Today marks 37 years since the Berlin Wall fell on November 9, 1989.
I remember when people from each side of the wall began to meet each other. We discovered that despite our differences, we shared many of the same hopes, dreams, and aspirations for our lives. We looked toward the future with a spirit of reconciliation rather than choosing to dwell on the past during those years. By focusing on what united us rather than what divided us, Germany experienced the miracle of unity.
There is great need for that same unity in our relationships today. The more we desire to build bridges instead of walls, the more our individual lives, our families, our communities, and our nations will experience God’s presence and supernal blessings.
The Savior Jesus Christ transcended worldly boundaries and divisions. As Paul said, He “[broke] down the middle wall of partition between us” (Ephesians 2:14).
Jesus Christ has the power to change us—you and me purify us, and unite us. The closer we come to Him, the closer we will come to each other—and the closer we will come to the unity He wants for us.

"The Prophet Joseph Smith declared, 'After all that has been said, the greatest and most important duty is to preach the Gospel.'
Some of you here today will yet remember the words of President David O. McKay, who phrased the familiar 'Every member a missionary!' To their words I add my own.
Now is the time for members and missionaries to come together, to work together, to labor in the Lord’s vineyard to bring souls unto Him.
He has prepared the means for us to share the gospel in a multitude of ways, and He will assist us in our labors if we will act in faith to fulfill His work."

The concrete structural frame of the Cape Town South Africa Temple continues to advance, with the central tower now extending prominently above the roofline. Scaffolding surrounds the structure where work progresses on this rising architectural feature. Around the building, masonry walls are being constructed to retain soil and establish the contours of the temple grounds. The temple has been under construction for just over one year.

“When men and women go to the temple, they are both endowed with the same power, which by definition is priesthood power.
While the authority of the priesthood is directed through priesthood keys, and priesthood keys are held only by worthy men, access to the power and blessings of the priesthood is available to all of God’s children.

A large crane is being used to position sections of the framework for the tall central tower of the João Pessoa Brazil Temple. The main portion of the building is progressing, with its exterior walls and arched entryways becoming more defined. In the foreground, concrete columns are extending above the foundation for an ancillary building. The temple's construction site is situated near the coastline, with views of the Atlantic Ocean beyond the surrounding cityscape.

Can you and I overcome the propensities of the natural man or woman through willpower and goal setting and determination and discipline?
No.
We learn in the Book of Mormon that the Savior is at the center of our transformation:
“For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint THROUGH the Atonement of Christ the Lord” (Mosiah 3:19).

I recognize that many of you face significant challenges and uncertainties that cause stress, anxiety, and heartache. I pray for you. I love you.
I am thankful that social media allows me to provide you with encouragement, direction, and a reminder of eternal truths.
Please remember this: whatever difficulties you may be experiencing, Jesus Christ is the way to joy and peace.
People who subscribe to the doctrine of the gospel of Jesus Christ find that it makes their lives happier, more significant, and more resistant to the difficulties we all experience.
You have a Heavenly Father who has provided a plan for you. Trust in Him. With His help, you can find peace despite the trials and obstacles of mortality.
With love,
President Oaks

Work is advancing on the basement level of the Heber Valley Utah Temple, where the concrete walls are nearing completion. Moisture sealing is being applied to the exterior surfaces to protect the structure from water intrusion. Inside the basement, electrical conduits and plumbing pipes have been installed beneath the future floor slab, while additional gravel is delivered by conveyor boom, spread, and compacted to create a level base for the concrete pour.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was established on April 6, 1830, a day we honor in the Church.
We are nearing that Bicentennial Anniversary.
I want to recognize you as a part of this great work as we celebrate the Restoration in these latter days.

This was his final conference address, he passed away shortly after.
To say that this man, who spent his life studying Jesus Christ and writing volumes on His life, would not be a Christian is straight heresy.

Elder Dube is one of my favorite speakers. I was with my daughter on top of Hill Cumorah, saw this guy trying to do a selfi with his wife and daughters. I offered to take the picture for them. It turned out it was Elder Dube.
