I saw this video and I thought she was wonderful. I was very impressed with how mature and tactful she was. But, also how courageous she was in expressing her conviction of the gospel. It also seemed that those sitting with her were very open and responsive to her remarks. She did a great job.

and I thought the young woman was very mature and well-spoken. I did notice, though, that right after she went through a long segment about how Mormons do not believe that all other religions are wrong (just incomplete), she was asked about the 1st vision. She answered that Joseph Smith went into the woods to pray to see which religion he should join, and he was told to join none of them because they were all wrong. That's kind of why people outside of the church have such a problem with Mormons.

Rachel did an excellent job of fielding some tough questions. Unlike a biased media who would use religion to divide (religious conflict sells more papers), the strength of this forum at Harvard was its respect for religious diversity.
