In case you missed it: Remembering President Ballard

By Andrew Mckinney

President M. Russell Ballard, Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, died Sunday, Nov. 12. President Ballard was remembered last week in several Church News articles, including his obituary, funeral, a video, podcast and highlights from his teachings in the past year and on councils.

President Jeffrey R. Holland was set apart as the Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles on Nov. 15, to succeed President Ballard.

Also the week of Nov. 12-18, Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf, speaking at Ensign College, taught of freedom, constraints and the ‘art of becoming.’ The Okinawa Japan Temple was dedicated by Elder Gary E. Stevenson. Sister Andrea Muñoz Spannaus, second counselor in the Young Women general presidency, spoke to missionaries at the Provo Missionary Training Center.
