Paisley: Hey everybody, Paisley imperfect here and today is
another makeup plan Monday. We're going to get back to other
regular episodes here pretty soon. I'm kind of excited, and
I'm going to show you why, either today or probably the
week of the 20th. Anyway, I'm getting kind of excited about
what's coming up. Okay, let's look at January 6 through the
12th. Hearken O ye people for Doctrine and Covenants. Section
One, fun fact, section one was not the first section written.
Section two actually was but section one was, if you look
right here in this second paragraph, the Lord's preface,
or introduction to these revelations. So he gave this a
little bit later. The Section Two was written in 1823 and
Section One was written in 1831 so like eight years later, just
kind of a fun fact, something to know as we get started. And
speaking on getting started, let's do it. So we've got
doctrine covenants, section one here. And then as we continue to
scroll, you can see, like there's lots of section one,
verse 614, 37, See also introduction to the Doctrine and
Covenants. So I included that in our plan for this week as well
verses four through six. Lots of verses section one, see saints,
saints. Volume One, pages 140 through 43 that's going to come
up a little bit later. Insights in section one, some more
verses. There's a hymn, cool picture of sustaining a prophet.
Section one, more verses. Here's a talk by President Nelson.
Embrace the future with faith. And then there's this video by
the adorable elder Kyrin. It might be the accent. I don't
know. I just, he's just cute. Uh, section, there's section,
there's video three and a half minutes, and that's really it,
except there's this really cool section. So I am going to talk
about it today. There's this really cool section, people,
places and events that they have included from this week going
forward. It was not included in last week's so but they are
including it this week. Joseph Smith, Jr, Book of Commandments,
Doctrine and Covenants. And then you can click to see more. And
when you do that, it brings brings up the reference section
over here on the right. Give some historical background. You
can look at William McClellan's five questions for DNC 165, so
these are the five quote. These are the sections that he had
questions on saints, the story of The Church of Jesus Christ,
of Latter Day. Saints, Volume One, chapter 13, the gift has
returned. And then there's a list of people. And when you
click on these people, with the exception of Joseph Smith Jr,
when you click on these people, it will take you to a bio page,
just a short bio page about each one of the people that are also
talked about or were around when that particular section of the
Doctrine and Covenants was written super cool, right?
People, places and events. So places John and Elsa Johnson
home and the Ohio historic sites have actually been to the John
Johnson farm. My husband grew up in Cleveland, and Kirtland is a
stone's throw from Cleveland. It's not very far at all. And
when he was it, when he was a youth, when he was in young
men's, they used to do service projects at the Johnson, the
John Johnson farm. So he's taken me there, and we've gone to see
that. If you click on that, it will take you to more
information about that particular site. And if there's
something there, if there's if there's an opportunity for you
to go visit it, it will list the hours. Tells you when the last
tour starts. It's closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas, New
Years. Here's the physical address. You can look at it on a
map. You can call if you want to, and you can submit for group
reservations. And then there's a little blurb about some of the
things that happened there. You can scroll through pictures,
check out people taking a tour if you want to. Anyway, this
section, people, places and events is super cool. Events
timeline, placing each revelation in the context of key
events in the church's first century. This is so cool. So if
you click on View the chronology, it will give you
1805, to 1823, uh. So notice also, it will give you the
Doctrine and Covenants. It gives you the section, sorry, it gives
you a link to the section in within the timeline. So knowing
that we already, I mean, I've already mentioned it right.
Section one was actually written in 1831 so if you keep
scrolling, you can see that section one. Let's see if we can
find it real quick. Where is section one? I don't remember
the month. There it is, November 1, 1831 doctrine and covenant
section one. There was a conference held at Hiram, Ohio,
approved, approved the publication of Joseph Smith's
revelations as the Book of Commandments. So during that
conference, that's when it was approved. And then Joseph Smith
received the Lord's preface to the revelations, which became
then doctrine and covenant section one. I love this kind of
stuff. I love being able to put things in context and timelines.
