Paisley: Hey everybody, welcome back. PAISLEY imperfect here
we're doing a make a plan Monday, and it's our second to
last one of this year, second to last one with the Book of
Mormon. So we'll do this one, and we'll do one next week, and
then we get to start the Doctrine and Covenants, which
will be super interesting next year. Okay, so this week, all we
have is Moroni chapter 10. And Moroni chapter 10 is not that
long. It is only seven minutes and 52 seconds. And as we scroll
and we look through this, there's a talk right here,
seeking knowledge by the Spirit. There's another one right here,
the truth of all things. And then there's one more right
here, the faith to ask and then to act. And then, when we keep
going, the only other two things in here are this video right
here, which you can see right there, is eight minutes and 37
seconds. And this video right here, which is three minutes and
four seconds. This is queued up because we watched it for family
night tonight, but it's only three minutes and four seconds.
So all told, we have Moroni chapter 10, and then we have
five talks. So we have six things in six days. So, I mean,
I can tell you that, on average, you're looking at nine minutes
and 14 seconds a day, but on let's see day four, which is
Thursday, on Thursday, you're looking at just like 15 minutes
and 37 seconds, whereas on Saturday, you're only looking at
three minutes and four seconds. So but there was something else
that I wanted to share with you, too. So I put all of that
together, and then I got thinking, you know, I don't know
if you guys get emails. It depends on how you have your
notifications set up with, like in your church account, but I
get these emails that tell me or give me like little tidbits of
things that I can study. And in the email that I got this
morning might have been yesterday, they said something
about a Christmas study plan. And so I found it on my phone,
and I was going to show you on my phone, but then I figured out
how to found, find it here. I did a little bit of cheating,
because I started looking at next week, and I was like, Well,
I wonder what Christmas looks like for next week, because if
they have a Christmas study plan, but then they have this
whole week dedicated to Christmas in come follow me. I
wonder if they overlap. So I clicked on this, and I just
started scrolling, just to look and look at this Christmas study
plan. And so I clicked on that, and it comes up with this page,
Christmas study plan. And so there's an about the Christmas
study plan I read through that you should go read through that
just really quick. It's a daily study plan to strengthen your
faith in Jesus Christ. It's to help bring us closer to Jesus
Christ through the Christmas season. But look, it starts on
December. 19. Today is the 16th, which means it starts in three
days, which means that it overlaps with our Come follow me
this week, Moe of Moroni 10 and those other five things. So I
came up with two different study plans. I do that sometimes I
came up with two different study plans. One is, if you just want
to do Moroni chapter 10, and you just want to do those six
things, and that one looks like this. And this is the
downloadable checklist that I will make sure is posted on the
website. There will be a link in the description and all that fun
stuff, just like usual. But this is without, so this is Plan A,
and this is without the Christmas stuff. So it's one
thing every day. Moroni, chapter 10 on Monday, seven minutes, 52
seconds, seeking knowledge by the Spirit, by Matthias held.
That is 10 minutes and 21 seconds, the truth of all
things. David, oh, my goodness, excuse me. David F Evans, just
under 10 minutes the faith to act and to ask and then to act.
By elder Eyring, President Eyring, on Thursday, that's 15,
just over 15 and a half. That's the longest one all week long.
And then on Friday is the video Moroni invites all to come into
Christ. That's eight minutes and 37 seconds. And then there's
that last video on Saturday, Moroni the Prophet. So if you
want to do it without the Christmas stuff, you can please
feel free to use this plan. You can download it. I'll make sure
that the again, I'll make sure the link is in the description.
Question, if you decide that you want to start with the Christmas
study plan that I just showed you, you can start that on
Thursday, and it looks more like this. So we get through Moroni
chapter 10 on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. We get all of
those things done Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and then we
start Christmas stuff on Thursday. So Monday, Moroni 10.
Moroni 10 and seeking knowledge by the Spirit, is just over 18
minutes. Tuesday is also, is about 18 and a half minutes with
both of those two things put together. Wednesday is about 18
and a half minutes with all of those things put together. So
you're looking at 18 minutes. Ish, a little over 18 minutes.
Call it 19. We'll round up to 19. You're looking at 19 minutes
on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and that will get you through
all of the Moroni, chapter 10, content, if you decide you want
to do it that way. Then on Thursday, we start with prophets
foretold the birth of Jesus Study Plan, which going back
here, that's this right here. And I'll click into this and
show you what this looks like here in just a second. But
Thursday, we start there. Friday, we Friday, we go to an
angel appeared to Mary and to Joseph. Saturday, Elizabeth bore
John and Zacharias testified. And then there's a Sunday one to
this too. And I don't usually do Sundays because we do family
night, and we have a whole bunch of other things that we do on
Sundays, as for our Home Center Church supported kind of goals.
But because this is specific to Christmas, specific and special
to Christmas. The Sunday one is on here. Now, the Sunday one is
only three minutes and 55 seconds. So less than four
minutes, it's not even that. It's not even that much.
