My dear brothers and sisters, what a privilege it is to welcome you.

This news program seeks to inform, uplift, and inspire.

So let's get to it.

So whether you are tuning in from the heart of Utah or joining us from around the world,

your favorite news program starts now, where news meets insight and the stories of our

faith unfold. Those intros, just give me flashbacks to watching conference over the last

couple decades. They're just fabulous. Welcome everybody to the Mormon newscast. It is Monday. It is April 21st. It's 6 p.m. Mountain Time. It's sometime wherever you guys are. And we're here together. I have my wonderful co-host. I have Radio Free Mormon. How are you and how is your Easter? Well, the song says it's 5 o'clock somewhere, but it literally is 5 o'clock here. So, cheers to you, Rebecca. Good evening. And how was your Easter? I'm checking on both of you. Oh, it's great. I had a wonderful Easter weekend. That's because we did the Easter egg hunt on Saturday because of conflicts of one or another, but Saturday was the day with the good weather. Perfect. I love it. And Bill,

how are you and how was your Easter weekend? My Easter weekend was, I'm doing great. My Easter weekend was

exceptional. I was in Vegas spending time with our dear friend Randall Bell. Oh, I can't think of

anything better. Hi, Randy. I'm trying not to be jealous.

Exactly. And mine was also fabulous. There was a little bit of rain and snow where I was, but other than that, it was all good. So anyway, we have a, I was looking through the slides earlier, you know, kind of prepping. And we have, this is quite the show. There's going to be a lot here to talk about.

And it's going to be open to public comment. I'm going to talk about that a little bit later in the show. You're not going to want to

miss this. So we'll be putting out more information, but just kind of make a mental note, put it on
