October 2026 General Conference › Talks › President Rosemary K. Chibota
President Rosemary K. Chibota
A Child of God
Primary General President
In brief
President Chibota shares a Southern African greeting meaning "I see you," an acknowledgment that another person matters. The Savior saw individuals where others saw labels, and her daughter's friendship with a school janitor shows how seeing someone can begin with learning their name. She invites listeners this week to learn the name of someone who may feel unseen, to pray to see others as God does, and to replace worldly labels with eternal truths: child of God, child of the covenant, disciple of Jesus Christ.
