The fun thing about being a dad of teenage sons is the meaningful conversations you get to have. Why just yesterday I had the following heartwarming conversation with my son Seth:
Me: "Hey Seth, what are you reading?"
Seth: "A book."
Yep, the joys of parenthood and connecting. You've got to remember to savor precious moment such as these.

Let's be quick to hearken to every request just like Helaman's "sons" (Alma 57:21), and perpaps like them EVERY life will be spared.
Our prophet happens to have have been a very skilled and very famous medical doctor. This was something he gave up when he was called to be an apostle. Years later we have a COVID-19 pandemic... just when a medical doctor happens to be the prophet.
