As a cousin, thanks for the courage to keep an open mind and being true to self in pursuit of actual truth in all things.

A response to “You have brought your family troubles upon yourself as you broke your Covenant” could be, “I was not given a chance for informed consent at the time I entered my Covenant. I have since learned a lot I didn’t know then.”
Love to see Mitch do Joseph Smith asking a 14-year-old for a hot date!
Very fun and engaging interview. My favorite part was when John asked if Mitch had children… and Mitch’s face and “countenance” completely changed to love and pride.
