I don’t remember exactly what he said, but I seem to recall Elder Winkel saying something along the lines of wishing he had done some things differently in connection with family time. And Church callings were not the only thing mentioned that caused scheduling difficulties: he also mentioned his job and social commitments. But certainly this kind of situation could be the kind of thing Elder Ballard was cautioning against, and I don’t think Elder Winkel’s intent was to hold it up as an example to be particularly emulated.
Actually I think there is greater potential tension between Elder Ballard’s and Pres. Faust’s talks, which were immediately juxtaposed.
