Beautiful

[Jeff Rust @RustJeff]

So beautifully articulated. I so agree and am so grateful for President Holland.

[Dale G. Renlund @DaleGRenlund]

I have never known anyone like President Jeffrey R. Holland. Words were the brushes of his artistry, passion the oil of his paint, and love of Jesus Christ the canvas on which he painted. Like no one else, he had the capacity to break through a teleprompter or a pulpit or a microphone and squeeze my heart.

I loved seeing him laugh. I loved hearing him teach. I loved being with him. When assigned to speak in the same meeting with him, I realized I was out of my league, much like I would have been had I ever tried to play basketball with Michael Jordan.

When I learned of President Holland’s last hospitalization, I felt something a bit different than with his prior hospitalizations. He had completely worn himself out in the service of the Master. He had given all he could—and more. He had “fought a good fight… finished [his] course… [and] kept the faith" (see 2 Timothy 4:7).

I will deeply miss the President of my Quorum, my fellow Apostle, and my dear friend.

[Jeff Rust @RustJeff]

I have seen this in my life.

All of us have experienced challenges and afflictions as part of mortality.

We are reminded, “And ye cannot bear all things now; nevertheless, be of good cheer, for I will lead you along. The kingdom is yours and the blessings thereof are yours, and the riches of eternity are yours” (Doctrine and Covenants 78:18).

No interest in reading the Book of Mormon, but curious if it actually does talk about Jesus?

10 verses you can read in less than a minute:

General Conference makes me want to be a better person.

I’m gonna try.

[LEGO Joseph Smith @Mormonger]

I probably need to frame this

I’m not sure I’ve ever craved the messages of general conference more than I do right now.

I cannot wait to be instructed and edified by prophets, seers and revelators.

[Jeff Rust @RustJeff]

Such a beautiful and perfect start to General Conference.

[Gary E. Stevenson @StevensonGaryE]

This morning, I described how blessed it is to be a peacemaker and how peacemaking begins in the most basic place: in our hearts, then in homes and families.

As we practice there, peacemaking will spread into our neighborhoods and communities.

Peacemakers are sometimes labeled naive or weak from all sides. Yet, to be a peacemaker is not to be weak, but to be strong in a way the world may not understand.

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints..

Stay strong and keep going!! We know what we believe! Let’s keep making the world a better place and help the world prepare for the second coming of Jesus Christ! Let your light shine!

[Jeff Rust @RustJeff]

Oh how this man, Prophet and Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ blessed my life!!

[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints @Ch_JesusChrist]

With sorrow we announce that Russell M. Nelson, beloved President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has died. He was 101 — the oldest president in the history of the Church.

Here’s the full address just delivered by Utah’s @GovCox .

It is, quite honestly, one of the most powerful speeches I’ve ever heard from a politician, or anyone, for that matter.

Please sit down for 10 minutes and listen. You won’t regret it, I promise.

[Kyle Collinsworth @collinsworth55]

I see a lot of people on the app saying they are praying for the first time or in a long time and are thinking about Christianity. I’d encourage you to contact the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint’s missionaries. They can teach you how to pray and teach you about Jesus Christ and his gospel! Check out https://t.co/Tc8fDqHEOt to learn more! We cannot conquer evil without Jesus Christ! Let’s come together with a focus on Jesus Christ!

[Dallin H. Oaks @OaksDallinH]

As we enter in this new year, let us prepare for an Easter celebration of the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ culminating in His Resurrection—the most glorious event in history—and contemplate our own future resurrection.

How grateful I am for the profound meaning of the universal Resurrection, which is made possible by the great plan and the boundless love of God the Father and our Savior Jesus Christ. #GreaterLove

[Jeff Rust @RustJeff]

I love this and agree.

[Jared Bell @jaredadairbell]

Not a single person that joins the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has ever thought they are leaving Christianity.

Because they aren’t.

They join because the Church offers a more complete and rich form of Christianity—spiritually, organizationally, and doctrinally.

@StatueOfWhitt @cnicol49 @ToddBGolf @InkedCougar @laceandrus @lasersheep When we got out of the car there were 3 Utah fans sitting by their car, I suspect they were the ones who left us the present. That being said, as we were cleaning them off, other Utah fans walked by, stopped to help us and apologized and said, "not all of us are like that".

[Jeff Rust @RustJeff]

@StatueOfWhitt @cnicol49 @ToddBGolf @InkedCougar @laceandrus @lasersheep Thank you!! I was at the game in Royal, up in one of the suites and everyone I encountered was total class. I did get to my car (which is a non descript rental with Montana plates) and as we got back to our car, we had 14 smashed beer cans left on our windshield.

[Jeff Rust @RustJeff]

@jaredadairbell Amen!!

Unless we see all the meaning and joy of Christmas—the whole of Christ’s life, His profound mission, the end as well as the beginning—then Christmas will be just another day off work with food and fun and festivities.

The true meaning—the unique, joyous meaning—of the birth of Jesus Christ was not confined to those first hours in Bethlehem but would be realized in the life He would lead and in His death, in His triumphant atoning sacrifice, and in His prison-bursting Resurrection. These are the realities that make Christmas joyful.

This year, let us remember the greatest gift ever given: the Atonement and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Every 6 months, millions of LDS Church members watch "General Conference"

21,000 of them gather in a remarkable piece of real estate to watch in person.

Most have no idea how massive, one of a kind & record-breaking this building is.

Some mind-numbing facts 🤯:

- There's a man-made waterfall inside that's fed from a natural creek, plus a 4 acre garden on the roof!

- It's 1.4 million square feet and only took 3 years to build

- It's the largest theatre-style auditorium ever built

- The concrete footings for the roof structure are 8 feet thick and 40 feet wide

- It's built to withstand floods and 8.4 richter scale earthquakes

- There are no columns or obstructed views across all 21,000 seats, as shown below

- The upper level is designed to sink 5/8 of an inch when full (freaky)

-Every piece of the stage is movable, designed to be converted for stage productions and concerts

- There are 50,000 miles of electrical wire in the building, enough to circle the globe twice

- The organ is one of a kind, and the organ pipes range from 3/4 inch to 40 feet tall and tool 3 years to install

- The carpet and upholstery are designed to reduce reverberation from the speakers

- From the top of the balcony to the podium is the length of a football field, and you could fit a Boeing 747 inside

- An additional 18,000,000 pounds could be placed on the roof without it collapsing, with a weight-bearing capacity of 300 lbs per square inch

- It was built to last 150+ years

- The main chandelier is 3 stories tall

- It was made from the same granite quarry as the famous SLC temple across the street

- The parking garage below hold 1,300 cars and is 450,000 square feet, as big as 2 Costcos

- It took over 1,100 workers and 80 subcontractors to finish

- The garden on the roof has a full irrigation system and an elaborate snow melting system and water collection system

- #LDSConf is translated into over 100 languages in 60 translation booths downstairs with the help of 800 volunteers

- Conference is broadcasted to over 200 countries around the world and has been happening for 193 years

- The speakers are leaders from the LDS Church, speaking across 5 2 hour sessions on Saturday and Sunday every Fall and Spring, including today!

- Talks are given center on Jesus Christ and other topics related to our faith

Anyone can tour this building for free. Regardless of your faith, or no faith even, Temple Square is an awesome, special place to visit, even if you're purely a real estate aficionado

I better wrap this up so I can go watch myself. You can stream live in YouTube.

Hope you found this interesting! Follow @mhp_guy for more cool stuff sometimes I guess.
