Blog 12-M. Russell Ballard addresses Media once again!



General Conference weekend is the best!! So grateful for computers, TVs, internet, and other forms of technology that allow us to view conference from any location! 

I loved each conference talk, but was especially excited about talks that connected with any of my classes. Elder Christofferson spoke about the importance of fathers, and even used the word "bafoon" when explaining what the world typically thinks of fathers.

M. Russell Ballard spoke of the importance of family councils, and that there are 4 different types. In order to have the best results, "electronic devices need to be turned off so everyone can look at and listen to each other. During family council, you may want to have a basket for the electronic devices, so that when everyone gathers, including mom and dad, everyone can put their phones, tablets and MP3 players in the basket". 

                             

Here is the link to Elder Ballard's talk from Saturday afternoon!
