Guest Speaker, due on September 10

1. I struggled with the concept of the Deseret Alphabet. If it was something the Saints deemed important enough to develop, why is it not used anymore? It seems to me that it would still be valuable for children to learn in addition to the English Alphabet.

2. The whole presentation really held my attention. Cryptography isn't something I'd readily connect with church history. The speaker really opened my eyes to the importance of ciphers in the history and development in our Church. My favorite cipher discussed was the pig pen cipher, mostly because it looked almost like some middle eastern language, but is actually constructed very simply.
