As fellow children of our Heavenly Father, it would do us well to talk with and listen to the thoughts and ideas of those who donāt agree with us. If we do this with an open heart, weāll be blessed to understand one another and become a force for peace.

The Saviorās job is to heal. Our job is to loveāto love and minister in such a way that others are drawn to Jesus Christ.
Let us bring all our compassion, empathy, and love as we interact with those around us. President Russell M. Nelson has taught that those who are struggling āneed to experience the pure love of Jesus Christ reflected in [our] words and actions.ā As we minister, we encourage others frequently and offer help. Even if someone is not receptive, we continue to minister as they allow.
The Savior taught that āunto such shall ye continue to minister; for ye know not but what they will return and repent, and come unto me with full purpose of heart, and I shall heal them; and ye shall be the means of bringing salvation unto themā (3 Nephi 18:32). #GeneralConference

In 2016āat a moment of fierce debate over refugeesāElder Kearon gave a talk urging Latter-day Saints to remember our history, care for the displaced, and see them as God's children: "This moment does not define them, but our response will help define us."

Elder Patrick Kearon (@patrickkearon) has been called as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was called on Thursday, December 7, 2023, and ordained later that day by President @NelsonRussellM and the other members of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.Ā
The Quorum of the Twelve Apostles is the second-highest presiding body in the government of the Church. In addition to their primary responsibility to be special witnesses of the name of Christ throughout the world, these Apostles have significant administrative responsibilities in overseeing the operation and development of a global Church. They serve under the direction of the First Presidency, which includes the Church President and two counselors.Ā

Visitors to Times Square were in for a surprise on Nov. 27 as its famous billboards became a larger-than-life tribute to the true reason for Christmas: Jesus Christ.
The billboard takeover at Times Square in New York City was part of Light the World, an annual movement to bring people from all over the world together to share the light of Jesus Christ during the Christmas season. The beautiful nativity scene that emerged from the blackout was a tender reminder of the Saviorās birth and why we need His light and love in our lives.

Homelessness is on the rise in many major U.S. cities, and although it is a complex issue, housing affordability is part of the problem.
There are many ways to improve housing affordability such as reducing regulatory barriers like zoning and landāuse regulations to allow housing development and increase housing supply.

Given the continued momentum on housing/zoning reform, it's worth reviewing housing reform outcomes to see which reforms have been effective.
So, we decided to take a deep dive into recent Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) reforms in 3 locations. The results are promising. 1/X

As disciples of Jesus Christ, we are to be examples of how to interact with othersāespecially when we have differences of opinion. One of the easiest ways to identify a true follower of Jesus Christ is by how compassionately that person treats other people. #GeneralConference

The Biden administration recently unveiled a new federal plan to address homelessness, which rests on an approach known as "Housing First."
This approach emphasizes the need for permanent housing before tackling other issues like mental health or substance use disorder. (1/X)
