Ballard visited Ontario in April. From the church newsroom:
President Ballard Says First Vision ‘Most Remarkable’ Event in History
https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/in-canada-president-ballard-says-first-vision-most-remarkable-event-in-history“The most remarkable thing in the history of the world happened in the Sacred Grove in 1820,” he said. “The heavens opened.”
“Our message is the most thrilling and most profound and most exhilarating message that I know of,” says Apostle.
“Speaking of Joseph Smith, President Ballard said, “I love him.” He asked all to carry on “this great work that he brought to pass.”

And they want to know why mainstream Christians, at least, consider that "Mormons aren't Christian". I know many Mormons feel that opinion is a tremendous insult to them.
But proclaiming Joseph's sacred grove account as the greatest event in human history (as opposed to what mainstream Christians believe) and announcing his love for Joseph just doesn't bring him or Mormon beliefs into the fold.
Maybe they like it that way. They certainly stand apart.
Speaking of loving JS: Ewww.
As for being thrilling, profound and exhilarating - he's got to get out more.
