WEBVTT 00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:07.800 Paisley: Hey, everybody. Paisley, imperfect, and I am 00:00:07.800 --> 00:00:15.060 here today for our very first make a plan Monday for 2025 we 00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:19.320 are finishing up 2024 there are only two days left right, Monday 00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:23.120 and Tuesday of 2024 and they got us started right away on the 00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:28.820 restoration of the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ, or 00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:32.480 as the chapter is titled, The Promised restoration goes 00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:36.080 forward. So let's take a look and see what we've got. Notice, 00:00:36.080 --> 00:00:39.740 it's not doctrine and covenant section one, it's the 00:00:39.740 --> 00:00:42.580 restoration of the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and 00:00:42.940 --> 00:00:45.340 something to think about. I've looked through some of these. 00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:49.900 I've looked through all of January. I started looking into 00:00:49.900 --> 00:00:53.080 February a little bit trying to decide how I wanted to structure 00:00:53.080 --> 00:00:55.840 the Make a plan Mondays for the Doctrine and Covenants, because 00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:00.060 they have changed it up a little bit in a really good way, in a 00:01:00.060 --> 00:01:05.820 really cool way. And something to keep in mind, something that 00:01:05.820 --> 00:01:08.640 struck me as I was looking at all of this, there are only 138 00:01:09.540 --> 00:01:12.300 sections of the Doctrine and Covenants, but there are 365 00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:18.180 days in a year. So we are not going to have a section of the 00:01:18.180 --> 00:01:21.860 Doctrine and Covenants every single day. In fact, if you look 00:01:21.860 --> 00:01:26.480 over here on the left side, we have section one, which is 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:29.480 January 6 through 12th, and then we don't do section two until 00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:33.320 January 20, which is two weeks later, or sorry, just Well, 00:01:33.320 --> 00:01:40.120 yeah, two weeks later and January 13 through 19th. Has two 00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:44.440 different things for us to look at, which we will do when we get 00:01:44.440 --> 00:01:48.640 there. Let's not jump ahead too far. We'll stick for now. We'll 00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.520 stick with December 30 through January 5. And just look at 00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:55.600 this. I just wanted to point out that there are fewer sections of 00:01:55.600 --> 00:01:58.060 the Doctrine and Covenants than there are days in the year. So 00:01:58.060 --> 00:02:03.360 we're going to get to study a lot of extra, a lot of other 00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:06.660 things as well throughout the year. All right, let's see what 00:02:06.660 --> 00:02:10.740 we got here. So we have the Come follow me book, and then we have 00:02:10.740 --> 00:02:14.580 hear him right here from President Nelson. And then we 00:02:14.580 --> 00:02:18.060 have, you may remember the monument of words that they 00:02:18.060 --> 00:02:24.980 created. So they talked about a monument back in 2020 when it 00:02:24.980 --> 00:02:27.740 was getting close to 200 years since Joseph Smith's first 00:02:27.740 --> 00:02:31.340 vision, they talked about perhaps creating a monument for 00:02:31.340 --> 00:02:35.420 it, and decided to create a monument of words instead. And 00:02:35.420 --> 00:02:39.020 so they wrote a document titled The restoration of the fullness 00:02:39.020 --> 00:02:42.760 of the gospel of Jesus Christ, a bicentennial proclamation to the 00:02:42.760 --> 00:02:46.480 world. So that is also linked right here. And something that 00:02:46.480 --> 00:02:51.280 I've added to the study plan for this week, if we keep going, 00:02:51.640 --> 00:02:54.880 there's a talk here by Elder Gong, all nations, kindreds and 00:02:54.880 --> 00:03:00.360 tongues. That'll be cool. Also, November 2020, there's the 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:03.900 restoration proclamation, which is the same thing as this right 00:03:03.900 --> 00:03:09.000 here. I only put that in once, and then we have Joseph Smith 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:13.920 history, chapter one, verses five through 20. I did not 00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:20.280 include that