The USMNT suddenly turned into one of the most complete team in international soccer as soon as we divided the game into four quarters. You connect the dots.
The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square @TheTabChoir will mark the 250th anniversary of the United States with a special broadcast of “Music and the Spoken Word” on Sunday, July 5, 2026. Kansas City Chiefs Head Coach Andy Reid of the National Football League will join the Choir as guest narrator for the historic program.
Reid, a three-time Super Bowl champion and one of the most respected coaches in NFL history, will reflect on the principles of unity, perseverance and faith that have shaped the American story.
“The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square lends its voice in celebrating the freedom of religion proclaimed to the world in the Declaration of Independence 250 years ago,” said Choir President Michael O. Leavitt.

Our Savior Jesus Christ taught us how to relate to one another. The great commandments in the law, He taught, were to love—God and neighbor. (Matthew 22:37-39)
In a world that increasingly may mock our beliefs, we will be known by our kindness, our service, our integrity.
What a remarkable time to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and to never be ashamed of His gospel.
Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶
The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.
As I mentioned during my general conference address Sunday morning, followers of Christ should follow Him by forgoing contention and by using the language and methods of peacemakers. In our families and other personal relationships, let us avoid what is harsh and hateful. Let us seek to be holy, like our Savior.
When we consider the character of the Savior we tend to focus immediately on His attributes, such as virtue, integrity, humility, compassion, and courage, but we should also consider, what is it in Jesus that gives rise to such character traits?
I believe they are the natural fruit of the thoughts, desires, and intents of His heart.
Christlike character grows out of a Christlike heart.
Thus, if we are to succeed in developing a Christlike character, we must possess His motivations—His thoughts, desires, and intents of the heart. For us, it will require what the scriptures call a “mighty change of heart.”
Jesus thinks and acts out of pure love; He yearns to bless and lift others; and He delights to do the will of God.
With faith in Christ, we can pray that the Holy Spirit will effect a mighty change in us to instill these same divine motivations in our heart and help us practice the attributes of a Christlike character. #GeneralConference

“He is risen! He is risen!
Tell it out with joyful voice.
He has burst his three days’ prison;
Let the whole wide earth rejoice.
Death is conquered; man is free.
Christ has won the victory.”
— “He Is Risen!,” Hymns, no. 199
May we demonstrate the pure love of Christ in our families, in our communities, and in all of our interactions with God’s children.

Truly, Jesus Christ is the way to peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come. He knows and loves each of us perfectly, and invites us to walk with Him, abide in Him, and follow His example of ministering to others one by one in charity and love.
We have been reminded of the central role of marriage and families in our Heavenly Father’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children. May we demonstrate the pure love of Christ in our families, in our communities, and in all of our interactions with God’s children.

The literal resurrection of Jesus is, of course, the subject of so many scriptures that it is settled doctrine for believers of the Bible and Book of Mormon. For us, the universal resurrection is equally certain.
I wonder if we fully appreciate the enormous significance of our belief in a literal, universal resurrection. The conviction that death is not the conclusion of our identity changes the whole perspective of our mortal life.
It affects how we look on the physical challenges of mortality. It gives us the strength and perspective to endure the mortal challenges faced by each of us and by those we love.
It signifies that mortal deficiencies are only temporary! It also gives us the courage to face our own death or that of loved ones—even deaths we might call premature.
Our belief in the resurrection also encourages us to fulfill our family responsibilities in mortality. It helps us live together in love in this life in anticipation of joyful reunions and associations in the next.

Focusing on the Savior, His infinite Atonement, and what He has done for us will bring joy and clarity into our lives, no matter how many other concerns we have.
I cannot add more time to your days or eliminate the many concerns modern life brings. But I can offer this counsel: Not all matters are of equal value, and maintaining an eternal perspective helps us prioritize the things that are of greatest value.
This is why ancient and modern prophets have always and will always direct us to Christ.
Because Jesus Christ completed the Atonement, He has the power to help you along your earthly journey and to redeem you from death, both physical and spiritual. Celebrate the joyous message of Easter every day by reflecting every day on the blessings you receive because of Him.
Jesus Christ is the Resurrection and the Life, the Only Begotten of the Father, the Worthy Lamb who was slain, our Redeemer, our Savior, our Advocate, and most assuredly, the Risen Lord. #GeneralConference #GreaterLove
“Jesus Christ and His Resurrection is at the very core of the doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.” — Elder Ronald A. Rasband (@RonaldARasband) #GeneralConference
In this sacred Easter season, our hearts turn with deep gratitude and reverent devotion to our Savior, Jesus Christ and remember His merciful mortal ministry, His perfect love, and His marvelous gift of the Atonement.
The Savior teaches that He is the true, trusted, and essential source of spiritual nourishment for our souls:
“I am the true vine… ye are the branches: he that abideth in [Me], and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without [Me] ye can do nothing” (John 15:1, 4–5).
Through Him, we receive strength beyond our own to not only survive the challenges of life, but to grow and thrive. Through Him life becomes more hopeful and more joyful, and the fruits of the Spirit are manifested in us.
Therefore, just as branches cannot bear fruit of themselves unless they remain connected to the vine, neither can we reach our full spiritual measure unless we abide in Jesus Christ and His gospel.
In this sacred Easter season, I solemnly testify that Jesus Christ is the True Vine. He lives.
He rose from the dead, and His redeeming power is real. I bear witness that His voice is the voice of truth and life. With perfect love, He invites all to abide in Him and to continue in His love, that we may recognize His power in our lives, that God’s love may be perfected in us, and we may know that we are in Him. #GeneralConference
The world today seems to be in commotion. There are wars and rumors of wars. The economies of whole continents seem to be faltering. Prophesied wickedness seems to be accelerating as the Savior’s return draws nearer.
Yet despite turmoil and difficulty, faithful Latter-day Saints in hardship across the world have flooded heaven with prayers.
In public, and in private, they are petitioning the Lord for help, for comfort, for direction, and personal peace for those they love.
Jesus Christ, in whose name we pray, lives, knows us, watches over us, and cares for us.
As we pray continually, no matter the circumstances of life, the Lord will offer us His peace and abiding support.
Consistent prayer during joyous times and also during seasons of distress and grief will surely be rewarded according to His will and perfect timing.

The General Conference we convened today was remarkable because it began with what we call a Solemn Assembly. For more than a century this has been an event of great significance to members of the Church.
In a Solemn Assembly, we vote to sustain members of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in this Assembly voting by quorums and groups. We do this only in the first conference where a new president and prophet of the Church has been called.
I am grateful to be among those whose callings are formally recognized in this way, and appreciate your participation in this significant occasion.
I express our gratitude as leaders of the Church for our members’ sustaining vote, prayers, and support. We also pray for you to be guided and prospered as you continue the great service you give to the children of God throughout the world.
At this Easter season, I reaffirm our testimony of the Resurrected Lord and recognize that He is the head of this Church. We pray for His blessings upon this conference and upon all of you.
