@OaksDallinH With gratitude, I sustain our new First Presidency.

@SenatorRomney @jaketapper Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for your public service. I hope we will still see you doing great things locally in Utah. Best wishes during this season of reflection.

@SecretCityChez I personally, have no problem with sharing our building with others. I don't mind temporary covering of the paintings, or even temporary moving them. Although we dedicate our buildings, we do not worship our buildings. They are just the box that holds the pearl.

[Sam LeFevre @SamLeFevre57]

@The_RJ006 @SecretCityChez Many years ago, when I was a young priest, our church building burned to the ground. Many other faiths opened up their facilities to us to worship. Some even made the effort to rearrange their space to accommodate our services better. Did they do wrong?

@the_churchnews I love serving as an ordinance worker in the Bountiful Temple. The dedicatory prayer is very instructive and worth reviewing.

[Sam LeFevre @SamLeFevre57]

@Ch_JesusChrist This is exciting. I'm so impressed with your faithful young people. I loved my mission and am looking forward to starting our third service mission in January.

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are frequently asked, “How is your Church different from other Christian churches?”

Among the answers we give are the fulness of the doctrine of Jesus Christ. Foremost among that doctrine is the fact that our Father in Heaven loves all His children so much that He wants us all to live in a kingdom of glory forever.

All the children of God will ultimately inherit one of three kingdoms of glory, even the least of which “surpasses all understanding” (Doctrine and Covenants 76:89).

Another unique doctrine of the restored Church is the revealed commandments and covenants that offer all the children of God the sacred privilege of qualifying for the highest degree of glory in the celestial kingdom.

God’s plan requires that exaltation can be attained only through faithfulness to the covenants of an eternal marriage between a man and a woman in the holy temple, which marriage will ultimately be available to all the faithful. That is why we teach that “gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose” (The Family: A Proclamation to the World).

Those who do not fully understand the Father’s loving plan for His children may consider the Family Proclamation no more than a changeable statement of policy. In contrast, we affirm that the Family Proclamation, founded on irrevocable doctrine, defines the mortal family relationship where the most important part of our eternal development can occur.

We qualify for eternal life through a process of conversion. As used here, this word of many meanings signifies a profound change of nature. It is not enough for anyone just to go through the motions. The commandments, ordinances, and covenants of the gospel are not a list of deposits required to be made in some heavenly account. The gospel of Jesus Christ is a plan that shows us how to become what our Heavenly Father desires us to become.

Because of Jesus Christ and His Atonement, when we fall short in this life, we can repent and rejoin the covenant path that leads to what our Heavenly Father desires for us. #GeneralConference

@BednarDavidA I love the temples and temple covenants.

[Sam LeFevre @SamLeFevre57]

@GerritWGong I really enjoyed this talk.

[Sam LeFevre @SamLeFevre57]

@BednarDavidA I am grateful for the hope through faith that is possible because of the Savior's resurrection. With that hope, life is full of joy and anticipation for a brighter future. I am grateful for the additional witness or the resurrected Lord found in the Book of Mormon.

[Sam LeFevre @SamLeFevre57]

@Ch_JesusChrist I am grateful that the Church is in a position to help so many. Thank you.

[Sam LeFevre @SamLeFevre57]

@GerritWGong I love the temples. I love going to the temples to serve the Savior and our Heavenly Father's Children.

[Sam LeFevre @SamLeFevre57]

@ChristoffDTodd I love the Book of Mormon. I am so grateful for the Prophet Joseph Smith and the Restoration that brought us the Book of Mormon.

[Sam LeFevre @SamLeFevre57]

@the_churchnews @ChristoffDTodd I love the Book of Mormon. I love studying it. I love learning from it. I am so grateful we have it.

[Sam LeFevre @SamLeFevre57]

@UchtdorfDF Sister LeFevre and I celebrated our 40th a few days later on the 21st by doing sealings in the Jordan River Temple. We have had quite an adventure. Congratulations on your 60th.

[Sam LeFevre @SamLeFevre57]

@Ch_JesusChrist This is interesting. I am grateful for the Prophet Joseph Smith and for restoration.
