00:00:04.980 --> 00:00:07.260
Paisley: Hey everybody, Paisley,
imperfect here another Make a

00:00:07.260 --> 00:00:10.980
plan Monday, and this is going
to be a short week right now.

00:00:10.980 --> 00:00:14.880
We've got Doctrine and Covenants
section 18, and so only one

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:19.140
section this week. We're already
getting into March, so we'll

00:00:19.140 --> 00:00:24.860
finish up February this week and
start March with section 18. So

00:00:24.860 --> 00:00:29.240
let's take a look right here.
Let's see, where's the first

00:00:29.240 --> 00:00:34.580
one? There's not a lot right
here. The first one, you matter

00:00:34.580 --> 00:00:39.860
to him, President from 2011 and
I'm pretty sure I did an episode

00:00:39.860 --> 00:00:44.200
on this one, I'll have to look
and if I did, I know I wrote

00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:48.340
one. I don't know if I actually
did it or not, but if I did,

00:00:48.340 --> 00:00:51.940
I'll link it in the description.
And then there's another talk

00:00:51.940 --> 00:00:56.200
here by sister Jones, value
beyond measure as we keep

00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.560
scrolling. There's a talk here
by Elder Renlund, repentance, a

00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.840
joyful choice. I kind of vaguely
remember that one. Actually, I

00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.500
think that'll be good. And then
there's another talk here. There

00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:13.560
can be nothing so exquisite and
sweet as was my joy. As we keep

00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:16.020
scrolling, we get to people,
places and events, we'll come

00:01:16.020 --> 00:01:20.520
back to that ideas for teaching
children. There's not a lot down

00:01:20.520 --> 00:01:23.180
here. I'm gonna go read this
song, because I don't know that

00:01:23.180 --> 00:01:27.860
I've ever heard this one before.
Every star is different. And

00:01:27.860 --> 00:01:30.980
then there's another children's
song right there, if I want to

00:01:30.980 --> 00:01:35.600
be a missionary now, that one I
have heard before. And then some

00:01:35.600 --> 00:01:42.880
artwork and an activity. Okay,
so that left us with five

00:01:42.880 --> 00:01:47.080
things. Let's go back to people,
places and events and see what

00:01:47.080 --> 00:01:51.220
else we've got here. All right,
we've got this revelations in

00:01:51.220 --> 00:01:55.780
context, which I really like to
review those. And so I added

00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:00.220
that to the checklist. There's
only going to be one checklist

00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.080
this week, because there's only,
I mean this right here gets us

00:02:04.080 --> 00:02:07.560
to six things, which is one
thing every day. And the only

00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.980
other thing we've got is this
right here, chapter 19 in the

00:02:10.980 --> 00:02:14.760
saints Volume One, stewards over
this ministry. So we only really

00:02:14.760 --> 00:02:20.960
have 16 things to or 16 seven
things to review. And those

00:02:20.960 --> 00:02:25.100
seven things, when I kind of
spread them out a little bit, it

00:02:25.100 --> 00:02:28.580
gets us to just under 15 minutes
a day, which is totally doable

00:02:29.720 --> 00:02:32.660
if you want to go look at
people. We've looked at all of

00:02:32.660 --> 00:02:35.960
our Oliver Cowdery and David
Whitmer before, but those are

00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.920
there. And then here are some
new places, New York and

00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:42.760
Pennsylvania historic sites. I
think that one's been on here

00:02:42.760 --> 00:02:48.340
before, but the Whitmer home and
farm, those are new, and that's

00:02:48.340 --> 00:02:53.320
really it. So averaging at about
15 minutes a day, we're looking

00:02:53.320 --> 00:02:57.880
at like Doctrine and Covenants
18 on Monday with revelations in

00:02:57.880 --> 00:03:01.680
context. This on Monday, on
Tuesday, is the talk by Elder

00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:06.300
Uchtdorf. You matter to him. On
Wednesday is the value beyond

00:03:06.300 --> 00:03:12.000
measure, by sister Jones. On
Thursday, there can be nothing

00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:17.280
so exquisite and sweet as was my
joy. And then on Saturday,

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.540
sorry, I got that mixed up.
Monday is DNC eight and

00:03:20.540 --> 00:03:23.300
revelations in my church.
Tuesday, you matter to him.

00:03:23.300 --> 00:03:26.840
Wednesday, value beyond measure.
Thursday, repentance a joyful

00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:31.820
choice. Friday, there can be
nothing so exquisite and sweet

00:03:31.820 --> 00:03:35.540
as was my joy and Saturday,
saints, Volume One, chapter 19,

00:03:35.540 --> 00:03:39.200
stewards over this ministry, the
longest day is Tuesday, with

00:03:39.200 --> 00:03:42.940
that talk from President
Uchtdorf, you matter to him. And

00:03:42.940 --> 00:03:47.740
the shortest day is Friday, with
just under 10 minutes. And there

00:03:47.740 --> 00:03:52.180
can be nothing so exquisite and
sweet as was my joy. So a total,

00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.540
totally doable Week. This week,
I will get the checklist. The

00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.300
checklist will be on the website
by the time this video is

00:03:58.300 --> 00:04:03.600
posted. So you'll be you'll have
it if that's what you want. It's

00:04:03.600 --> 00:04:06.240
pretty simple this week, so
don't feel like you have to

00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:10.020
download an entire page just for
seven things. They're pretty

00:04:10.020 --> 00:04:13.500
easy to find here. Thank you so
much, you guys for being here.

