EP 542 – I Don’t Need You, Old Seventy

Join Geoff Openshaw and Jared Gillins as they break down a healthy mix of Latter-day Saint news, a veritable grab-bag, if you will. And you will! Whether it's talk Church administration, missionaries on television in Europe, statistical breakdowns of membership globally, or grading the Church's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, it's all here. * For the first time, Area Seventies were released outside of General Conference * Former Utah governor and cabinet member under President George W. Bush, Mike Leavitt, has been appointed the president of the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square * The Church News has a nice little map of countries with the most Latter-day Saints * The activities committee might make a return in your ward! * The man who tried to rob missionaries for drugs has been sentenced * A missionary appeared on TV in Kosovo, speaking Albanian (and we get into linguistics) * What's that? A cross on the Lima Peru Temple? * San Salvador Brazil Temple breaks ground * What grade would you give the Church's response to the pandemic?
