Henry Eyring, father of current apostle Henry B. Eyring, was a world-renowned chemist who became the Church’s unofficial spokesman on scientific matters. The following segment is a good example of the excellent tact and patience that Brother Eyring exhibited when disagreeing with Church leaders.

Last winter when I got to visit Kaua’i and Maui with Emily, we listened to a lot of local radio. One of the artists that caught my ear was young Maui native Anuhea, whose smooth, sassy Island sound fit the feeling of trekking across Hawai’i perfectly.
