Priesthood quorum changes. New apostles. Home and visiting teaching gone. And then that mic drop of seven new temples announced, including in Russia and India.

The Most-Used Word from Last General Conference and Why It’s Important

Lindsey Miller - The April 2018 general conference made history as President Russell M. Nelson was sustained as the new prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
