1. During this lecture, the only thing that was hard for me to comprehend was the Deseret Alphabet. I guess every sound had one symbol only, and this to me just didn't seem like it would be possible to turn into an alphabet. There are just so many different sounds you can make phonetically, it seems like you couldn't manage to make a symbol for each sound. But I am a little biased I'm sure, since I only know English and it's alphabet.
2. One thing that I thought was really interesting was the crypted names in the Doctrine and Covenants. It was super cool that they substituted names with such unusual ones, but funny that they didn't keep their own key so there were some names that no one remembered. They had to piece things together years after to remember the names.
