Thanks for sharing this. The part where Elder Ephraim said the foundation of life is Christ really stuck with me—simple but hits home when you're dealing with everyday troubles on the job or at home. Wish I could've been there to hear the questions people asked him.

Yes, I agree with Basil. "The foundation of life is Christ" I have heard it many times, but when you say it in the midst of difficulties in the electrician's job, like me, it takes on a different weight. Shame they don't write some of the questions they asked him, I would have liked to see how he answered practical issues.

Thanks for the article. I especially remember how Elder Ephraim emphasized that the foundation of life is Christ; this really helps when the store is bustling all day long and there are customers one after another. It’s a pity that we didn’t include at least a couple of questions from the audience; it would have been interesting to read how he answered.