Thursday is the longest one. Thursday is 21 minutes, which is
still only three minutes longer than what you're doing on
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, I'm sorry, Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Monday, 19, Tuesday, 19, Wednesday, 19, Thursday, 21
and then Friday is super short, with only just under six
minutes. And then Saturday is just over 10, and then Sunday is
just under four. And I'll show you what those look like. They
look a lot like the Come follow me stuff. That's one of the
talks. That's not what we're looking at. We are looking at
this one right here. Angels announced Jesus's birth to the
shepherd. So this one is on. Let's see That's Sunday,
December 22 so this is Sundays. Let's go back to Thursdays.
Thursday, September 9 or sorry, Thursday, December 19. Prophets
foretold the birth of Jesus. This isn't even a video, it's
just a picture. And then when you scroll down, excuse me,
there are some scriptures here to read. So when I give you
timing on these, it's estimated, I estimated about five seconds
per verse, and I did that by looking at this like, if you
click on this, if you're looking at it on your computer, and you
click on that, it'll bring the scriptures up over here, this we
could read in 10 seconds, 15, if you want to go really slow. So
all of this is for these, for the Christmas stuff. All the
timing is estimated, but you've got Isaiah, nine, six through
seven, first, Nephi, 11. Some verses there. Some verses in
Mosiah, chapter three, and Helaman chapter 14. And then
there's the video, which we've watched before. We've watched it
as part of our Come follow me back when we were talking about
Samuel Lamanite. It's 18 minutes, 27 seconds. So this
right here. This is what makes this particular day so long as
the video. And then there's a song. You can listen to a song,
and there's an activity page for your kids. There's some service
ideas down here. If you want to invite a neighbor to go to
church with you, or ask a co worker how you can help lighten
their load. Go caroling with a group. I like having carolers
come to my house. Going caroling is not really my jam, so I
probably will not be doing that. Excuse me, but service ideas
right? Also, not necessarily a checklist. Those are just to
give us some ideas. So again, all told, on Thursday, about 21
minutes, if my estimate of five seconds per verse, I can show
you some of these other verses. Make these verses are really
short. This verse, right here, is not going to take you a full
five seconds, but a longer verse might take you seven you know
what I mean. So I just kind of averaged, guesstimated about
five seconds per verse.
So. Of them get a little bit longer. So when we look at
Friday, for example, oh, there's also, if you want to read, if
you click on so if I close this, you can click up here on related
content, and it will pull in some additional stuff. So if you
still want more, you can click on that, and then you can click
on this. Dreams of Bethlehem. And that will bring up elder
Holland's talk, the dreams of Bethlehem. This one has a longer
section of scriptures in Luke also, no, this one wasn't, this
isn't the long one. There's a video here, four minutes and
seven seconds, you can create a note. I love these. Create a
note things. I love that they put these in here. You can click
on that. I'm not logged in, excuse me. You have to log in to
be able to do that, but you can. It's like leave a note for
yourself for next year. Excuse me, there's another song, a
picture, and some ideas for kids, and then more service
ideas down in here at the bottom. And all of the rest of
them are the same. So Saturday, December 21 Elizabeth board,
John and Zacharias testifies that one will be really
interesting. This is quite the group of scriptures right here,
five through 25, and then 67, through 80. When you click on
that and it brings it up over here on the side, that's quite
the, quite the section of scriptures. Um, also, if you
don't want to read it over there on the side, you can click on
this up here and we'll take you directly there. There's another
video right here. This is Elizabeth when she was pregnant,
and Mary goes to visit her, and they rejoice together five
minutes and six seconds. These are not these are not very long,
and I don't think that they're intended to be long. I think
that the the intention is to help us find Jesus Christ in the
Christmas season and to help us stay focused. I don't know why
they picked December 19 to start. It's not like it's the 12
days of Christmas. It's not like it's exactly a week before I
don't know. I don't know. Maybe it's written down somewhere and
I just haven't seen it yet. Maybe it was in the Christmas
study plan and I missed it. It's totally possible Anyway, okay,
so please pick either this study plan or this one, whichever one
is going to work for you. We're just trying to do our best right
one little bit at a time. Pick whichever study plan is going to
work for you. You can average. It's still feel silly to say you
can average nine minutes and 14 seconds when this study plan is
like this one right here is 10 minutes, this one is 15 and then
this one is three. That's why it averages out at about nine,
right? Or you can pick this study plan and average about 23
minutes every day, so that's more than double. But I think
that the time is worth it if you can make the time. It's also
Christmas season and things are crazy busy for everybody. Thank
you, you guys. Thank you for being here. I saw a comment or
two about getting back into the normal episodes. I really do
want to do that. I need to rethink some things and but I'm
planning to come back and do some more regular episodes
again. Thank you for being here, thank you for coming back, and I
hope that you enjoy your holiday. Merry Christmas. You.
