[MUSIC PLAYING] I give you my
witness that Jesus is the Christ, that He guides the
affairs of this sacred work, and that general
conference is one of the very important times He
gives direction to His Church and to us personally. I promise you that as
you prepare your spirit and come with the
anticipation that you will hear the voice of the
Lord, thoughts and feelings will come into your mind that
are customized especially for you. Through the incessant din
and drumbeat of our day, may we strive to seek Christ
at the center of our lives, of our faith, and
of our service. That is where true meaning lies. Welcome to general conference. Watch or listen to
general conference at ChurchofJesusChrist.org,
on the Church YouTube channel, on the Gospel Library app,
BYU TV, the Latter-day Saints Channel, or via Gospel Voice. I promise that as you
hear the voice of the Lord to you in the teachings
of this general conference and then act on
those promptings, you will feel heaven's
hand upon you, and your life and the
lives of those around you will be blessed. I exhort you to study the
messages of this conference frequently. Conscientiously look for ways
to incorporate these messages in your family home evenings,
your gospel teaching, your conversations with
family and friends, and even your discussions
with those not of our faith. As you study them,
seek to learn what the Lord is trying to teach
you through His servants. [MUSIC PLAYING]
