While on my mission, I attended a zone conference at which my mission president gave a workshop on leadership.  He drew two columns on the chalkboard, and on one side, he listed the things a good leader does, and on the other, the things a great leader does.  I still have my notes from that… [Read More]

With General Conference coming up this weekend, I thought you might enjoy reading this experience of Elder M. Russell Ballard while visiting Bolivia: Elder Ballard was assigned to preside over and speak at a Church regional conference in La Paz, Bolivia.
