Elder Ballard - BYU Hawaii Commencement

We are currently attending BYU-Hawaii's December commencement ceremony, and Elder Ballard has just addressed us. With the help of our tablet pc and WWAN internet, I'm following up on the prompting and invitation he extended to us to "join the conversation."

Specifically, he opened my eyes to my personal online "sphere of influence" and asked us to use the new media to spread the message of the Restored gospel. He spoke of the marvel of the invention of the printing press and its associated bust of revolutionary knowledge & growth. He affirmed that in our day we can participate in a modern day revolution and use its power to spread the message for good.

His invitation is one that would have us generate, contribute to, and correct content that will help answer questions and influence others for good. I feel like there is more that I can do to spread the gospel message that has so blessed our lives, and would invite you to also lend your voice to enlist in the forces for good. We live in a marvelously connected time, and I think that if we'll enlist in the cause championed by Elder Ballard, the voices of many can be heard by those who might be seeking. And being so blessed by what we know - we need to find ever better ways to share.
