The church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is quite a long name -- 9 words. Elder Ballard reminds us that this name was given by the Lord for His church on the earth today and that we should help people to know this name. We should discourage the use of the name "Mormon Church". It is okay for us to be called "Mormons" but we should help people to know that we are really members of the Church of Jesus Christ. We get from Elder Ballard a definition and reasoning behind the long name and how concise it really is. We also are provided with a little history as to why we have been called Mormons (provided by early detractors to the church).
