Six members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles led devotionals for Latter-day Saint young adults in different areas across the globe on Sunday, Jan. 9.
The devotionals featured counsel geared toward members ages 18-30, both married and single.
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Elder Quentin L. Cook, Elder D. Todd Christofferson, Elder Neil L. Andersen, Elder Ronald A. Rasband and Elder Dale G. Renlund streamed independent messages to different areas of the world representing all six major continents.
Close to a year ago, Church leaders presented a similar series of devotionals targeted to young adults worldwide; however, those were scheduled on various days through a two-month span. This year’s devotional blitz will be condensed into one day.
In some cases the Apostles were accompanied by their wives, other general authorities or general Church leaders.
Messages are available in 32 languages, from Tagalog to Finnish, on YouTube or the Church’s Live Broadcast web page, ChurchofJesusChrist.org/broadcasts.
Below is a list of summaries of the devotionals.
