The concluding session of General Conference was met with a worldwide invitation from President Dallin H. Oaks of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to come and see the Salt Lake Temple.

"On April 5th, 2027, the temple doors will open to the public the first such opening since 1893," President Oaks said,

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, acting president of the Quorum of the Twelve, also addressed the session. He emphasized the importance of the covenant of baptism.

"When we are baptized, we declare before God and witnesses that we are desirous to come into the fold of God. We show that we do not want to live only for ourselves," President Uchtdorf said.

President Uchtdorf shared that discipleship is rarely dramatic at the beginning, and it takes time to develop a relationship with God.

"As we progress along the covenant path, our relationship with God deepens and our capacity for a joyful life expands," President Uchtdorf said.

Sister Andrea Muoz Spannaus, second counselor in the Young Women General Presidency, shared things to do that would help the audience choose to love God, including partaking of the sacrament with a humble heart, repent daily, study the scriptures, study what it means to have ministering angels help you, protect your sleep and limit cellphone use.

Sister Spannaus shared an invitation from President Dallin H. Oaks to "Seek friends who are striving to follow the Lord."

Elder Moiss Villanueva, General Authority Seventy, shared about the blessings that come from living the law of tithing.

I testify that Jesus Christ is His Son and that He directs His Church today. He gives us commandments because He wants us to receive His blessings, Elder Villanueva said.

Elder David A. Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve also addressed the conference, declaring that everyone should be grateful to walk in the ordinances of Christ.

"I pray the Holy Ghost will instruct and enlighten each of us as we consider the importance of ordinances and covenants as spiritual credentials for our journey home to Heavenly Father," Elder Bednar said.

Elder Thabo Lebethoa, General Authority Seventy, shared what he believed would increase the Savior's light in their lives increasing faith in Jesus Christ, studying the scriptures daily and practicing repentance daily.

I testify that when we help people rather than judge them, one by one, in our own small and simple ways, we are preparing the world for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, Elder Sinclair said.

"I testify that when we can help people rather than judge them, one by one, in our own small and simple ways," Elder Sinclair said.

Elder Gary E. Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve addressed children, assuring them of their purpose.

"Even though you are young, you are an important part of Their work," Elder Stevenson said.

Elder Stevenson identified three fruits of the gospel: knowing people are children of a loving Heavenly Father, understanding the plan of happiness centered on Jesus Christ and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost.

He concluded with an invitation to love, share and invite.

I invite you to do something that is as simple as gospel fruit is delicious: love, share and invite, Elder Stevenson said. Do this with words and actions.

Brother Gabriel W. Reid, second counselor in the Sunday School General Presidency, shared his personal experience learning from his parents and extended family who "learned and lived the Gospel together."

Elder Clark G. Gilbert of the Quorum of the Twelve shared five principles previously shared by President Oaks in a devotional titled "Standing Fast with Love in Proclaiming Truth."

The five principles were to avoid overly contentious settings, find common ground, be a light, hold to truth even in our outreach and stay anchored in Jesus Christ.

President Oaks closed the final session with his testimony.

"Truth is to be found here. Truth about the teachings of the Lord and truth about the covenant path that will lead us to our destiny, the destiny desired by our Heavenly Father," President Oaks said.

People flooded into the Conference Center at Temple Square for the last session of the 196th Semiannual General Conference.

The session began with a talk from Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf about being unified.

Pres. Uchtdorf reminded members that although Satan has been working hard to separate and divide people, Gods goal is to gather them together as His children.

In the Saviors Church, it is not our political views, culture, or personal interests that unite us. It is our love for God and neighbor. It is our commitment to our covenants with Jesus Christ and to His restored gospel. We are one in Christ,' Pres. Uchtdorf said.

Maximilien Coppel, a member from Switzerland, said he loved the focus on uniting as the Church has become much more global.

We can be united around Jesus Christ, that even if we are different people from different countries, from different backgrounds, that Jesus Christ really is the center of this Church, Coppel said.

Other speakers focused on how members should treat and connect with one another.

Elder Paul H. Sinclair shared the story of the woman at the well who was greeted by Jesus.

She walked to the well that day as a pariah. She walked away from the well with a purpose. That is precisely what quick to help and slow to judge looks like, Sinclair said.

Sinclair stressed the Savior set an example for people as He chose not to judge others based on the choices they have made.

Londyn Bambrough said she loved the talk because she feels judging had become so prevalent with the use of social media.

Brother Gabriel W. Reid highlighted the need for creating strong relationships within the Church when he spoke about the new Sunday School schedule.

Christ-centered teaching is rooted in relationships, Reid said.

President Dallin H. Oaks invited everyone to study and ponder the messages prayerfully and to attend the Salt Lake Temple celebration beginning April 5, 2027.

This session of the General Conference has concluded, Church leadership will return in April with messages.
