Good morning, Provo.
CASFB hosted an event on Friday night where a couple dozen Provo residents experienced homelessness scenarios (participants walked a guided route to learn about local support services amid rising housing concerns).
A grass fire near Saratoga Springs Temple on Saturday afternoon forced the evacuation of about 12 homes in Saratoga Springs and parts of Eagle Mountain, with firefighters using helicopters to battle 175 acres of flames as heavy smoke hindered emergency access.
Two Utah senators questioned a Pentagon update that excluded 'Christian' from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' designation; Senator John Curtis (R-Utah) said he will ask for a correction to properly reflect the church’s identity.
Utah lawmakers and church members expressed frustration Saturday after the Department of War issued a revised list that grouped most Christian groups together but did not feature The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints by its full name.
