Hi, everybody. Welcome to the Mormon newscast. It is April the 6th. I'm Rebecca Bibliateka. I am joined

today by my wonderful colleagues, Bill Reel. Did you survive conference weekend?

Probably better than RFM because I didn't watch it or listen to it. You're asking Bill.

Thanks a lot, Rebecca. I'm asking Bill first

as a lead-up to when I'm now going to ask you, RFM, did you survive conference weekend? That's the

big question. Barely. And it's not easy. And I'm not kidding either, but I'm not going to wallow

and self-pity. No, you take one for the team in ways that we cannot even imagine. Anyway, we are very excited. We're going to delve into all that. If we can go to our slides here, I wanted to, let's see, are we here. Yes, here we are. Okay. Before I read the list of what we're going to talk about, I also wanted to point out, I did say it was April 6th.

This is a very important day in Mormonism, much like a fake Easter date, you know, of March 29th.

We have a different birthday for Jesus than the rest of the world on December 25th. We say that

Jesus was born on April 6th. Although they don't mention that very much anymore.

Have you guys noticed that?

They just don't really talk about it.

You have BC1.

I think Judas would have said BC4.

I think the way he put it was, if you'd come today,

you would have reached the whole nation,

Israel in 4 BC.

Had no mass communication.

I think that's true.

And actually, I borrowed this from another podcaster, and I can't remember where I got it.

Latter-gay Saints, I think.

Anyway, happy birthday, Jesus, whether it's today or December, December 25th, we'll have to see.
