| 0:00.0 | Come, come, you saints, no toil, no labor, fear, but with joy, |
| 0:29.0 | joy. Okay, so let me, let me grab onto your talents as a lawyer and go back to |
| 0:37.2 | this mark versus curse and the changes that they recently made in the book of |
| 0:42.4 | Mormon, because quite frankly when I looked at the changes, I didn't quite get it. |
| 0:48.2 | I was like, well, it still says the same thing to me. I didn't understand the |
| 0:52.6 | big progress there. Can you maybe help me out with that as far as explaining |
| 1:01.6 | how, you know, how you see that being separated and what those two things mean? |
