People often inquire about the exact time of the Second Coming.

While we cannot know that (see Matthew 24:36), what if the day of His coming were tomorrow? If you knew that you would meet the Lord tomorrow—through premature death or through His unexpected coming—what would you do today?

As Jesus taught in His prophecy of the Second Coming, blessed is the “faithful and wise servant” who is attending to his duty when the Lord comes (see Matthew 24:45–46).

“Wherefore,” the Savior tells us, “be faithful, praying always, having your lamps trimmed and burning, and oil with you, that you may be ready at the coming of the Bridegroom—For behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, that I come quickly” (Doctrine and Covenants 33:17–18).

Jesus Christ lives. I testify that He shall come, as He has promised.

Today, the beautiful doors of the Salt Lake Temple were installed. This temple and the temples around the world are meaningful to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints because when we enter through these doors, we enter the house of the Lord. There is no place on earth in which we are closer to Him.

There is something profoundly symbolic about stepping into the Lord’s holy house. In doing so, we leave behind the noise and burdens of a troubled world and enter a place of peace, light, and divine love. Within the holy walls of the temple, we make promises that connect us to our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.

As we leave the temple, we walk through these doors strengthened and renewed. We feel a sense of purpose and gratitude. And we carry with us a deeper sense of God’s love for us.

The joyful sacredness and importance of the temple can be taught to and felt by the youngest of God’s children. Holiness to the Lord is not just a text on the outside of the temple, it is a condition of life promised by Heavenly Father that can be felt anywhere, at any time.

Currently, 87,000 missionaries are serving around the world, but “in coming weeks, we will have the largest number of full-time missionaries in the Church’s history,” President Dallin H. Oaks (@OaksDallinH) told new mission leaders at a training seminar on Saturday, June 20.

“You are called to lead missionaries at an historic time,” the President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said. “Missionary work is soaring to new heights.”

The increase is due to the first wave of 18-year-old sister missionaries beginning their service and to the addition of 55 new missions in July, bringing the total to 506. “What a group to lead,” he said.

“I want to convince you that this is a serious legal and political claim and not just a sentimental one. If you want to defend religious liberty, I want to argue that it’s far more important that you are a good Muslim, Jew, Christian or Buddhist — a good peacemaker — than that you are a good litigator."

You've seen it from the freeway your whole life — the white towers of the LDS San Diego California Temple rising beside Interstate 5. Most people who pass it have never been inside. But for a few weeks this summer, that changes: from June 18 through July 11, 2026, the temple is open to everyone, member or not, for free public tours — its first public access in a generation.

Religious freedom is the cornerstone of peace in a world with many competing philosophies.

We were privileged to represent The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the Canterbury Medal Gala hosted by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania—a fitting venue for celebrating religious liberty. I was honored to offer the invocation at this event.

Moral agency, the ability to choose right from wrong and to act for ourselves, is essential to God’s plan of salvation. Religious freedom ensures that people can exercise their agency in matters of faith.

We are grateful to be associated with so many wonderful people of faith who we stand with to advocate for religious freedom.

Visiting with missionaries in England recently was immensely nostalgic for me, as I also served as a young missionary in this wonderful country.  

Elder Clark G. Gilbert and I were so grateful to spend time with these amazing servants. I testify that missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints around the world are indeed the Lord’s emissaries.

Is artificial intelligence helping you grow, or quietly replacing your growth?

I invite you to join me at https://t.co/B5xFoUsTw6 on June 7 as we discuss how to hear God's voice in an age of artificial intelligence.

Something significant is happening. The Church is growing across nations, languages, and cultures at a remarkable pace and the leadership of the Church is beginning to reflect it.

I follow the 15 Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Men who strive to follow Jesus Christ and seek His guidance.

Their backgrounds are remarkably diverse: American businessmen, lawyers, doctors and educators, a German pilot, a Brazilian business executive, a British humanitarian, a French strategy and food distribution consultant, and a Chinese-American scholar. They bring different cultures, languages, experiences, and perspectives to their sacred calling.

The most recent apostles especially reflect the increasingly international nature of the Church as it continues to grow around the world. As membership expands across continents and some of the Church’s fastest growth occurs outside the United States, the Quorum is becoming more representative of the global Church it serves.

I believe this diversity strengthens the Quorum and helps them seek revelation to guide a worldwide Church in a rapidly changing world.

We may still be in the early chapters of what a truly global Church will look like.

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

Phones, watches, doorbells, cars, factories and energy grids are increasingly becoming connected, all collecting and communicating information to be interpreted, analyzed and acted upon.

Noting this trend, Elder Gerrit W. Gong (@GerritWGong)  of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles will discuss how to safely navigate artificial intelligence in a 60-minute gospel workshop video titled “Faith, Dignity and Human Flourishing: Hearing God’s Voice in an Age of Artificial Intelligence,” available on Sunday, June 7, 2026.

As I stand on Mars Hill where the Apostle Paul preached about the “unknown God,” I am reminded how grateful I am to know, as Paul said, that “in [God] we live, and move, and have our being” (Acts 17:28).

[Dallin H. Oaks @OaksDallinH]

I know beyond any certainty in my life that this is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, restored with the fullness of the gospel that God has chosen to reveal in this dispensation of the fullness of time and led by prophets to the present day. 

I respond with humility to the responsibility that God has placed upon me and commit my whole heart and soul to the service to which I’ve been called.

[Latter-day Truth @Latterdaytruth]

I spent 9 weeks in the Provo Missionary Training Center, and worked there for 2-1/2 years after my mission.

I can confidently say that the MTC is hallowed ground. The Spirit that resides there is palpable, and so inspiring.

I miss it.
