PROVO, Utah — In June, all members of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, along with other leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, delivered messages at the 2026 Seminar for New Mission Leaders.
Talks from the seminar are typically shared only with mission and senior Church leaders, but Elder Ronald A. Rasband of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles felt many of the messages also applied to missionaries.
“It was a remarkable seminar where the Spirit of the Lord was abundantly present,” Elder Rasband said in a Tuesday, Aug. 11, devotional at the Provo Missionary Training Center. “Today I would like to share with all of you what I would like to call a ‘seminar highlight reel’ of sorts and emphasize the messages from the seminar that apply directly to you.”
