Corbitt of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints spoke during the Church's October 2022 general conference. said, 'We are seeing some of the blessings of the negativity that we’ve seen over the past few years, a couple of years, and we’re living it. We are as positive and optimistic and happy as can be for the rising generation and for their parents and for the future of the Church, Sarah. I really do, and we hear the prophets and apostles say this all the time, but we really feel burning in our bosom, that the future of the Church is in good hands. And I bear witness of that in the name of Jesus Christ, amen."
