2026 ā President Dallin H. Oaks, the living prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints testified,
"My dear friends, you are growing up in a remarkable and challenging time. One of the greatest opportunities to learn, gather, and lift [yourself and] others is found at [seminary and institute].
Make consistent attendance at seminary a priority. As you attend seminary, you will feel Godās love; find answers in your life; deepen your testimony of Jesus Christ; build emotional and spiritual strength; prepare for the temple, missions, education, and a future family; and gain courage to stand for truth.
We live in a day when noise and confusion are common. In contrast, at institute you will learn to distinguish truth from error, build your relationship with Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ, find direction and discover answers to lifeās greatest questions, meet others to help you along the covenant path, meet people whom you may choose to date and marry, and prepare to love and lead like the Savior.
My dear [youth and young adults], I invite you to consistently attend [seminary or institute]. I also encourage you to invite friends to share in these same blessings. I promise that your time at seminary or institute will bring the Saviorās peace, joy, and divine love. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen."
