Man, it really hits home: thinking about how much of a spiritual anchor Elder Ballard has been since my youth, as young missionary years ago, and in the years since. I can easily think of several of his talks that have meant so much to me and others, and also recall his voice giving them. He will be missed!

I am daily amazed that l, somehow, was blessed to be tracked out by missionaries who taught me about the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I love Him, and l love the Prophet Joseph Smith. Each day it dawns on me that l am incredibly blessed to be a part of this marvelous work and wonder. We will miss you Elder Ballard but l am thrilled for you as you are reunited with Barbara and all who have gone before you.

Whenever he came to speak to us at BYU he always referred to himself as “Grandpa Ballard”! ❤️ It feels crazy to lose another one of what feels like the old guard of the apostles. So happy for him to be reunited with his wife and be having that talk with his own Grandpa Ballard!

I loved President Ballard's counsel on how to lead in a way that puts the family first. He was my resource when I was a "young" young women's president, struggling to balance that calling and being a newer mom myself. I have leaned on that counsel repeatedly in my callings in the church. He really brought home that the church is the scaffolding on the family and not the other way around.

As a child I would look through the christmas cards every december and one day I noticed one of them was from the Ballard family. I asked my mom why one of the apostles and his children and grandchildren where on this card and why they would send it to us of all people. My mother then told me that before she was married she had babysat some of the grandchildren and their family then sent us a christmas card every year after that. That impressed me that they would remember my mom so many years latter. I made more of an effort to listen in general conference to what Elder Ballard and other speakers had to say which was hard for me at such a young age, but I wanted to hear what he had to say since his children had gone to the effort of sending a card out to us each year and it made me curious. Thank you!
