Summary points:

Talk summary:

With gratitude to the Lord for inspired conference messages that have instructed and edified, “seek to learn what the Lord is trying to teach you through His servants.”

Conference has been a spiritual feast for all. “We hope and pray that each member’s home will become a true sanctuary of faith, where the Spirit of the Lord may dwell. Despite contention all around us, one’s home can become a heavenly place, where study, prayer, and faith can be merged with love. …”

“God’s objective should be our objective. He wants His children to choose to return to Him, prepared, qualified, endowed, sealed and faithful to covenants made in holy temples.”

Utah’s “pioneer temples” in Utah will undergo renovation, followed by rededication. Details for the Salt Lake Temple and Temple Square will be announced on April 19; plans for the St. George temple were previously announced. Details for the Logan and Manti temples will come later.

New temples are to be built in Pago Pago, American Samoa; Okinawa City, Okinawa; Neiafu, Tonga; Tooele Valley, Utah; Moses Lake, Washington; San Pedro Sula, Honduras; Antofagasta, Chile; and Budapest, Hungary.

Individuals' actions signify they are true disciples of Christ as they work to renovate their lives through faith in Christ and access the power of His Atonement through daily repentance and dedication to serving God and His children on both sides of the veil.

“I leave my love and blessing with you, assuring you that revelation continues in this the Lord’s Church.”
