0:27.1	Hello everybody. What a beautiful day. Thank you for coming. Thanks for coming to our first
0:32.7	annual Washington, D.C. Mormon Stories Conference. Come on, you just ate. Let's hear it. Come on!
0:48.9	Fabulous. Thank you. Thank you. You didn't know today that we are, we actually have an
0:54.2	extra special announcement today. John is here in Washington, D.C. as you know, but he is going

1:58.0	to tell our own Mormon Stories. We have such a variety of members from all locks of life,
2:05.2	and each of us have their own different thoughts on politics, philosophy, and religion. And it's
2:11.2	amazing that we can be here today with such a group in this big tent, where we love you,
2:18.5	we support you, and we claim you. I want to give an extra special thanks to Greg and Delin
