I'm your host, Lindsay,

and tonight I'm bringing on two good friends, and I hope we won't be too silly because we have been laughing at ridiculous Mormon studies jokes before we hit record, which is a shame, because

that's where the real tea is spilled. But I want to welcome back Christina Rosetti, who has been on

the podcast before. Christina,

can you say hello? Hello. And here for the first time ever is my good friend Sarah Rains.

Sarah, can you say hello? Hi. All right, Christina, since you've been on the program before,

on the program, will you tell us a little bit about yourself? I'm a doctoral candidate at the

University of California, Riverside, and I'm currently finishing up a dissertation on Mormonism and varying

kinds of authority. And one of my favorite things about Christina is I have gotten her addicted to

Diet Coke soda drinks here. It's so true.

And both her and I enable each other with our bad behavior.

So you're welcome world.

She is a Catholic who has now entered our Mormon ways.

And we hope to baptize her very soon.

Okay.

And Sarah, why don't you tell us who you are and how we roped you into this?

I am a midwife practicing in the Salt Lake area. I am a home birth midwife. That's my specialty.

And I'm also a lactation specialist. So I spend my days helping women that are pregnant and in the

postpartum period of their lives. And I am roped into

this because I am a midwife and I was at your home and you said, hey, we're doing this podcast.

Well, so it predates that. We did a historical cemetery tour with some other Mormon scholars.

And I think that that's what got you into trouble in the first place.
