President Dallin H. Oaks addressed a public audience outside Utah for the first time in nearly 17 months at a single adult conference on Sunday afternoon in Seattle, Washington.
No one can meet life’s challenges without the Savior’s spiritual strength, he told the approximately 40,000 North American West Area attendees of the Church.
“Jesus Christ is the source of our strength to bear the burdens of mortality,” he said.
President Oaks, First Counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, spoke during the closing prayer of the conference, “Living Abundance,” a three-day event for single adults held in person and virtually in locations in California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Hawaii.
