At the conclusion of five sessions of Christ-centered messages inviting all to draw closer to Christ, President Russell M. Nelson expressed his hope that those who listened or watched will act on the impressions they recorded.

“Our Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, stand ready to help you. I urge you to increase your efforts to seek Their help,” said President Nelson, Prophet and President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who was the final speaker of October 2022 general conference.

President Nelson announced 18 new temple locations, including four in the Mexico City metropolitan area, and invited all to focus on the temple.

“I promise that increased time in the temple will bless your life in ways nothing else can. ... My dear brothers and sisters, may you focus on the temple in ways you never have before,” he said.

Below are 15 invitations extended by members of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles during October 2022 general conference. 

‘Overcome the world through your covenants’

“My plea to you this morning is to find rest from the intensity, uncertainty and anguish of this world by overcoming the world through your covenants with God. … I call upon you, my dear brothers and sisters, to become this righteous people. Cherish and honor your covenants above all other commitments. As you let God prevail in your life, I promise you greater peace, confidence, joy and, yes, rest.”

President Russell M. Nelson, President of the Church, “Overcome the World and Find Rest

Be more aware, appreciative of others’ service

“Despite all that our Church does directly, most humanitarian service to the children of God worldwide is carried out by persons and organizations having no formal connection with our Church. … As members of the restored Church, we need to be more aware and more appreciative of the service of others. The Church of Jesus Christ is committed to serving those in need, and it is also committed to cooperating with others in that effort.”

President Dallin H. Oaks, first counselor in the First Presidency, “Helping the Poor and Distressed

Represent the Lord in ministering

“When you sit with someone as their ministering sister or brother, you represent the Lord. Think of what He would do or say. He would invite them to come unto Him. He would encourage them. He would notice and praise the beginning of the changes they will need to make. And He would be the perfect example for them to emulate.”

President Henry B. Eyring, second counselor in the First Presidency, “Legacy of Encouragement” 

‘Follow Jesus Christ with faith in every footstep’

“Let us follow Jesus Christ with faith in every footstep. We need to serve the Lord and serve one another. We need to strengthen ourselves spiritually by keeping and honoring our covenants. We should not lose the sense of urgency to keep the commandments. ... Please remember that if anyone should lose their way, we will never be lost to our Savior. With the blessing of repentance, we can turn to Him.”

President M. Russell Ballard, Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “Follow Jesus Christ With Footsteps of Faith

‘Follow Him everywhere’

“To be a follower of Jesus Christ, one must sometimes carry a burden — your own or someone else’s — and go where sacrifice is required and suffering is inevitable. A true Christian cannot follow the Master only in those matters with which he or she agrees. No. We follow Him everywhere, including, if necessary, into arenas filled with tears and trouble, where sometimes we may stand very much alone.”

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “Lifted Up Upon the Cross

‘Put your trust in Jesus Christ’

“When you have important choices to make, Jesus Christ and His restored gospel are the best choice. When you have questions, Jesus Christ and His restored gospel are the best answer. When you feel weak, Jesus Christ is your strength. … You need to put your trust in Jesus Christ. He will lead you the right way. He is your strength.”

Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “Jesus Christ Is the Strength of Youth.” 

Evaluate priorities

“Each of us should evaluate our temporal and spiritual priorities sincerely and prayerfully to identify the things in our lives that may impede the bounteous blessings that Heavenly Father and the Savior are willing to bestow upon us. And surely the Holy Ghost will help us to see ourselves as we really are.”

Elder David A. Bednar, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “Put On Thy Strength, O Zion

‘Be true to God and His work’

“In Alma’s day, in Heber [C. Kimball]’s day, and certainly in our day, we all need to seek our own testimony of Jesus Christ, bridle our passions, repent of our sins and find peace through the Atonement of Jesus Christ and be true to God and His work.”

Elder Quentin L. Cook, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “Be True to God and His Work

Leave judgment to the Lord

“Let us leave judgment in the Lord’s hands and those He has commissioned and be content to love and treat each other the best we can. Let us ask Him to show us the way, day by day, to ‘bring in … the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind’ — that is, everyone — to the great feast of the Lord.”

Elder D. Todd Christofferson, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “The Doctrine of Belonging

Separate yourself from the world without isolating

“Seeking with all our heart to know and love the Savior, we separate ourselves from the world through covenants with God, being distinct, uncommon and special, as we honor Him and His teachings without isolating ourselves from others who believe differently.”

Elder Neil L. Andersen, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “Drawing Closer to the Savior

Share the Book of Mormon

“I invite you, this day, to give a Book of Mormon to your friends and family, your associates at work, your soccer coach or the produce man at your market. They need the words of the Lord found in this book. They need answers to the questions of everyday life and of eternal life to come. They need to know of the covenant path laid out before them and the Lord’s abiding love for them. It’s all here in the Book of Mormon.”

Elder Ronald A. Rasband, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “This Day

Bear testimony in word and deed

“I invite you to seek opportunities to bear your testimony in word and in deed. … When a moment like this comes, grab it and embrace it. You will feel the warmth of the Comforter inside you when you do.”

Elder Gary E. Stevenson, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “Nourishing and Bearing Your Testimony.” 

‘Claim personal revelation for yourself’

“I invite you to have the confidence to claim personal revelation for yourself, understanding what God has revealed, consistent with the scriptures and the commandments He has given through His appointed prophets and within your own purview and agency. I know that the Holy Ghost can and will show you all things that you should do.”

Elder Dale G. Renlund, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “A Framework for Personal Revelation

Draw closer to the Savior in His House

“May we draw closer to our Savior in the holy house of the Lord, and may He draw us closer to God and each other as we knit our hearts together in Christ-given compassion, truth and mercy in all our generations — in time and eternity, happy and forever. In Jesus Christ, it is possible; in Jesus Christ, it is true.”

Elder Gerrit W. Gong, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “Happy and Forever

‘Work together in a true and equal partnership’

“I testify to you that as we — women and men — work together in a true and equal partnership, we will enjoy the unity taught by the Savior as we fulfill the divine responsibilities in our marriage relationships.”

Elder Ulisses Soares, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, “In Partnership With the Lord
