Our sacred duty is to accept and welcome new and returning members. As the Lord hastens His work, we should love, nurture, and serve those who accept His gospel. We can help build a Zion people where we are “of one heart and one mind, and [dwell] in righteousness…” To be…

This picture is from the day that Mary and I were married—nearly 63 years ago. It is the greatest blessing of my life to be with Mary. She has blessed our family with direction from the Lord during each stage of our lives together. When a man and woman are sealed in the temple,…

President Russell M. Nelson’s direction and guidance has always been so profound because he is always doing what the Lord is giving him the guidance and direction to do. Whether it is announcing new temples, building relationships with others, or moving missionary work…

I’m standing in the park in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where Elder Melvin J. Ballard dedicated all of South America for the preaching of the gospel. President M. Russell Ballard loved this spot where his grandfather had, in such a beautiful way, extended the dedication for all of…


What a wonderful opportunity it is to be in Argentina with the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in South America. I pray that we will stay in tune with the music of faith and live our lives…


I had the wonderful opportunity to meet with President Javier Milei, the President of Argentina, today, August 20, 2025. It was a remarkable meeting that could not have been more friendly, warm, and engaging. We talked about many topics, which include the 100th anniversary of…

The Lord is hastening His work. Jesus Christ guides His Church in these latter days.


One of the most foundational truths God has given us for our lives on earth is that He is our Heavenly Father. We are His spirit sons and daughters. He knows us personally and loves us perfectly. The Prophet Joseph Smith taught that Heavenly Father, “the Great Parent of the…

The spiritual conditions necessary to proceed along the covenant pathway all relate to the heart. The scriptures refer favorably to hearts that are changed, broken, healed, and turned, and hearts full of love, gratitude, joy, and peace. “And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with…


The Lord asks each one of us to share His gospel in word and deed. To assist us in our effort to share the gospel of Jesus Christ, I offer three guiding principles: First, focus on the purpose and doctrine of Jesus Christ. He “is the way; and there is none other way nor name…

As part of a recent visit to Oxford, England, I sat down with my friend Mark Wrathall, a professor and fellow at Corpus Christi College. We had a fascinating conversation about the translation of the King James Version of the Bible and its significance to our faith.


How blessed we are to live in a time when love and compassion endure! I recently had the opportunity to tour one of four depots of The Felix Project in London and observe their volunteers transform surplus food into millions of meals each year for those who need it most.


My mother was a profound example to me of trusting in the Lord during hard times. Many of you will likely be thinking about your mothers in connection with Mother’s Day in the United States this weekend. When I was nearly five years old, my mother received word that her younger…
