“We sustain our living prophet at general conference, and
the First Presidency, the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, General Authorities,
and Officers of the Church. To sustain means to hold up another person, to give
them our attention, to be faithful to their trust, to act upon their words. In
holding up our hands, we are committing our support, not just for that moment
but in our daily lives. Sustaining includes holding up our stake presidents and
bishops, quorum and organization leaders, teachers, and even camp directors in
our wards and stakes. Closer to home, we hold up our wives and our husbands,
children, parents, extended family, and neighbors. When we hold up one another
we are saying, ‘I’m here for you, not just to hold up your arms and hands when
they hang down but to be a comfort and strength at your side.’” – Elder Ronald
A. Rasband
