this video is of a very impressive young woman who is a student at harvard, from idaho, and she answers some questions about the LDS religion while on a panel. she is amazing! like jon said, "she is what i hope to become someday and she is only 20!" she very simply and confidently talks about what she believes without being condemning or condescending in any way. feel free to share it with any of your friends who may have questions about what "mormons" believe.
in a recent survey that the church had done, (this is information from Elder Perry's visit last month) roughly 50% of the people surveyed didn't know what any of the beliefs of the LDS church were, 47% of the people had a negative opinion of the LDS church, and 30% didn't believe we are Christians. i was surprised. i thought more people than that knew what the LDS people are all about. i am surprised that 50% of the people didn't live around someone who they knew was a member of the church. hmmm! i'm sure i am going to be surprised about lots of things over the next three years!
anyway, when you have time, enjoy this! rachel is amazing...if any of you know her...let's set tod up with her:)! he thinks she is hot!

thanks for sharing that! but, i think tod might be too late... that guy sitting next to her thinks she's pretty hot too. :) maybe he'll convert.
p.s.. i'm really surprised that they didn't ask any "prop 8" type questions... maybe that's on another clip.
Tod thinks that her hotness comes from her intelligence and spirituality. And yes, Tod is all about having someone help get him in touch with her. We need some raw "Harvard" intelligence in our family.
loved that! thanks for sharing. sorry i have no connections with any harvard intelligence. good luck tod!
