President Russell M. Nelson By Elder Dallin H. Oaks First Counseolor in the First Presidency “All kingdoms have a law given. … “And unto every kingdom is given a law; and unto every law there are certain bounds also and conditions” (D&C 88:36, 38).6 Dr. Nelson reasoned that if he worked, studied, and asked the right questions, he and his team could learn what laws govern the beating heart. “It was through the understanding of the scriptures and ‘likening’ them to this area of interest,” he said, “that the great field of heart surgery as we know it today was facilitated for me.” Throughout his life, this ability to apply gospel principles has blessed President Nelson, his family, the Church, and the world. It was key to his preparation for his call as an Apostle and now as President of the Church. https://www.lds.org/ensign/2018/05-se/president-russell-m-nelson-guided-prepared-committed?lang=eng

Elder Neil L. Andersen Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles For decades, I have remembered the words: “These are they who have overcome the world.” . . . Those who overcome the world develop an all-encompassing love for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. . . . “We love him, because he first loved us.” . . . Overcoming the world is not one defining moment in a lifetime, but a lifetime of moments that define an eternity. https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2017/04/overcoming-the-world?lang=eng

President Russell M. Nelson President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles It is doctrinally incomplete to speak of the Lord’s atoning sacrifice by shortcut phrases, such as “the Atonement” or “the enabling power of the Atonement” or “applying the Atonement” or “being strengthened by the Atonement.” These expressions present a real risk of misdirecting faith by treating the event as if it had living existence and capabilities independent of our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. Under the Father’s great eternal plan, it is the Savior who suffered. It is the Savior who broke the bands of death. It is the Savior who paid the price for our sins and transgressions and blots them out on condition of our repentance. It is the Savior who delivers us from physical and spiritual death. https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2017/04/drawing-the-power-of-jesus-christ-into-our-lives?lang=eng

Elder Lynn G. Robbins President Thomas S. Monson has taught us, “Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved.” How vital that principle is in becoming righteous judges, especially with our own children. https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2016/10/the-righteous-judge?lang=eng

Elder Kazuhiko Yamashita What does it mean to “be ambitious for Christ”? Being ambitious for Christ means being motivated, focused, and dedicated to His work. Being ambitious for Christ will seldom mean that we are singled out for public honor. Being ambitious for Christ means that we serve faithfully and diligently in our wards and branches without complaint and with joyful hearts. . . . . May we be ambitious for Christ as we accept our difficulties and trials with patience and faith and find joy in our covenant path. https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2016/10/be-ambitious-for-christ?lang=eng
