What a beautiful privilege it is to travel the world bearing testimony of the name of Jesus Christ.

My recent assignment to the Europe Central Area of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints brought feelings of love and appreciation for the service and sacrifice of all who have dedicated their lives to our Savior.

Yesterday I had the privilege of representing The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in a special interfaith meeting at Palacio San Martín in Buenos Aires, Argentina, alongside Pope Leo XIV and other important civic and religious leaders.

I was especially touched by the Pope’s expressions of respect for human dignity and the importance of uniting our efforts to protect human life and the world in which we live.

Echoing these teachings of Jesus Christ, our prophet President Dallin H. Oaks has recently urged all of God’s children to become peacemakers by following the first and second great commandments of loving God and neighbor.

May each of us live by these principles and continue to find common ground with those with whom we share this beautiful world.

The discipleship of Emma Smith was remarkable.

Her life reminds us that enduring is not merely surviving adversity; it is moving forward with faith in Jesus Christ while adversity continues around us.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was established on April 6, 1830, a day we honor in the Church.

We are nearing that Bicentennial Anniversary.

I want to recognize you as a part of this great work as we celebrate the Restoration in these latter days.

[David A. Bednar @BednarDavidA]

Can you and I overcome the propensities of the natural man or woman through willpower and goal setting and determination and discipline?

No.

We learn in the Book of Mormon that the Savior is at the center of our transformation:

“For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint THROUGH the Atonement of Christ the Lord” (Mosiah 3:19).

[Dallin H. Oaks @OaksDallinH]

I recognize that many of you face significant challenges and uncertainties that cause stress, anxiety, and heartache. I pray for you. I love you.

I am thankful that social media allows me to provide you with encouragement, direction, and a reminder of eternal truths.

Please remember this: whatever difficulties you may be experiencing, Jesus Christ is the way to joy and peace.

People who subscribe to the doctrine of the gospel of Jesus Christ find that it makes their lives happier, more significant, and more resistant to the difficulties we all experience.

You have a Heavenly Father who has provided a plan for you. Trust in Him. With His help, you can find peace despite the trials and obstacles of mortality.

With love,
President Oaks

PHOTO OF THE WEEK: Elder @DaleGRenlund of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles greets a Church member before the dedication of the San Luis Potosí Mexico Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. As people come to the temple, “they will feel God’s love, they will feel His presence,” he said.

The experiences throughout Dan Patterson’s military career have made him “passionate about the service and ministry that is available to service members” who belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The retired Army lieutenant colonel and manager for Church Military Relations said he is excited for the Church’s continuing efforts to “nourish (see Moroni 6:4) military members of the Church who experience significant life transitions without traditional family and friend support networks.”

The Church strives to minister to military members, veterans and their families through faith, belonging and Christ-centered support wherever they serve. Improved access to resources for military members, their families and the leaders who support them includes a way to recognize military service in the Gospel Tools app and an updated website.

This year, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ production of “Savior of the World: His Birth and Resurrection” on Temple Square will be presented as a concert with performances over two days and a live broadcast, rather than a month-long production of the full musical.

Because of preparations for the 2027 Salt Lake Temple Celebration and the closure of the Conference Center, the sacred musical drama that presents the life, mission and divine nature of Jesus Christ will be a concert version of Act 1, which focuses on the anticipation and celebration of the Savior’s birth.

The “Savior of the World” concert will be held on Friday and Saturday, November 27–28, 2026, in English and ASL in the historic Tabernacle on Temple Square, at 7:30 p.m., with an additional Saturday matinee at 2 p.m. The 70-minute performances are free, but tickets are required. Tickets become available on Tuesday, November 10, at 10 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time.

The concert on November 28 will be streamed live in English and ASL on the Church’s YouTube channel and https://t.co/l6a2JEMXkf and will be available later in Gospel Library.

Such a beautiful reunion! Glad you got to see this missionary reuniting with her family.
Missionaries are volunteers who have set aside their normal lives for up to two years to help others come closer to Jesus Christ. Before leaving on a mission, they were students, employees, athletes, bookworms, musicians, etc. After their service, they will return home to finish  college, work, date and marry, and live a pretty normal life.

“Be a light and an example in your community.”

Elder Quentin L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles delivered this message to young adults around the world on Sunday, November 1, 2026.

“It is important to be a light on the hill and an example of a committed disciple of Jesus Christ,” Elder @CookQuentinL said. “When you do this, you will help others to see their potential in a world where they might feel alone, unseen or spiritually disoriented. Light is most powerful when it is consistent and reliable, such as a lighthouse or a candle in a dark room.”
