Although Idaho is currently a Republican stronghold, it was not always that way. The Democratic Party had a strong presence in the original Idaho territory. This was in part due to the small but significant Mormon minority in the state voting in bloc for the party (yes, Mormons were mostly Democrats in the late 19th century).

There have been times when I gushed with tears of gratitude for the privilege of being a father to such amazing children. Coming to the end of this portion of the journey, I can truly say the overall experience has been happy and blessed. So, if my destination was joy, why was there so much difficulty, grief, and sorrow along the way?

In his closing remarks, President Dallin H. Oaks invited the world to participate in this event.

We know personal revelation is crucial to living our lives to the fullest, but so often that revelation appears blocked or stunted or entirely absent. How can we access it more often? Here is one practice that the world so often overlooks that we need to reestablish in our lives:
