But as I think about my testimony, the thing that has changed the most is my love for and appreciation for Jesus Christ.

And it really wasn't until we began learning about the various people that we feature in saints and how their lives have been shaped by Jesus Christ and his love and his atoning power that I began to really feel the importance of having a savior in my own life. And I really began to appreciate why I need to rely on him

every day. And I have begun to rely on him more and more every day because of the way I've seen

him work in the lives of the people we feature in saints. And because of the way I've seen him work in the lives of the

people we feature in saints and because of the way that we've seen him guide this church every

day.

Today we're taking you on a journey of connection as we discuss news and events of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

On Tuesday, October 29, 2024, the Church History Department celebrated the release of the fourth and final edition of the Saints

Historical series, chronicling the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Saints, Volume 4, sounded in every ear, is now available in 14 languages and various formats,

appropriately as the volume follows the rapid growth in church membership globally from

1955 to 2020.

Church History Department historians Scott Hales and James Perry

kindred, tongue, and people. Scott, James, thanks for being here with us today.
