Elder Ballard counsels Mormon singles in Boston

BOSTON —

Elder M. Russell Ballard advised more than 600 single adults to

consistently feed the spiritual side through simple daily tasks like prayer

and scripture study.

He spoke at an LDS Education Conference for Mormon single adults in

Boston, Mass., over the weekend of October 31.

By magnifying the Spirit within them through consistent prayer, single

adults will be able to overcome temptations and move towards salvation,

Elder Ballard said.

\"As we study and allow ourselves to magnify the Spirit within us, things

become clearer, we have greater power to control the temptations, or

control the buffeting of the evil one. He attacks generally our physical

side; however, we can prevail and find ourselves safely moving towards our

eternal destiny,\" taught Elder Ballard. \"And, our destiny is through the

Savior and His Atonement.We may qualify to dwell in (Heavenly Father's and

Jesus Christ's) presence for time, for all

eternity.\"
