Hello and welcome to another edition of Mormon Stories Podcast.

My name is John Delin. I'm very excited to have you with us today for a very special feature.

Today we have with us a long time listener approached me a few weeks ago about discussing the issue of divorce.

He comes from an LDS family and that family experienced a divorce several years ago and he felt like it could be interesting for us to bring all of his family onto the podcast, including both his parents who are now in other marriages.

This is to talk about divorce and several aspects of divorce from how it's affected the family, how the LDS church did or didn't play a role, lessons that can be learned and where everybody is today.

So that is going to be today's topic on the podcast and I would like to do a roll call and beginning in a patriarchal order.

I would like to first introduce Papa. Papa, thank you for joining us today.

You're welcome. Papa is the former patriarch of this family. Mama, are you there?

I am.

Thanks for joining us, Mom. Thanks.

And Glenn, you're the grandmaster of this orchestration. Are you there?

I'm for a puppet master, but I'll take grand. Yeah, puppet master. Okay. Glenn, thanks for joining us.

And for coming up with this idea, Jeff, Glenn's brother, are you there, Jeff?

Yes, I am.

Jeff, thanks for coming on. Hello.

And we have Melissa.

Hey, that's me.

Is there any sibling missing? No, we have a younger brother that was between me and Jeff who passed away after just two or me.

Yeah. Okay.

And he's probably with us in spirit because we knew that from time to time, but yeah, no, we're all complete.
