Karen Kunz talked to BYU-Idaho Radio about her devotional talk in which she tells the story of an ancestor to illustrate gospel principles.

Are you watching Hallmark Christmas movies already and it's not even Thanksgiving? You're not alone. This week's episode dives into Christmas traditions and what we love even if we haven't had Thanksgiving yet.

"Many of us will travel all over the world in our lifetimes," Charlene Campbelll, a locally licensed and nationally certified midwife, told BYU-Idaho Radio. "Why not know this? If we're in a refugee camp, if we're just in a supermarket one day and somebody is in labor and they need our help?"

"As I pondered that experience and those feelings, it was apparent nothing totally new had been received," Zeph Quirl, a faculty member in the Food and Animal Sciences Department at BYU-Idaho Radio said in his devotional. "The words or the verses were not new, and even the feelings were not unexperienced, but the Spirit used that opportunity of repetition to strengthen and reaffirm the truth and validity of many powerful Gospel principles."

"There's many miracles of the Book of Mormon, all the way from the way it was recorded, to the way it was translated, preserved and all those kind of things," Zeph Quirl, a faculty member of the Food and Animal Sciences Department at BYU-Idaho told BYU-Idaho Radio. "But, the miracle that we're going to be talking about it not so much how it came about, but actually what it does in our own personal lives."

"When we first got over there, my grandma was sick with an amoeba, which is a water born disease," Kyra Musingi said. "When my siblings and I came home, we had decided we needed to make a difference."

The final months of the year are jam packed with Halloween parties, Thanksgiving dinners and Christmas shopping, but for the 9th year in a row, the City of Rexburg took a moment to pause and honor America's heroes.

"It's important to know the facts about antibiotic use because we all want to be healthy, we all want to live good long lives and with antibiotic resistance, there's chances for diseases that have been treatable for decades to suddenly become killers once again," Nathan Mueller, a BYU-Idaho student studying chemistry told BYU-Idaho Radio. "Trying to find new antibiotics and stop the spread of these super bacteria is going to help us in the process of making sure that doesn't happen."

"To fortify something is to kind of prepare it against harm or danger or evil," Tessa Wade, founder of the organization Family Fortitude, told BYU-Idaho Radio. "But, I love fortitude because the idea of fortitude to me is you're already in it like you're already surrounded by danger or evil or harm or whatever trial, challenge it is. It's already there, it's already around you and you're already in these hard circumstances, but you have the strength and courage in yourself to overcome and learn from it and keep pushing forward."