because that's coming up over here in January, 00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:24.800 later on in January, verses five through 20 will be included in 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.740 this section right here. If you want to get a head start, feel 00:03:27.740 --> 00:03:33.500 free. And then, if we keep going, we have an opportunity to 00:03:33.500 --> 00:03:38.480 create our own notes in here. So what do you know about Christ's 00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:42.880 New Testament Church? We you can go through and look at Matthew 00:03:42.880 --> 00:03:45.700 Mark, Luke acts first, Corinthians and Ephesians, and 00:03:45.700 --> 00:03:49.060 create your own note things that you learned about Christ's New 00:03:49.060 --> 00:03:52.600 Testament Church. And as you're doing that, think about how that 00:03:52.600 --> 00:03:57.760 compares with the church that you know today. Then the section 00:03:57.820 --> 00:04:03.480 or the next piece is to look at like section 18, section 107, 00:04:04.020 --> 00:04:08.160 5170, and create your notes based on what you find in the 00:04:08.160 --> 00:04:10.680 Doctrine and Covenants versus what you found in the New 00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:15.960 Testament. And then there's more questions, prompting answers. 00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:19.380 Really, in my opinion, it looks like they're really trying to 00:04:19.380 --> 00:04:23.960 get us to think this through and really solidify our testimony. 00:04:24.020 --> 00:04:27.260 Because remember what President Nelson has said over and over 00:04:27.260 --> 00:04:30.680 again, that it will be impossible for us to survive 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.680 spiritually without the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost. 00:04:34.580 --> 00:04:38.720 So I think that they're really trying to help us solidify that 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:43.540 foundational testimony. Here's another piece, a perfect 00:04:43.540 --> 00:04:47.320 brightness of hope. This one is from elder Holland. And then if 00:04:47.320 --> 00:04:50.800 you want to dive into the topics and questions on the apostasy 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:52.960 and the Restoration of the gospel, there's a link right 00:04:52.960 --> 00:04:55.900 there for that. I did not include that in my checklist. 00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:59.680 There's another talk down here from President Uchtdorf. Are you 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.760 sleep? Through the restoration I'm kind of actually looking 00:05:02.760 --> 00:05:05.160 forward to going through that one again. That was May in 2014 00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:08.640 and I honestly don't remember that one. There's another link 00:05:08.640 --> 00:05:11.340 to the restoration proclamation. There's another link to the 00:05:11.340 --> 00:05:14.280 restoration proclamation. I think they kind of maybe want us 00:05:14.280 --> 00:05:18.540 to study that this week. Just a thought. And then there's 00:05:18.540 --> 00:05:22.280 another talk here from elder Cook, the blessing of continuing 00:05:22.280 --> 00:05:24.980 revelation to prophets and personal revelation to God our 00:05:24.980 --> 00:05:29.420 lives. So we get to talk about or learn about Revelation, 00:05:29.420 --> 00:05:31.760 Revelation as it comes to the Prophet. Joseph Smith, 00:05:32.840 --> 00:05:38.180 Revelation as it comes to ourselves. Excuse me. And then 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:42.220 here's a quick six minute testimony from President Nelson. 00:05:43.060 --> 00:05:47.380 There's again, restoration proclamation. Joseph Smith had 00:05:47.380 --> 00:05:53.620 questions. It's okay to have questions. Have questions. We 00:05:53.620 --> 00:05:57.100 can look at Joseph Smith history again. I did not include those 00:05:57.100 --> 00:05:59.740 in the checklist because those will be included in a couple of 00:05:59.740 --> 00:06:02.340 weeks. And then there's a children's song. This is my 00:06:02.340 --> 00:06:05.760 beloved Son, which is a really good song. There's an activity 00:06:05.760 --> 00:06:07.980 page down here at the bottom. We'll look at that here in a 00:06:08.820 --> 00:06:12.840 second. Another link to the restoration proclamation. And 00:06:12.840 --> 00:06:15.720 then there's this video, two and a half minutes long. We actually 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:20.600 watched that for family night tonight. We like to start our 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:25.520 week on Sunday night with a quick video, kind of an intro 