A missionary once asked him, “Elder Holland, would you give your life for the Church?”
He said, “Elder, I am giving my life for the Church. Every day. Because it is true.”
I grieve the passing of President Jeffrey R. Holland. Our relationship in education and Church service began more than 50 years ago. It was a long and loving relationship in the work of the Lord.
During my service as President of Brigham Young University, I had the privilege of inviting him—then a young scholar in his early 30s—to serve as Dean of Religious Education.
From the beginning, his influence strengthened the university’s sacred mission to unite spiritual purpose with academic excellence.
Over the last three decades as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, he lifted the weary, encouraged the faithful, and bore a powerful witness of the Savior—even through seasons of significant personal trials.
We honor his unwavering devotion, his steadfast witness of the Savior, and his inspired ability to strengthen faith and deepen understanding.
We thank our Father in Heaven for the blessing of shared service and for our united witness that Jesus Christ lives and directs His Church today.
When you act with faith to offer the gospel and peace to those around you, the light that will come to them will be more than your example and more than your words. They will feel the light of the Savior, and it will have drawn them to Him.
@TheRealJGuts@MLB I love listening to @RealMichaelKay@PaulONeillYES because they always have fun stories to tell and you can tell they have a great time. It makes watching baseball at home enjoyable!!
I testify that God is our Father. Jesus is the Christ. His Church has been restored to the earth. His truth, covenants, and ordinances enable us to overcome fear and face the future with faith!

To me, by far the funniest moment of the night, that I haven’t seen anyone talking about, is when @jtoolgoinham didn't have anyone to give him a high-five after his free throw so he got one from the Zags 😆 never seen that before! 😂

When we face challenges and afflictions, we may feel discouraged or perhaps forgotten.
In the midst of your tribulations, you can find the peace that you need through the serene power of prayer. Heavenly Father hears your prayers.
