This phrase is older than you think. “Solemn assembly” is a phrase from the Hebrew Bible that describes significant gatherings that occurred during Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles. The first temple in Jerusalem was dedicated during the time of a solemn assembly. Solemn assemblies are special, sacred meetings held for a variety of holy purposes. They require Latter-day Saints to bring an elevated sense of spirituality with them into the meeting. These assemblies have included the sustaining of new Church presidents, the dedication of a temple or another significant building (such as the Conference Center), the introduction of new scripture, the instruction of priesthood leaders, and other special gatherings. Join us at 10 a.m. MDT on April 4, 2026, for the Saturday morning session of general conference and solemn assembly as we sustain our prophet, @OaksDallinH .

As the years have passed, I have become increasingly humbled as I have thought about, studied, and found immense comfort in the immeasurable gift of our Savior, the Atonement of Jesus Christ. The human mind can scarcely begin to comprehend how completely the destiny of mankind changed because of what happened in Gethsemane, on the cross, and at the tomb. There are no words to describe the magnitude of His precious gift. It will never be required of another. Jesus Christ suffered “once for all” (Hebrews 10:10). As one of His ordained Apostles, I have experienced the spiritual and personal moments that have brought to me a sure and certain witness that Jesus Christ lives. At this Easter season, may we rejoice in singing: “He is risen! He is risen! ... Death is conquered; man is free. Christ has won the victory” (“He Is Risen!” Hymns, no 199).

The road to redemption began with “hosanna.” As we remember the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, may our hearts welcome Him this Easter season.

There is a solution to the insanity…

“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” Matt 19:26 What feels impossible in your life is already possible with God. Don’t limit your faith in Him—He’s not limited by your circumstances.

@drwild08 I served in Santiago North and love those good people. I think about them everyday, and I came home nearly 17 years ago.

Mission Call Accepted! Off to the Chile Antofagasta Mission speaking Spanish this June. Excited to serve the good people of Chile! 🇨🇱 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

@howertonjosh No! Man.. I've really enjoyed many of your biblical insights, but this is pretty far off base, at least as far as LDS scripture is concerned. It is true, powerful, complimentary to the Bible and I hope that any who listen to you will at least read it and find out for themselves.

🚨 If you have one of these Bible "translations" in your home, I suggest you BURN IT or otherwise get rid of it immediately.

I love being a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The Lord’s Church will not fall. Not because of politics. Not because of popularity. Not because people are perfect. It will endure because it is His. Founded by revelation, sustained by priesthood authority, and led by Jesus Christ Himself. Kingdoms rise and fall. Cultures shift. Critics come and go. His Church remains. The stone cut without hands keeps rolling. And it will fill the whole earth. #StillHeLives

I’m worn out hearing people moan, “Our grandparents could buy a house on one paycheck, but now we can’t even afford rent on two!” Yeah, maybe because Grandma wasn’t dropping half her income on $14 iced lattes and avocado toast shaped like art projects. Back then, if they wanted coffee, they boiled it at home in a dented pot. It tasted like burnt rubber and regret — but it woke you up and cleaned your pipes. And Grandma wasn’t “out to brunch.” You think she had time for mimosas and hashtags? She was making something called whatever’s left in the fridge and feeding six people with it. Don’t even start with Uber Eats. You think Grandpa was out here paying $38 to have a burger delivered three blocks away? Please. He grilled mystery meat on a rusted barbecue, and everyone called it dinner. Now people cry about being broke while sitting in a house full of gadgets. Two SUVs in the driveway, six streaming services, three air fryers, and matching tattoos that cost more than their light bill. You think Grandpa had a tattoo? He did. It said “Korea, 1951,” and it came with trauma, not Instagram likes. And the kids—Lord help us. “We can’t make ends meet, but Brayden needs the new iPhone!” No, he doesn’t. You’re handing an $1100 device to a child who still eats crayons and forgets to flush. When we were kids, there was one phone. It hung on the wall like a family relic. The cord stretched just far enough for you to whisper secrets before someone yelled, “Get off, I need to make a call!” And guess what? We lived. The TV? One. In the living room. With three channels and a dial that clicked like a safe. And if Dad wanted to watch bowling, you were a fan of bowling, end of story. Now there’s a flat screen in every room, the baby’s got an iPad, the dog’s got a camera, and everyone’s wondering why they can’t afford rent. Because you’re living like rock stars on retail salaries, that’s why. Grandpa wasn’t leasing Teslas or buying $12 smoothies called “Green Zen Awakening.” He drove a truck that coughed smoke, rattled like a storm, and smelled like oil and hard work. They lived within their means. Whatever Grandpa brought home on Friday — that’s what they had. They weren’t keeping up with the Joneses; they were keeping the lights on. So yeah, Grandpa bought a house on one salary. But he also didn’t have a gym membership, three delivery apps, and emotional support crystals on his nightstand. His only support system was Grandma, who told him to quit whining and mow the yard. Nowadays, everyone’s broke, anxious, and “manifesting abundance” while ordering tacos on DoorDash for the fourth time this week. It’s not the economy — it’s the lifestyle. Wake up, turn off your subscriptions, make your own coffee, and maybe—just maybe—you’ll smell the truth. Credit to original author, unknown

What it was like to grow up in the 90s

@Bornakang I do miss this. Never seen mountain dewritos before, but I bet they’re incredible.

We took this for granted...

BYU President C. Shane Reese: “Wendy and I join with our campus community and people around the world in mourning the passing of President Jeffrey R. Holland, former president of Brigham Young University, and a special witness and apostle of Jesus Christ. His powerful testimony of the Savior strengthened our faith and our commitment to live in a more Christlike way. On a personal note, his kindness, friendship, and mentorship were life-changing for me. I will always treasure the moments I spent with him. Our hearts are with his family and all who mourn his passing.” byuphoto.exposure.co/president-jeff…
