We're not here to entertain folks, least of all the youth. We're here to raise a righteous people with strong testimonies of the truth. There are fun ways to do that, and I endorse them. But we're not going to be able to compete with the pomp and show that the world offers. Those who come to the gospel will have to accept that the rewards for doing so are more sublime.
Perhap my inarticulate expressions confuse you.

It would not be possible to put together media quality productions but slipshod stuff often seen won't cut it either. We can and should do better.
