A Higher Joy | Dieter F. Uchtdorf | April 2024 General Conference

[@Damariobros]

Dieter F. Uchtdorf has always been my favorite apostle. His words touch my heart in ways like no other apostle's do, they connect with me like none other.

[@bradmaclean1417]

Joy we seek to bring to others will be returned to us 100 fold!

[@NotSomebody63]

It is so true! I try to treat everyone I see with respect and a smile. I open doors open for people and wish them a good day too! I love to see people look up from their phones and smile and respond to me ~ it is then that I know that I made a difference in their life that day! Have a great day!!!!

[@jesuseliozepeda3742]

I love you Elder Uchtdorf, you are a light in our lives. Your love for truth, intelligence, and depth of spirit illuminate our paths.

[@Ashs-mini-vlogs]

I’m not a member but I like this speaker

[@PJ-mb3ue]

Me too

[@misabel801]

He is the best! He addresses the profound mysteries of being human, and raises us Higher !

[@recursosyvaloreshumanos9582]

Yes I like him too,, he has something different when he teachers us,,,I wonder if I can become like him one day,,,I want to

[@lindajoyner8067]

What can we do to change this? Listen to our message and see if we have something to offer you. My life began when I heard this message of restoration , I stand in wonder that I was one of the few who was able to see the the fulfilling of the many prophecies of another book to come forth in the latter days that would stand with the Holy Bible as a second witness of the of our Savior Jesus Christ.

[@ericpineda1612]

This guy is beautiful

[@ruthann8111]

A divine loving message of eternal hope! Thank you Elder Uchtdorf!

[@PeterGlen-s9z]

The Church of Jesus Christ is the most beautiful religion that God has made for us. All those who think differently prefer to live with out the light and promises of God. We will all have to answer for our deeds done on earth. We will never be happy without the reciprocation Gods love in our lives, especially when we leave this life after death.

[@rmj4978]

This is by far my favourite talk. Elder Uchtdorf seems to be the more sensible, sensitive and in tune with the LDS community. Love his enthusiasm and his teachings.

[@dovesoriano782]

Thank u so much. Just in time that i need to hear these worda.

[@user-ms4tl2ys4n]

I wish my grandpa could have met Elder Uchtdorf. He was also a pilot who loved to talk about flying. Eventually, he had to give up his license because of a heart condition. But, several years later, in spite of there being little hope for Grandpa's survival, President Nelson operated on him and extended his life for another 25 years! As you can imagine, my family is very grateful to the Lord and President Nelson for that.

[@HAJensen19987]

That’s super cool

[@user-ms4tl2ys4n]

​@@HAJensen19987Thank you, they're three of my favorite people... President Nelson, Elder Uchtdorf, and my grandpa!

[@juliebridge7590]

Thanks for sharing!! President Nelson must have been a gifted surgeon, guided by Heavenly Father!!

[@user-ms4tl2ys4n]

​@@juliebridge7590Absolutely. He was a world-class surgeon, so the people he operated on were very fortunate.

[@EduardoCarrasquillo]

He’s a great man full of compassion and knowledge of the Scriptures

[@guymackey6226]

God Bless The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.🙏

[@deweyrowe4038]

Amen to that!

[@davedoesthingsdreaded]

God bless everyone not just the church members. Many church members leave it at just the "saints" but love should be showed to all

[@marlindiaz3264]

Be careful what you pray for sometimes blessings aren't what you expect

[@3DMOVIES4YOU]

This Man never disappoints me in his message and in the Spirit in which he speaks it. Thank you Elder Uchtdorf, you have brought me closer to God and closer to this Church by watching and listening to you over the years.

[@carolyndollar1533]

What a beautiful message . Inspired for our day with all of the turmoil in the world.

[@espaeeb8406]

Thank you Elder Uchtdorf - this is exactly what I needed to hear and apply in my life. Thank you for your service 🙏

[@kevinpyne24]

"My dear brothers and sisters, dear friends, as you search the word of God for a deeper understanding of God’s eternal plan, accept these invitations, and strive to walk in His Way, you will experience “the peace of God, which passeth all understanding,” even in the midst of sorrows. You will feel a greater measure of God’s unsurpassable love swelling within your heart. The dawn of celestial light will penetrate the shadows of your trials, and you will begin to taste the unspeakable glories and wonders of the unseen, perfect, heavenly sphere. You will feel your spirit lifting away from the gravity of this world." Wow! What a great talk, divine counsel and heavenly peace achieved!

[@allyendicott7025]

When you think that there isn't much joy in this world and you haven't received many special gifts, then think upon this talk, this man, this church, this precious gift from a loving God. I am so deeply grateful that these amazing men have blessed us with their love of the Lord by serving and counseling us with such love. Thank you Elder Uchtdorf, your love for us is humbling.

Uchtdorf put into words what I’ve been trying to formulate for a while now, so I’m glad I have a talk to fall back on when talking to people about this topic!

[@symphomia]

A personal message and instruction to me.... For which I am sincerely grateful

[@shelleyeisele1022]

This talk touches me deeply-I have dealt with a health issue that has caused me and my family problems for decades--and it has been difficult to find the help I need because doctors don’t agree with one another-and I’ve been like a birdie in a game of badminton. I needed to hear these words-and I pray that God will bless me with healing and joy-

[@barbarawinsor5306]

The best speaker by far, and the most handsome by even farther.

