Saturday Morning Session
Russell Nelson
“We can store our own reserves of food, water and savings. But
equally crucial is our need to fill our personal spiritual
storehouses with faith, truth and testimony.”
“We are to seek, in every way we can, to hear Jesus Christ who
speaks to us through the power and ministering of the Holy
Ghost.”
“The most important lasting effects of this historic conference
will be as our hearts change and we commence a lifelong quest
to hear Him.”
Russel Ballard
“We should always remember the price Joseph and Hyrum Smith
paid, along with so many other faithful men, women and
children, to establish the Church so you and I could have and
enjoy the many blessings and all these revealed truths we have
today.”
“As we listen to the Spirit … consider what offering you will
present to the Lord in righteousness in the coming days. Be
courageous — share it with someone you trust and most
importantly, please take time to do it!”
“I know that the Savior is pleased when we present Him an
offering from our hearts in righteousness, just as He was
pleased with the faithful offering of those remarkable brothers,
Joseph and Hyrum Smith, and all other faithful saints.”
James Rasband
“Would Alma truly have felt what he describes as ‘exquisite …
joy’ if he thought that Christ saved him but left forever harmed
those he had led away from the truth? Surely not. For Alma to
feel complete peace, those he harmed also needed the
opportunity to be made whole.”
“Although we do not fully understand the sacred mechanics by
which the Savior’s atoning sacrifice heals and restores, we do
know, that to ensure a righteous judgment, the Savior will clear
away the underbrush of ignorance and the painful thorns of hurt
caused by others. By this He assures that all God’s children will
be given the opportunity, with unobscured vision, to choose to
follow Him and accept the great plan of happiness.”
“The magnificent, peace-giving promise of the Book of Mormon
and the restored gospel is that the Savior will mend all that we
have broken. And He will also mend us if we turn to Him in faith
and repent of the harm we have caused.”

“As we study the coming forth of this holy book of scripture in
these latter days, we come to realize that the entire undertaking
was miraculous.”
“The historical facts and the special witnesses of the Book of
Mormon testify that its coming forth was indeed miraculous.
Nevertheless, the power of this book is not based only in its
magnificent history but on its powerful, unparalleled message
that has changed countless lives — including mine.”
“My testimony of the Book of Mormon came line upon line as a
miracle to my heart. To this day, this testimony continues to
grow as I continuously search, with a sincere heart, to more fully
understand the word of God as contained in this extraordinary
book of scripture.”
John Mccune
“Even in our deepest trials, we can feel the warm embrace of His
love as we trust Him and accept His will. We can experience the
joy reserved for His faithful disciples, for Christ is joy.”
“As we remain focused on Christ, we will feel peace and see
God’s miracles, whatever they may be, in His time and in His
way.”
“Our ability to help others come unto Christ or return to Christ
will largely be determined by the example we set through our
own personal commitment to stay on the covenant path.”
Gerald Causse
“Plain and precious truths about the Savior’s Atonement
resound throughout the Book of Mormon.”
“The central message of the Book of Mormon is to restore the
true knowledge of the essential role of Jesus Christ in the
salvation and exaltation of mankind.”
“As you study this book, you will hear the voice of the living
Christ inviting you to come unto Him.”
Dale Renlund
Gary Stevenson
“How could this extensive renewal of the Salt Lake Temple
inspire us to undergo our own spiritual — renewal,
reconstruction, rebirth, revitalization or restoration?”
“I don’t think we can overstate the importance of such a firm
foundation in our personal lives.”
“During these coming years, may we allow these improvements
made to the Salt Lake Temple to move and inspire us, as
individuals and families, so that we too — metaphorically — will
‘be built in a manner that will endure the millennium.’ ”
Sat Evening
Geritt Gong
“In hosanna and hallelujah we recognize the living Jesus Christ
as the heart of Easter and latter-day Restoration.”
“In celebrating the ongoing Restoration of the gospel of Jesus
Christ, we also prepare for Easter. In both, we rejoice in the
return of Jesus Christ.”
“Today we celebrate Restoration and resurrection. With you, I
rejoice in the ongoing Restoration of the fulness of the gospel of
Jesus Christ.”
Henry Eyring
Dallin Oaks
“The priesthood is a divine power and authority held in trust to
be used for God’s work for the benefit of all of His children.”
“The family organization and the Church of Jesus Christ have a
mutually reinforcing relationship. The blessings of the
priesthood, such as the fulness of the gospel and ordinances
like baptism, confirmation and receiving the gift of the Holy
Ghost, the temple endowment, and eternal marriage, are
available to men and women alike.”
“We should follow the Savior’s invitation to seek and ask to
understand the truths of eternity. He promises that our Father in
Heaven is willing to teach everyone the truths they seek.”
Russell Nelson
The Church’s prime purpose “is to help men, women and
children follow the Lord Jesus Christ, keep His commandments,
and qualify for the greatest of all blessings — that of eternal life
with God and their loved ones.”
A new, Christ-centered symbol “will remind all that this is the
Savior’s Church and that all we do, as members of His Church,
centers on Jesus Christ and His gospel.”
“I am calling for another worldwide fast. For all whose health
may permit, let us fast, pray and unite our faith once again. Let
us prayerfully plead for relief from this global pandemic.”
