EP 416 – Donny Is the Peacock


Listen Later



[dropcap]R[/dropcap]eal-life sisters Tiffany and Arianne are back for their monthly venture into the titillating world of suburban Idaho womanly Latter-day Saintness!

In life news, Arianne organizes her ward's first Relief Society birthday dinner in years. It seems many wards are doing it for the first time in year. What about yours?

Tiffany's kids are straight up doing mock disciplinary councils in seminary. Have you heard of this? This comes straight out of CES via release-time seminary. All live the council of love.

It's a bit of a pop culture week (which, admittedly, we love). We're everywhere!

After one such run was when they found out about the death of President Monson. We also learn about how President Nelson receives revelation. How neat!

The Church news has a full article, but watch the video below.



Care to get into some early conference rumors? What are the ones you've heard? Testimony meeting getting the ax? Missions decreasing to 18 months? Word of Wisdom changes?

There's a new letter out dictating the terms of the Church's and Boy Scouts eventual divorce. Who gets the terrier?!

Reimbursements have gone electronic! You now don't have to receive a check from the ward clerk and can instead receive your funds right back in your bank account.

LDS Living does it again! They have the story from a TLC program about
