A close-up look at the life, faith, and testimony of President M. Russell Ballard

President M. Russell Ballard has lived a life of service. From his early days as a child in Salt Lake City to his service as a missionary, he has made a positive difference in the lives of so many of the Lord’s children. And then when he was set apart as Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in January 2018, it was another milestone in a lifetime of service to the Lord. Having set aside a variety of entrepreneurial ventures to serve as president of the Canada Toronto Mission at the age of forty-five, he then accepted a call to serve in the First Quorum of the Seventy in 1976 and continued serving in the Church for the remainder of his professional career.

39: “Comfort Ye My People” (Isaiah 40–49)

What brings you comfort or peace? If we asked a child that question, their answer might be an ice cream cone or a trip to Disneyland. And while the kid in many of us may find solace in a little ice cream, we’ve likely found deeper sources of comfort; things like a good conversation with someone we trust or a long hug. But the deepest and most lasting peace comes from a knowledge of Christ and His plan. You’ll want to get comfortable for this week’s lesson in Isaiah 40-49, because Isaiah’s words are just what a weary soul needs.

Mitt Romney as a Young Missionary: How He Overcame Despair and Refuted Attacks from a Catholic Priest

By Mitt and Ann Romney

Before I went on my mission to France, I read the Book of Mormon, fasted for a day, and prayed to have God reveal to me whether it was true or false. Nothing happened. I had read in the book of Moroni that I would get an answer, and I assumed it would be clear, convincing, and probably somewhat physical.
