We are very blessed in this region due in no small part to the faithfulness and covenant keeping of the good people in our Stake. We encourage you to remain constant in your pursuit of building a Zion society and invite you over the upcoming months to unitedly exercise your faith and prayers toward the spiritual and temporal needs of our communities. In addition to the continued need for moisture for the safety and well-being of our land, there are other economic, physical, emotional and spiritual needs all around us. Please accept this invitation as you fast and pray and attend the temple to verbally petition the Lord for the blessings needed to edify and strengthen this land and people. We love you, we appreciate you, we thank you, and we pray for you.

Dear Stake Presidents, 

The Canada Area Presidency has approved the Alberta YSA conference in Edmonton, AB from Friday February 27th to Sunday March 1st and invite all of your YSA to come and join us for the event.

 The theme for the conference is taken from Ephesians 1:10 - Together in Christ. The conference will include faith building sessions, a dedicated YSA opportunity to participate in temple ordinances, a service project, a combined Sunday Sacrament Meeting, an activity at the West Edmonton Mall Waterpark, a dance, and many opportunities to build faith and make connections with other YSA from across Canada. Billeting will be available for any YSA that do not have housing connections in Edmonton.

 Information about the conference and a link to register for the can be found on Social Media: Instagram: YSAconf2026 and on Eventbrite by searching Alberta YSA Conference 2026.  As the host stake, we are excited to welcome and grow in faith with the wonderful YSA from your stake.

Sincerely, Edmonton YSA Stake Presidency.

New Apostle Clark G. Gilbert Called

Elder Clark C. Gilbert Called to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

12 February 2026 - SALT LAKE CITY 

News Release

Elder Clark G. Gilbert is the newest member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He was called on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, and ordained on Thursday, February 12, by President Dallin H. Oaks and the other members of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

Elder Gilbert, 55, was born in Oakland, California, and spent most of his childhood in Phoenix, Arizona. He has served as a General Authority Seventy since April 2021 and as the Commissioner of the Church Educational System since August of that year.

“This is an amazing time to point people to the Savior Jesus Christ,” Elder Gilbert said on Thursday. “When we do that, we can find joy and comfort and peace in Him. As President [Russell M.] Nelson once said, it’s much harder to find happiness where it doesn’t exist. And we’re so grateful that I have this calling now to witness that Jesus is the Christ. If people all across the world will look to Him, He will make their lives better, more meaningful, more joyful. And it happens in and through our Savior Jesus Christ.”
