El élder Quentin L. Cook, del Cuórum de los Doce Apóstoles, testificó que las Escrituras ayudan a construir un fundamento de fe.
“Las Sagradas Escrituras y los profetas vivientes son un medio importante con el que un amoroso Padre Celestial pone Su plan de felicidad a disposición de todos Sus hijos”, dijo.
El élder D. Todd Christofferson, del Cuórum de los Doce Apóstoles, dirigió esta sesión. El élder Ahmad S. Corbitt, Setenta Autoridad General, ofreció la oración de apertura, y la hermana Tamara W.
