We had a heavenly experience this week on the border of the Dominican Republic and Haiti, meeting with 114 faithful missionaries from Haiti.
Missionaries in Haiti have not had the opportunity to meet with a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles for many years—certainly more than a decade.
It was my sacred privilege to personally convey the love, gratitude, and admiration of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles for these amazing disciples of Jesus Christ.
Their devotion to the Savior and His work is inspiring to witness.

Today, September 1, is the 125th anniversary of the dedication of country of Japan for the preaching of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.
This weekend, I was grateful to speak at a special nationwide broadcast from a meetinghouse in Yokohama, Japan near the site where the dedication occurred.
The message I shared at the broadcast is the same message that has been preached to millions of people across the globe—that Jesus Christ loves you and what He did through His Atonement is for you, a beloved child of your Heavenly Father.
The Living Christ: Of the many significant names of the Savior, I am so inspired by the title “the Living Christ.” As one of the “special witnesses of the name of Christ in all the world” (Doctrine and Covenants 107:23) it is a special privilege for me to bear my testimony of the Savior for the first time here in Ghana as an Apostle of Jesus Christ.
I am so grateful to know that I can have a personal relationship with God. He knows us. He is interested in us. He loves us. This fundamental truth has been a great blessing in my life.
Because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, you and I can be cleansed of our sins and have our natures transformed.
I shared with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Korea that the Savior blesses each of us as we exercise faith in Him, repent, receive the covenants and ordinances of the gospel, and do our best to become better—with God’s help—every day.
