The last session of the 196th Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints continued with Church leaders' messages centered on Jesus Christ.

Attendees arrived at the Conference Center on Easter morning, excited to hear the words of leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Speakers throughout the Sunday afternoon session emphasized covenants and rejoicing in Jesus Christ.

Elder D. Todd Christopherson, second counselor in the First Presidency, began the session with a message focused on the character of Jesus Christ.

Christlike character grows out of a Christlike heart. Thus, if we are to succeed in developing a Christlike character, we must possess His motivations," he said.

Conference attendee and Brigham Young University student, Savannah Johnson, appreciated Elder Christopherson's emphasis on Christ-like love.

I loved President Christophersons talk; it was so good. I feel like his talk on charity and turning outwards really hit me," she said.

Primary General President Susan H. Porter shifted to address the children in the audience, emphasizing their role in God's plan.

Today you can make choices that will help you change and grow now and prepare you for blessings of love and joy forever," she said.

The importance of covenants was also stressed by multiple leaders including the idea of marriage. Sunday afternoon attendee and BYU student Brady Rustad appreciated this focus.

The fact that families can be eternal and together forever is a very core part of our beliefs," Rustad said.

The session was concluded with the words of President Dallin H. Oaks.

Truly, Jesus Christ is the way to peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come," he said.

President Oaks also encouraged members to ponder and pray over the messages shared during Conference.

As people attending the session and those watching from home finished watching General Conference, they carried the messages with them into their own lives.

On Easter morning, President Dallin H. Oaks of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints encouraged its members to choose love over division.

President Oaks declared to "love even your enemies."

"Let us follow Him by forgoing contention and by using the language and methods of peacemakers," said President Oaks. "In our families and other personal relationships, let us avoid what is harsh and hateful."

Many at this Sunday morning session of General Conference took President Oaks' message to heart.

"I think at the end of the day, if we can just treat each other as children of God, I think we're going to be just fine," said Zachery Youngblood, attendee of the session.

Members of the Church community are already inspired to make changes.

"I think I just need to be more inclusive, be kind to people, even if I don't really know them that well, or even if they're not always nice to me," said Lincoln Spencer, a visitor for the session of General Conference from Yorkshire, England.

People choose to be loving and peaceful members of their communities.

President Oaks called members to rise above division and to choose to love their adversaries to bring peace in a contentious world.

Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints lined the rows of the Conference Center for the Sunday afternoon session, the concluding session of the 196th Annual General Conference.

The Sunday sessions fell on Easter Sunday, marking the end of Holy Week. Many speakers gave Easter-centered messages focused on Jesus Christ, His love and hope found only through Him.

Many messages focused on the principles the Savior taught, as well as the peace that He offers despite trials and struggles.

When life feels infuriatingly unfair, and finding the strength to glory in the Lord seems difficult, reflect on the meaning of His divine names, and let Him restore peace to your soul, Elder Aaron T. Hall, General Authority Seventy, said.

Other speakers focused their messages on promises and miracles.

The Lord honors patient faith. And it is never too late for miracles, Elder Taniela B. Wakolo, a General Authority Seventy, said.

Ryan Tupea, a conference attendee and Hawaii native, said Elder Wakolos talk was his favorite.

This patience, just with you know friends and family converting to the gospel or coming unto Christ. I think that was my favorite part, Tupea said.

Members gathered from across the world for the messages given.

Abbey Steiner, a service missionary, was one of the sisters who helped hand out translation devices to attendees.

The translation devices were available in 50 languages and allowed many members to hear the talks in real-time in their own language.

I hear we have record attendance right now, which is incredible, and that we handed out all our translation devices, Steiner said.

While each talk was different, all were an invitation for listeners to turn their focus to Christ and love as He did.

At the conclusion of the Easter season, members were invited to remember the Savior in all that they do.

Let us see and walk together in His love so He can abide with and in us, and us in Him, at this Eastertide and each day, said Elder Gerrit W. Gong of the Quorum of the Twelve.

All were invited to come unto Christ and find strength and peace in Him.
