One of my favorite quotes tying The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to America is not actually from an American scholar, but a Russian one.
Legendary author Leo Tolstoy called Mormonism “the American religion.”
He said, “The Mormon people teach the American religion; their principles teach the people not only of Heaven and its attendant glories, but how to live so that their social and economic relations with each other are placed on a sound basis. If the people follow the teachings of this Church, nothing can stop their progress — it will be limitless. There have been great movements started in the past but they have died or been modified before they reached maturity. If Mormonism is able to endure, unmodified, until it reaches the third and fourth generation, it is destined to become the greatest power the world has ever known.”
Marking 100 years since The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square’s first performance at the Hollywood Bowl in 1926, this historic return united music and humanitarian purpose in a celebratory concert benefitting women and children around the world.
One hundred percent of ticket sales revenue from the concert will be donated to CARE, Helen Keller Intl, and The Hunger Project. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will match the revenue from concert ticket sales, thereby doubling the charitable contributions associated with the event.

I have today signed the NIMC Act 2026 into law.
For nearly twenty years, Nigeria’s identity system operated under a law written for a different era. That era is over.
This new Act gives our nation a modern, secure and digital identity framework fit for the Nigeria we are building, a Nigeria on the path to becoming a one-trillion-dollar economy.
In 2022, David Dixon was part of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ original Tabernacle Mission — missionaries would set up a traveling Old Testament tabernacle replica complete with tour guides and a visitors’ center across the Southwest.
When the temporary mission officially ended the following year, requests still came in from stakes in Texas, Colorado, Arizona and more. Without the resources of the mission, one setup could cost up to $30,000.
“And so I started thinking, how could we make this more available so it doesn’t just sit in a trailer all the time?” asked Dixon. “I just had this idea that maybe we could do it inside the building, and it could be much simpler, lighter weight, and could go to any stake center where people wanted it.”

GOOGLE CEO SUNDAR PICHAI: "IF YOU DON'T LEARN HOW TO ORCHESTRATE AGENTS NOW, YOU'LL SPEND 2027 CATCHING UP TO PEOPLE WHO STARTED TODAY."
30 minutes on why the best engineers stopped writing code line by line and started orchestrating agents instead.
Most people think building an agent requires an engineering degree.

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.
