Highlights from the 189th Semiannual General Conference
Church leaders who spoke during general conference extended over and over the invitation to become—to become happier, to become holier, to become more like the Savior, and to help others do the same.
What’s more, they made that change seem within reach for each of us.
“The Lord wants all His children to partake of the eternal blessings available in His temple,” President Russell M. Nelson taught. “… Individual worthiness to enter the Lord’s house requires much individual spiritual preparation. But with the Lord’s help, nothing is impossible.”

President Nelson invited each of us to qualify for the blessings of the temple (see page 120).
President Henry B. Eyring explained the connection between increasing holiness and increasing happiness (see page 100).
Elder D. Todd Christofferson taught us how to find “the joy of the saints” (see page 15).
An Invitation to Love and Share
President Nelson taught the importance of loving our neighbor and detailed the far-reaching humanitarian work of the Church (see page 96).
