SALT LAKE CITY — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints recently announced the creation of 58 new missions. With the expansion, two well-known Utahns have been called to lead over those assignments as mission presidents.
Former gubernatorial candidate, Peter Cooke, has been assigned to be the new mission president of the Washington, D.C. North Mission.
When Cooke ran against Gov. Herbert in the Nov. 2012 election for state governor, he was very vocal about his affiliation with the LDS Church.
"I am not the typical Democrat," Cooke said. "I'm an active member of the LDS Church. As you see here, I'm a devoted father and a husband, a strong family man and a believer in common values, in Utah values."
Democrats are apostates, right bcspace?
That said, with the Book of Mormon, we are not dealing with a civilization with no written record. What we are dealing with is a written record with no civilization. (Runtu, Feb 2015)

The fundamental truths contained in this off-the-wall observation is really, really threatening, I understand very well.
Nothing is going to startle us more when we pass through the veil to the other side than to realize how well we know our Father [in Heaven] and how familiar his face is to us
