finished the book

I recently finished the book... It gave new meaning to "Utah Mormons" I admire the grit and courage of settling Utah and keeping the faith of the community strong. I do wonder why Jeddy didn't try and get the Gentiles to join the church but kept things very separate. Was it just me, or was he quite mean? It has certainly made me reevaluate religion and my purpose here. I also just finished taking a Religion, Rights, and Responsibilities class and it was fun to see how the two intertwine and how I will be teaching it all in my class this year.
