This Easter Sunday coincides with the magnificent vision of the Savior that occurred in the Kirtland Temple on Easter Sunday of 1836—190 years ago.
The role of Elijah in restoring the priesthood keys of the sealing power is crucial in our journey of returning to our Father as a covenant people.
The sealing ordinances are effective after this life and in the eternities—to seal husbands and wives, parents and children.
I promise to you on this Easter day that as you adhere to His ordinances, covenants, and commandments, you will grow closer in your relationship with our Savior as well as your appreciation and gratitude for the sealing keys that have been restored in this dispensation.
I testify of the Savior’s Atonement and Resurrection and rejoice with you on this special Easter Sunday for all that He has accomplished that we might have eternal life.

“As followers of Christ, let us 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.” — @OaksDallinH | #GeneralConference
Notice where Jesus was when Peter accepted the invitation that seemed too big. He was in the water with Peter, within reaching distance. As you accept the Lord’s invitations, the same will be true for you. #SisterFreeman#GeneralConference
“Whether we are facing a deep, Jonah-like catastrophe, or the every-day challenges of our imperfect world, the invitation is the same, forsake not your own mercy.” — Elder Matthew S. Holland | #GeneralConference
The means of how the #BookofMormon came to be can sound a bit like the “spit and dirt” of John 9. Yet it also has helped the blind (spiritually) to see. #GeneralConference#elderholland
Elder Andersen addresses the pain of families and friends of Church members killed in Michigan, acknowledging that he cannot say how long their pain will endure, but assuring them that peace can come. Hard things. Soberingly tragic things. #GeneralConference
@corbinallred@halvtredsere I think in Apr 2018 @StevensonGaryE spoke of this - "This sustaining was followed by the Quorum of the Twelve gathering in a circle and placing hands upon the head of President Nelson to ordain and set him apart, with the next most-senior Apostle acting as voice."
We tend to think that baptism is our one shot at a new beginning. But these new beginnings can happen everyday and certainly every week with the sacrament. The Savior died with the express purpose of giving us as many new beginnings as we need. @PatrickKearon#GeneralConference
"If the Savior is the great connector, then Satan is the great separator"
I feel this, especially this week. Satan is trying to divide us across every possible line. Christ is trying to bring us together.
