Elder Ballard's Fireside

We just got home from a fireside with M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. It was really powerful! He read President Hinckley's testimony born to the Apostles and Elder Ballard said, it was revelation. It's true. 

He bore his testimony of the pioneers and the spirit that comes with reading journals and stories of the saints. He recounted his experience at a historical site where the saints huddled in a cave looking for food and all died. He saw in his mind's eye the suffering o f those individuals. 

I fully have a testimony of that. While Ernie and I were at Haun's Mill, I saw, in my mind's eye, those women and children running up the banks of that canal as their husband's and father's were massacred. My heart went out to them.