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.600 for the week. And then sometimes I bring stuff up with the kids 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.640 throughout the week, like, Hey, I learned this really cool thing 00:06:31.640 --> 00:06:36.020 about Joseph Smith, or last year with being the Book of Mormon, I 00:06:36.020 --> 00:06:39.440 really like this thing. I read about Moroni, things like that. 00:06:40.460 --> 00:06:43.600 There's a printable copy of the Restoration of the fullness of 00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.180 the gospel of Jesus Christ, if you decide you want to print 00:06:46.180 --> 00:06:49.000 that and hang it in your home somewhere. And then here's the 00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:53.020 activity page that was referenced before. It's got 00:06:53.020 --> 00:06:57.100 different sections and how the gospel was restored, from the 00:06:57.100 --> 00:07:01.080 first vision to receiving the priesthood and keys in the 00:07:01.080 --> 00:07:07.260 temple and all of that. So that is everything that's in here. 00:07:07.260 --> 00:07:12.180 And let me show you how I broke it down for myself. My plan 00:07:12.180 --> 00:07:16.800 looks like this, on Monday I'm going to do hear him, excuse me, 00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:20.780 zoom in on that a little bit. Monday, I'm going to do hear him 00:07:20.780 --> 00:07:24.260 with President Nelson on Tuesday, the restoration of the 00:07:24.260 --> 00:07:28.100 fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. And you can read, watch 00:07:28.100 --> 00:07:32.300 or listen to that Wednesday, all nations, kindreds and tongues 00:07:32.300 --> 00:07:36.260 from elder Gong and the video about the Doctrine and Covenants 00:07:36.260 --> 00:07:39.800 The Lord speaks again. And that's that super short video at 00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:43.120 the end. Honestly, I probably won't watch it again on 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:47.020 Wednesday, but I I added it here just in case I feel like I need 00:07:47.020 --> 00:07:50.920 something extra. Thursday is a perfect brightness of hope from 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:54.340 elder Holland. Friday, are you sleeping through the restoration 00:07:54.340 --> 00:07:57.880 from elder Uchtdorf? And then last but not least, Saturday, 00:07:57.880 --> 00:08:00.300 the blessing of continuing revelation to prophets and 00:08:00.300 --> 00:08:06.000 personal revelation to guide our lives. So on average, it's about 00:08:06.060 --> 00:08:12.240 18 minutes a day. Hear him from President Nelson, is 24 and a 00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:16.920 half minutes. That's the longest day. The restoration of the 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.300 fullness of Jesus Christ, that's nine and a half minutes. If you 00:08:20.300 --> 00:08:25.040 listen to it, there was a video for it. The video is only six 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:28.580 minutes, so it just depends on which link you click on. One's 00:08:28.580 --> 00:08:31.100 going to be nine and nine and a half, and the other one's going 00:08:31.100 --> 00:08:33.560 to be six. So one of them probably has some music in it, 00:08:33.560 --> 00:08:37.640 or something cool like that. All nations, kindreds and tongues 00:08:37.640 --> 00:08:42.220 from elder Gong is almost 15. It's just barely under 15 00:08:42.220 --> 00:08:45.400 minutes. And then that video about the Doctrine and 00:08:45.400 --> 00:08:50.140 Covenants, that was two and a half. So that's about 1617, and 00:08:50.140 --> 00:08:53.680 a half minutes. And then speaking of 17 and a half 00:08:53.680 --> 00:08:56.200 minutes, that's how long a perfect brightness of hope is. 00:08:56.680 --> 00:09:00.780 That one is 17 minutes and 45 seconds. Are you sleeping 00:09:00.780 --> 00:09:05.340 through? The restoration is 18 and a half and then the one with 00:09:05.340 --> 00:09:10.920 the longest title is the shortest talk. That one is 14 00:09:10.980 --> 00:09:13.500 minutes and 10 seconds, the blessing of continuing 00:09:13.500 --> 00:09:16.200 revelation to prophets and personal revelation to guide our 00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:22.520 lives. So all told, on average, about 18 minutes a day, with the 00:09:22.520 --> 00:09:25.100 longest one being that very first one on Monday, hear him 00:09:25.100 --> 00:09:29.900 from President Nelson. Anyway, that's how I have broken up my 00:09:29.900 --> 00:09:33.140 week. What does yours look like? I appreciate you guys being 00:09:33.140 --> 00:09:35.600 here. Thank you so much, and I'll see you again soon. 00:09:40.820 --> 00:09:40.940 Unknown: You.
