Today on the show, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is coming! A new missionary handbook is here - what does that mean? Pres. M. Russell Ballard talks with the Associated Press about The Church and the Boy Scouts (and confirms some heresay!) and finally, BYU-Idaho will no longer require Medicaid. Why is this a big deal? All that plus more on the report!