[@dorimosher9800]

I think it's because he doesn't talk like a General Authority😂. He talks like a normal human who has connection to reality. Just a thought🤷‍♀️. I could be wrong.

[@MrNashtyone]

Yes my mom used to say. What a handsome man.

[@MrNashtyone]

​@@dorimosher9800Your absolutely right. People aren't dumb. They feel and know a sincere kind person when they see one. That is not Bednar and some others. Don't get me wrong. They are inspired. They have to seek out inspiration for their calling and that's a tough job that I wouldn't want to have by any means. But if you were having a problem and wanted to go to a general authority to help you with it much like you would go to the Savior for his love empathy and understanding who would you go to? To me Uchdorf is that guy and that's just by the eye test. I'm sure he will be the prophet some day.

[@johnharvey4448]

​@@MrNashtyoneI think he will be too. I think Elder Bednar will be too.

If we seek reasons to be angry to doubt to be bitter or alone we will find them; however, if we seek joy, look for reasons to rejoince and happily follow the Savior we will find it

[@maryellenrollins4642]

You missed his point about mental health issues. There are those who cannot just think positive and have joy. Some need medications, some have a great cross to bare from abuse. Some may not be well in this life.

[@RennieKativu]

Love your talk💕

[@GymbalLock]

14:32 "the dawn of celestial light will penetrate the shadows of your trials" But my trials are to not have joy, and the Spirit was cut off for several years. My trial is to endure alone, in spiritual darkness, without comfort, guidance, or direction. That is the the very nature of the trial Heavenly Father has given me, and is almost beyond my ability to bear.

[@pulanemabula8311]

Alot of people feel like this. But joy will come eventually. Sooner or later. It will be well one day. Ours is to keep the faith.

[@chosenexc8054]

There is no depth to which you can descend where the Savior cannot find you. No matter how far down you have gone, He has gone down further. No matter how dark it is for you, He has been in darker, whatever comfort or guidance or direction has been stripped from, it was stripped from Him a thousand fold. You may not have much joy at this time, and your path forward might be bleak, and the light in your life may be very faint, but He is there with you even in that dreary and dark place. He is within your reach even now where you are. If joy and light and comfort aren't there, He is there, and He will patiently walk that lonely road by your side. Over time and step by step, maybe over a long time, He will lead you out of there and back into the light where you belong. Your trial maybe to endure a lonely path, but you are not completely alone. He is within your reach, and more importantly, your are within His.

Favorite talk so far ❤

[@Cyrus-n8y]

Dear Elder, I didn't know that every member of the church who works in the field of aviation is mocked and ridiculed by elders or senior members of the church. What about workers, merchants,doctors, and others? What about those who are poor and joined the church, having no financial support to move forward in life? However, we joined with humility and true faith in Jesus Christ,believing that the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-days Saint is the true. We are resolving our life challenges on our own.Yet others always showed us that we are sinners and we judged for tithing which we were homeless .So what type of job and servitude is valuable to you?that we may choose it and avoid being ridiculous. We love you in any position and role. Thanks

[@SaraAhmad-dn8gb]

Lovely Talk

[@frenchamericantv]

[@benjaminkoerper]

Beautiful talk. Just Christ. No Russell M Nelson quotes, no excessive emphasis on tithing and covenant path. This man is a true christian. Its a shame he was demoted from the 1st presidency.

[@SchneeflockeMonsoon]

He wasn’t demoted. He was called for a time to serve with President Monson, and now he’s been returned to do other work. I sense you have much pain within you, my friend. Please, seek peace in the time you have, for no man nor the angels of heaven know the hour when he shall be called home.

[@MrNashtyone]

There are allot of people that are hurt and have hard lives that have been deprived blessings in in this life. They want to feel the empathy first and then they'll be ready for the other things. Of course what Nelson says is the way to access blessings from our father in heaven. But some people want to be heard and felt first before they can move to the next step.

[@MrNashtyone]

I hear you brother. Some apostles and prophets have never really been empathetic even though Nelson is telling people the way to access blessings. Which I have no doubt if everyone kept their covenants they would all be highly highly blessed from the Lord. He is saying what he should say even though there are many that want to feel that Christ like love and empathy from their prophet.

[@nathanbanks2935]

Wonderful talk! I know that Elder Uchtdorf is a true apostle of Jesus Christ, and that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is Christ's New Testament Church restored to the earth again. Some of the facts that point to the true church is a church with: apostles, prophets, preachers, teachers, evangelists (patriarchs), etc. Also, the priesthood which comes not from degrees in theology, but instead comes from God through his authorized servants by the laying on of hands. None of Christ's original apostles were choosen because of theological education, but rather, they were choosen by God, because he saw potential in them. The use of temples are another one. Isaiah prophesied: " In the last days the mountain of the LORD’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it." - Isaiah 2:2 NIV Holy Bible The temple was also used post Resurrection of Jesus Christ, by his apostles. I think it's Luke 24:53, and again in acts 3. There are other things that I believe point to the fact that this is Jesus Christ's church, but these are some examples of ones that I though that I would share.

[@DevonFine-mz8cu]

[@marlindiaz3264]

Danica i know we never married in the temple like the spirit told us too. I know you are married to the man your mother wanted you to marry. I will always love you and am keeping my promise to love and support you no matter what. Im doing that by being married to the second woman the spirit guided me too. She is wonderful and my son is the best gift she and you have given me. And long ago i forgave your mother for her blasphemy. May your children be guided and protected by the lord. For i consider them mine.
