When has a friend, teacher, family member, or another person in your life been an example of a light on the hill to you?
The Savior has invited us to “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16).
I love meeting disciples of Jesus Christ around the world. You reflect the Savior’s light in your countenance and inspire more people than you may ever know.
I look forward to being with our exceptional disciples of Christ across the globe at the Worldwide Devotional for Young Adults on November 1 and discussing how we can center our thoughts on Jesus Christ and His hopeful, ever-shining light.

A Mis Queridos Amigos Hispanos: Hispanic youth in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have a critical role ahead of them in building the future of the Lord’s Church.
I recently spoke with a congregation of predominantly Hispanic youth in the United States Central Area. The broadcast originated with 500 youth in Chicago, but was broadcast to over 2,000 youth across the entire area.
My message included a direct invitation in both Spanish and English for these young people to prepare to serve missions and prepare to receive further education.
During our time together, I asked two future missionaries to join me at the pulpit. I gave them each my contact card, invited both to email me directly once their mission papers were submitted, and promised that I would look for their names during my turn to assign missionaries in the future.
I felt deeply impressed that the Lord knows His children individually, and that He wants all to fully participate in these foundational experiences in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I shared an apostolic invitation and promised blessings from serving missions and pursuing education. These invitations are for the youth across the entire Church, but it felt significant to emphasize them in these communities at this important time of the Church.

All that we do in the temple is tied directly to the Lord Jesus Christ. Here we can become more holy, more like the Savior.
As a new Apostle of the Lord in 2017, I was grateful to visit this wonderful country. Sister Rasband and I were overjoyed to return this weekend as I fulfilled an assignment from the First Presidency to dedicate the Managua Nicaragua Temple.
Attending the temple is a deeply personal experience. One by one we present ourselves at the entrance and are invited into the Lord’s house.
One by one we receive ordinances and make covenants. One by one we may feel lifted, reminded, and renewed in our spiritual journey, receiving greater hope, and strength from the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
Go often to the temple, let its light bless your whole life.
As an Apostle of Jesus Christ called to testify of Him and His name in all the world, I bear my solemn witness that He lives, and is directing the work of the ongoing Restoration.
Stay close to Him, and show your love by spending time in His hallowed house.

The first guy to storm the field after the final play was none other than Steve Young. #BYUvsNotreDame

One of the great blessings of dedicated temples is the promise of closer communion with Heavenly Father, the Savior, and those we love who are in the spirit world.
I am grateful and honored to have been asked by President Dallin H. Oaks to dedicate the beautiful and sacred Montpelier Idaho Temple.
Temples are evidence that God is a God of covenants and that His plan reaches beyond mortality into eternity. The temple provides purpose for our lives. It brings peace to our souls. It allows us to reach through the veil of death and across generations to allow the Lord to unite families in the joy of eternal life.
My prayer is that we may feel, in the house of God, Heavenly Father's love for His children and of His desire to bring us back into His presence.

To my Notre Dame friends and fans—thank you for putting up with all the insufferable BYU fans today (me included). Please take it as the greatest sign of respect how much this win meant to all of us. You are the big brother and the gold standard. Visiting South Bend last year was a dream come true—a true football cathedral. Football fans everywhere aspire to earn the arrogance that you have earned (and I mean that with admiration and respect). You have an incredible coach and team, so please win out. We will be cheering for you the rest of the way.
Oh, and sorry about not getting one last play. I would have enjoyed watching Carr sail another pass over his receiver…(am I doing it right?😂)

No one thought BYU could run the ball last night without LJ Martin.
Yet Preston Rex finished with 66 yards on 10 carries against college football’s top-ranked run defense.
He’s a true unsung hero from last night. Another highlight for the Rex family’s rich BYU tradition.

All of us can receive divine direction for our lives.
If you are doing your best to honor the covenants you have made with your Heavenly Father, you can act in faith knowing that you will receive His guidance in your life.
I was pleased to share my thoughts on this during a conversation with the director of social media for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during my time at BYU-Idaho last week.

BYU SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN LEFT OUT OF THE PLAYOFF LAST YEAR.
BYU SHOULDN’T BE LEFT OUT OF THE CHRISTIAN CONVERSATION.
BYU SHOULDN’T BE DISRESPECTED FOR THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.
BYU SHOULDN’T BE LOOKED DOWN ON BY ANYONE.
BYU SHOULD BE THE #1 TEAM IN THE COUNTRY.
GOD’S PLAN!
