Sister Sheri L. Dew shared key events in the life of President Ezra Taft Benson that prepared him for the challenges and opportunities he would experience later in his life.
A slight correction: At 41:40 Dew proposes that Benson was the first to address drug use in General Conference. The use of drugs (including opium) has been addressed in General Conference at least once per decade between 1850 and 1930, starting with George A. Smith in 1855. Heber J. Grant addressed cocaine in 1914 from the pulpet. I realize that this was not an intentional error, but it is nonetheless inaccurate.
Wonderful, I love this woman so inspiring.
Thanks Sister Dew. We adore you and appreciate your efforts for all things good. :D
SUCH AN INSPIRATION ...IN EVERY WAY! Thank you for being a stalwart, and an immovable force for good!!

Very impressive lecture! I wonder if she will give a lecture on her second biography?
