We love you.

Thanks for being here. We travel the world, and we have a number of different audiences.

We love to be with the members of the Church,

to visit with those who are not of our faith. We strive to be disciples of Christ.

Mucho gusto. I find it especially enjoyable to visit with government leaders.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints is a global faith.

It's interesting to see their surprise and to know how we can then collaborate and work together.

We have divine characteristics.

What a lovely family.

The Lord’s math is simple: uno por uno.

What initially appears to be incredibly inefficient, I think is the ultimate in the Lord’s efficiency.

I learned a very simple truth, but that came to me differently.

We need to know that the most important things to be done in life are done in the Savior's way, one by one.

Does this mean I'm adopted?

[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]

[SPEAKING IN SPANISH] La casa del Señor is coming. Now you’re all waiting, Oh! Elder Bednar is going to tell us where it's going to be. No I'm not. Stay tuned.

The Church is well established here.

The Church has a strong, positive reputation. We're not going in for the first time to say this is who we are. We're able to emphasize the things we've done to work together.

Let's strengthen that as we go forward.

Some would say, but there’s so much to do.

[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]

We thank you for this opportunity to work and serve together. Because we all love God.

[SINGING IN SPANISH]

[SPEAKING IN SPANISH]

If you don't put God first, what would you put first?

And the question is where would that lead?

I testify that the Holy Ghost is real. He's a teacher, a comforter, and so much more.

What topic do you think would help the young people? We just wanted to talk with you.

Please don't feel awkward

This is the most beautiful sound there is.

Oh, it's great to have you here. Thank you. So let me ask each of you a question. What blessings have come to you from your service? They're just remarkable women of honor and strength and goodness.

And that all comes from the atoning sacrifice of our Savior, Jesus Christ. And in the strength of the Lord, they know that they can do all things.

Oh, these are the beautiful girls that were smiling at me.

Susan has left a trail of warm embraces, smiles, and kisses on the cheek all over the world.

What a blessing to be here with all of you.

This is the first time a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles has been here with you. We’re making history.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

I've been doing this for 20 years.

And to watch the hand of the Lord operate in opening doors,

providing opportunities. The Lord is able to do His own work, and we have to make sure that we’re ready to adapt to His will and His timing and get it done His way.

We are remarkably blessed as a couple to see the influence of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ all over the world.

It fills me with such gratitude for what we have, what we know, and what it helps us to do and become.

I'm not sure we should be having this much fun.
