I'm going to go and Well, I've been thinking too much.

That I've been thinking too much.

That I've been thinking too much.

See right, everyone's talking about money.

So I've got to give me some.

This is infants on thrones.

This is infants on thrones the philosophies of men mingled with humans.

We are the Corps.

Hey everyone it's Bob. I'm here to give you a quick intro on the

episode you're about to listen to today. So Randy's going to lead us in

prayer or I mean rather he's going to lead this discussion with myself and our special guest Aaron, a listener who had quite the interesting essay.

So we're going to be taking a closer look at the Mormon Church's

perpetual education fund, which is a program that Gordon B. Hinckly started way back in 2001.

In the Church's own words, the Perpetual Education Fund is a bold initiative to help youth

in developing areas rise out of the poverty they and generations before them have known.

But in reality, this wouldn't be a super interesting

discussion if that were true. So you're going to hear us talk about what it

really is, which is a loan program. It's basically the church acting as a bank and

loaning out money to poor people in several countries and making money off of them

but there's a lot more to it it's fascinating so structurally we're going to start with Aaron's essay and then we'll switch over to the panel discussion and then we decided to leave at the end to leave on 15 minutes or so of after discussion.

So without further ado, take it away, Aaron. We propose a plan, a plan which we believe is inspired by the Lord. The Church is establishing a fund largely from the

contributions of faithful Latter-day Saints who have and will contribute for this purpose.
