Me, too. Although I am not a Mormon, the repeal of 2015 baptism rules is a positive step forward and illustrates the practical wisdom of Joseph Smith, who created the safety valve in the church's doctrine to keep up with social change and new ideas.

Awesome! It was a mere 41 years ago that the Mormon church decided that the curse of blackness would no longer keep black men from being in the church priesthood. I was born under the covenant into that church and remember from my youth being taught that the descendants of Cain were cursed with black skin. But that one day they'd be white and delightsome.

So now the church has decided to no longer punish the children for the sins of the parents. What a great day for the innocents!!!!!

That have modernized the holy garments. No longer the cumbersome one-piece affair. Now they come in a two piece version.
