To help you prepare for the April 2023 general conference, the team at LDS Living has gathered one quote from each talk from October 2022 general conference as a reminder of the promises, blessings, and messages given by our inspired Church leaders.

Here is today’s October 2022 general conference quote to ponder:

February 25: “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
