Codes and Ciphers in LDS History

I really enjoyed the lecture today!  It was so interesting to see how codes and ciphers were used in real life situations.  Sometimes it's hard for me to think of times when codes would be used, but I loved seeing how the church used them.  Something as simple as just encoding the key words or phrases really makes the letter difficult to understand.

On the whole, I understood what she was saying.  I was a little confused initially about the difference between a cipher and a code, but after she explained it, it made more sense.  I used to think they were interchangeable.   I didn't understand what the senator/Apostle was writing about that was so secretive that he needed a code.

It was very interesting! I'm glad we got to hear her speak today!
