focus less on our own desires and interests, and more on understanding and addressing the needs of others. We do not merely perform benevolent deeds; rather, our state of being is changed and becomes increasingly Christlike. Charity, then, ultimately possesses us.
The scriptural phrase “endure to the end” is a repeated reminder of the mighty spiritual change in our hearts that should be ongoing throughout our lives; it also is His promise of what we may become if we truly are possessed of the pure love of Christ. #GeneralConference
