Uchtdorf of the Quorum of the Twelve, a concert from Ben Rector, Rachel Platten and Emma Nissen in the Delta Center and an attempt to break the Guinness World Record title for “The Most Contributions to a Greetings Card” by signing the largest birthday card ever for President Russell M.

The conference’s Instagram has invited individuals to share their testimonies of faith on social media using the hashtag #utysaconf in anticipation of this weekend’s spiritually uplifting events.

“Why I believe in Jesus Christ? There are so many reasons,” Felicity Westwood said on the UTYSA conference Instagram account. “I just love Him so much.”

“I can promise you as you put in the effort, God will bless you,” Laine said via Instagram. “If you’re on the fence about coming, please come. It’s going to be so fun.”