So if you're interested in looking at that, you can go
check that out as well. And then there's extra topics, Book of
Commandments, Doctrine and Covenants, early missionaries,
revelations of Joseph Smith and sealings. And then sources, if
you want to go look at the other sources as well. So, oh, we
didn't keep going ideas for teaching children. There's,
there isn't really anything else in here. There's a primary song,
if you want to go listen to follow the Prophet, that's
always a fun one. And then there's this beautiful piece of
artwork and an activity page, if you want to do the activity page
as well, okay, because they've restructured. I don't know that
they've restructured, but because the Doctrine and
Covenants is structured differently from how we study
the Book of Mormon last year, I'm going to do things a little
bit differently on my end as well. I will continue to create
at least one checklist. This week, I've created two. I'm
going to create two for as long as I can, for as long as I have
the time to do it. I'm going to create two different checklists
for those of you who are just joining and are just getting
started, please know that whatever time you have to put
into your Come follow me is enough. Just do what you can. If
all you can do is listen to doctrine and covenant section
one, then just do that. By the way, it's eight minutes and 14
seconds. If you want to listen to it, you can listen to it on
your computer, your phone, your tablet, whatever, eight minutes
and 14 seconds you've got to be in the car going somewhere for
eight minutes and 14 seconds. If that's all you've got, that's
all you've got. Just do what you can. And hence the two different
checklists. So if I pull up plan this is what plan a looks like
for this week. Monday is Doctrine and Covenants. Section
one, which is, again, eight minutes and 14 seconds. Tuesday,
and if you remember, we really only had four things. We had
section one, we had Doctrine and Covenants. The introduction to
the Doctrine and Covenants, we had this talk by President
Nelson, embrace the future with faith. And then we have this
video from elder Kyrin, four things. So four things gets us
through Monday, DNC one. Tuesday, the introduction to the
Doctrine and Covenants. Wednesday, the talk by President
Nelson. That's the longest piece in everything that's 16 and a
half minutes. And then on Thursday, this video from elder
Kyrin, we we saw it was only three and a half minutes. And
then on Friday, I've just put in family history. Record my story.
Family history, record my story. I talked about that briefly in
last week's episode. Basically, if you click on this, it will
take you to Family Search, to the record my story tab, and you
can continue as a guest and record your own story. When it
says, record your own story, it is literally going to record
your voice telling your story. There are a whole bunch of
topics that you can pick from, pick one and start recording
your own personal history that counts as family history. It
counts as gathering Israel. Oh, that's fun. It counts as all of
those things. Okay, here's Plan B. Plan B also has doctrine and
covenant section one on Monday, but then I moved the proclaimed
by the weak and the simple, by Elder Kyrin, up to Monday, and
added William McClelland five questions. So I went over here
and I'm and pulled additional resources from over here. So. So
on Monday is William McClellan's five questions, just the
Doctrine and Covenants section one part. He had questions
about other sections too. We're only looking at DNC one, so I
just put DNC one for that. Tuesday is still the
introduction to the Doctrine and Covenants, because it's 13
minutes and 44 seconds. Plan B, by the way, gets us an average
of about 14 minutes a day. So if you've got 14 minutes, Wednesday
is going to be longer, because again, embrace the future with
faith. That's 16 minutes and 24 seconds. That's your longest
day. Every other day is less than that. Every other day is 14
minutes or less. All of this on Monday gets us to 12 minutes and
15 seconds. Tuesday, 1344, Wednesday, 1624, Thursday,
saints volume one, chapter 13, is just under 14 minutes. It's
13 minutes and 52 seconds, and then Friday and Saturday. These
are estimates because of because it's that's something that
you're gonna have to read. You could probably have voice to
text or text to voice, do it for you. I don't really like the way
that sounds, and I don't think that they've recorded a voice
actually reading those yet. So it's an estimate, 14 minutes
each, 14 minutes almost exactly for both of those two days,
Friday Book of Commandments, revelations of Joseph Smith and
sealing, and Saturday Doctrine and Covenants and early
missionaries. Okay, so you can pick either Plan A or plan B.
Both plan A and plan B will be loaded onto the website so you
can download either of the checklists or both, whatever you
want to do, they will also both be posted on the Instagram page
and the Facebook page, so you can look at it there. I can't
link them there. These ones. These are PDFs that you can
download and then are linked directly to the pages for each
one of them. Okay, so that's it. You can do plan one, which is a
total of about 40 minutes for the entire week. Plan B, which
is almost an hour and a half for the entire week, 14 minutes a
day, or on average, seven minutes a day, but again, eight
minutes, one day, 13 minutes, one day, 16 and a half, another
and three the other day. So you choose just again, do your best.
That's all that our Heavenly Father is asking. Your best is
enough. Thank you so much, you guys for being here, and I will
be back with you soon. Have a great one. You
