President M. Russell Ballard, Acting President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, embarked on a weekend journey to New England, an area rich in early Church history.

The first stop was Sharon, Vermont, the birthplace of Church Prophet Joseph Smith. The visit was especially meaningful to President Ballard, a direct descendant of Joseph Smith’s older brother, Hyrum. Joseph and Hyrum were martyred 175 years ago in Illinois. Hyrum is President Ballard’s great-great-grandfather.

“I can’t get anywhere near this birthplace without having deep affection and love for the prophet Joseph Smith,” said President Ballard. “I feel obligated to do everything I can to declare and to teach that the gospel is once again on the earth.”

President Ballard was joined by Elder D. Todd Christofferson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and his wife, Katherine. Friday night, the Apostles spoke to Latter-day Saints gathered at a meetinghouse in South Royalton, Vermont.
