WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO MINISTER?

Ministering means serving and loving. Jesus Christ ministered

to others, and so do His Apostles. How are the people

below ministering?He spoke in a devotional and three sacrament meet-ings so he could share Heavenly Father’s love with lots of people!

When he met an elderly man whose home was damaged, President Ballard said:

I’m one of the Apostles of

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. . . . We want you to know we

love you. And we’re here because Jesus Christ would want us

to be here.
