From this past General Conference regarding Ministering to the One with Love:
"It’s OK to say “I don’t know.” While you should try your best to help the people you teach to answer their questions about the gospel, the Lord doesn’t expect you to know everything. When you don’t know how to answer something, admit it. Then point learners to revealed doctrine, and bear sincere testimony of what you do know."
Elder Peter M. Johnson, of the Seventy
