"The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints condemns horrific acts of violence worldwide, including the recent assassination in Utah. We affirm our repeated calls to seek peace and unity despite our differences. Jesus Christ teaches us to love one another, that hate is wrong and that human life is sacred. We urge all to reject violence and instead build understanding. Recognizing that we are all children of God, we must treat one another with more dignity, compassion and respect. As we mourn with those who have experienced loss and care for those living in fear or conflict, we call upon people everywhere to build communities of greater kindness and love." — The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

My heart is filled with sorrow.

I had some nice dialogue with Charlie, he instantly felt like an older much wiser brother even though he was younger than me. He was always trying to include me to come speak at his events.

I don’t think he knew how hard public speaking is for me. My whole body shakes, my mind goes into survival mode & my voice quivers. I much prefer writing, fighting, acting & interviews in intimate settings. But alas, Charlie did find out how hard public speaking is for me in Vegas last year.

I had originally just wanted to support Tulsi who was doing an event with the Common Kings in Vegas. I wanted to support her & be there for her, maybe just announce her or be backstage with her. Then Turning Point got involved & before you knew it, rumors that President Trump would be speaking swirled and came true.

Of course I tried to back out once I realized they wanted me to speak. But Tulsi wasn’t having it. She gently encouraged me. So I decided to just write out my speech on paper & read it.

The night came & I had missed my spot in the speaking line up because I was back stage taking a picture with President Trump who had 100’s of people he was taking pictures with before he went on to speak.

I ran back to the stage & there were only Charlie & Tulsi left to speak before Trump would take the stage. I had the 6 pages in my hands, the lady on the stage seemed rushed & I looked at Charlie and said, “No it’s ok, I’m not good at public speaking, don’t worry about me.” He calmly looked at me & said, “Gina, they hear from me all the time, they need to hear from you. How many pages do you have?” I told him 6. The lady on the stage said, “Do you think you could keep it to 3 minutes please?” But Charlie kept eye contact with me & said, “Take my time, go out there & say what you need to say.”
He gave me so much strength in that moment, my body shaking, I went out & summed up my 6 page speech to whatever I could muster. I was so proud I did it. It was short & sweet, the pages went out the window. I wanted to do it for my hometown, in front of my family, for my country. I felt I needed to & Charlie made sure I did.

As soon as I walked behind the curtain I collapsed into Charlie’s chest. He held me for a few moments as I stabilized & then he walked out to give his speech. The lady who helped me off stage said, “oh my gosh you’re shaking!”

I went back to my seat & sat with my mom & dad who were beaming with pride, I was still shaking. People patted me on my back & gave me hugs, the whole crowd knew I was nervous but it was ok. They cheered me on louder than most of the other speakers my dad said but of course he’d say that. ☺️ Sure felt that way. The audience saw my vulnerability & rooted for me. That was the atmosphere of this lovely crowd of people. And that was who Charlie was. He helped me conquer something that day. And since then I have gotten better when a microphone is handed to me.

Charlie helped so many find their voices. He put the microphone in people’s hands, to be heard, to ask questions, to learn how to communicate. He was teaching us how to communicate.

I am in complete awe of his bravery. He could’ve easily just stayed comfortable & been with his wife & children right now but he saw the need of keeping dialogue going & he risked his life everytime he went out there.

He was a graceful genius with a heart for the Lord and he followed his calling.

I am so happy Charlie is with the Lord now. He truly was the best of us & without a doubt the bravest. They took his body but they cannot take his spirit. I mourn for his wife, children & loved ones with my full heart & soul. God be with them.

I am struggling with positivity as evil is rearing its ugly head. If I wasn’t so exhausted from sorrow I would be more enraged. My head is torturing me on repeat as I see Charlie shot & the blood gushing. All I can do right now is pray for justice & peace.
God bless you Charlie Kirk. We will not forget you. ✝️

If you wait for sorrow to end before you experience joy, you might miss joy completely. Experiencing a measure of sorrow may enable your heart and mind to receive pure heavenly joy!

One day, all of God’s children will kneel and confess that Jesus is the Christ, the Redeemer, the Savior of the world. They will know that He died for them.

On that day it will be clear that His is the only voice that ever really mattered.

[David A. Bednar @BednarDavidA]

Two thousand years separate us from the Apostle Paul, but the message taught today by modern-day Apostles remains the same: Jesus Christ lives.

The organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, led by prophets and apostles, ensures that the teachings of Jesus Christ are being actively shared with God's children—just as it was in ancient times.

With all the energy of my soul, I witness that the resurrected and living Christ directs the affairs of His restored and living Church through His servants who have been chosen to bear testimony of His name.

Because Jesus Christ broke the bands of death, every one of Heavenly Father’s children will rise again in a perfected, resurrected body that will never die. This sure promise can turn the sorrow of losing a loved one into hope, filling our hearts with peace and a joyful anticipation of reunion.

President Trump met with eight released hostages from Gaza, listening to their heartbreaking stories. They expressed gratitude for his unwavering efforts to bring them & others home.

Hamas' actions have inflicted immense suffering, AND THEIR REIGN OF TERROR MUST BE STOPPED.🇺🇸🇮🇱

[Neil L. Andersen @AndersenNeilL]

Imagine reading these words for the first time:

“I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them” (1 Nephi 3:7).

Can you see and feel how powerful they are?

These words—and thousands of others like them in the Book of Mormon—have gone into my heart like a fire. I know they are true. I know they were spoken by a real individual whose name was Nephi.

The truth of the Book of Mormon stands next to the truth of the Bible in assuring us that Jesus is the Christ. Now, in my 74th year, I love it more than ever.

I hope you can try to remember those feelings you had as you have read this book. The Book of Mormon is the physical manifestation of the truthfulness of the Restoration and of the divine mission of the Prophet Joseph Smith.

Through the power of the Holy Ghost—the truthfulness of the voice of the Spirit—I know that God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, appeared to the young Joseph. He was and is a prophet of God, called to restore the gospel and prepare a people to prepare for the return of our Savior Jesus Christ.

He is who we claim him to be. I witness as he did that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.

[Russell M. Nelson @NelsonRussellM]

My dear friends, I have always found so much joy in the beautiful Christmas hymns that testify of Jesus Christ’s sacred birth and divine mission.

Whether your voice is young or old, we can all join the angels who sang rejoicing on that “silent night” so long ago, even as we look forward to the day He will come again.

I love you all and wish you “heavenly peace,” not only at Christmas but every day as we strive to walk the path of discipleship.