00:04:14.100 --> 00:04:17.580
One quick thing, one kind of
experience that I wanted to

00:04:17.580 --> 00:04:20.900
share, that I had this week with
all of those other sections in

00:04:20.900 --> 00:04:24.440
the Doctrine and Covenants that
we did, let's see we did

00:04:24.440 --> 00:04:29.960
sections 12 through 17 this last
week. One of the things that I

00:04:29.960 --> 00:04:33.680
noticed so remember how Oliver
Cowdery wanted to be able to he

00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:39.140
wanted to be able to translate,
and so he had Joseph ask, and

00:04:39.140 --> 00:04:42.820
Heavenly Father came back and
said, Yeah, you can try. And so

00:04:42.820 --> 00:04:48.640
Oliver tried, sort of, but what
ended up coming back was that

00:04:48.640 --> 00:04:53.860
scripture that I know that has
been used a lot in my life in

00:04:53.860 --> 00:04:59.080
lessons and talks and whatever.
That that scripture that says

00:04:59.080 --> 00:05:04.560
you took no thought. But to ask
like you didn't try, you just

00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:08.880
asked and assumed that it would
be given to you. Um, so and

00:05:08.880 --> 00:05:12.600
then, but then he tells Oliver,
it's okay. You don't have to

00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:17.280
worry about it. Joseph has been
called to translate. I need for

00:05:17.280 --> 00:05:20.900
you to do what you're good at
and be his scribe and his friend

00:05:20.900 --> 00:05:25.340
and his support. And so Oliver
went. He was like, okay, I can

00:05:25.340 --> 00:05:28.400
do that. And he went back, of
course, I'm paraphrasing this,

00:05:28.580 --> 00:05:33.620
but he went back and was Joseph
scribe. So then you get into the

00:05:33.620 --> 00:05:38.660
whitmers, David Whitmer, Peter
Whitmer, John Whitmer, you get

00:05:38.660 --> 00:05:43.480
to these guys who they wanted to
help too. And so they had Joseph

00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.600
ask, and the Lord came back and
said, the thing that would be of

00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:50.260
greatest value to them would be
to share the gospel again, I'm

00:05:50.260 --> 00:05:56.740
paraphrasing. He didn't need
them to translate. He didn't

00:05:56.740 --> 00:06:01.920
need them to receive the
revelations that Joseph was

00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.940
receiving. He didn't need that
from them. What he needed from

00:06:05.940 --> 00:06:10.800
them was to share the gospel.
And as I was thinking about all

00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:14.700
of these things, the thing that
struck me the most was our

00:06:14.700 --> 00:06:19.140
Heavenly Father doesn't need all
of us to be a president Nelson

00:06:19.200 --> 00:06:23.420
or a President Holland or a
president Hinckley, or fill in

00:06:23.420 --> 00:06:26.540
the blank with your favorite
apostle or prophet. He doesn't

00:06:26.540 --> 00:06:31.460
need for us to be them. He has
one of them already. He needs

00:06:31.460 --> 00:06:36.680
for us to do what we are good at
within our own sphere of

00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:40.600
influence, within our own little
piece of the world, and for all

00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:44.380
of us that's going to be
different. He doesn't need he

00:06:44.380 --> 00:06:50.080
doesn't need all of us to write
these wonderful, great books. He

00:06:50.080 --> 00:06:56.440
doesn't need all of us to go on
missions or senior missions. He

00:06:56.440 --> 00:07:00.480
needs for us to do what we are
good at. And that's why He gave

00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:04.380
us the gifts that He gave us so
that we could use those gifts

00:07:04.380 --> 00:07:11.280
and magnify, try to magnify our
calling within those gifts and

00:07:11.280 --> 00:07:16.200
then whatever, wherever we fall
short, that's where he steps in

00:07:16.200 --> 00:07:19.860
and makes up the difference. So
he didn't need more than one

00:07:19.860 --> 00:07:22.340
Joseph Smith, he needed one
Joseph Smith, he needed one

00:07:22.340 --> 00:07:27.200
Oliver Cowdery. He needed one
David Whitmer, he needed one

00:07:27.320 --> 00:07:31.220
Peter Whitmer, he needed one.
John Whitmer, he needed one.

00:07:31.220 --> 00:07:34.940
Mary Whitmer, he needed one.
Joseph Smith, senior like he

00:07:34.940 --> 00:07:42.760
needed one of each. And he needs
one of you and one of me and we

00:07:42.940 --> 00:07:47.500
can use our talents and our
gifts differently to help gather

00:07:47.500 --> 00:07:50.860
Israel. President Nelson has
told us that that is the most

00:07:50.860 --> 00:07:54.040
important work that we will be
involved in right now, is to

00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:58.540
gather Israel, and he needs one
of you and one of me to do that.

00:08:00.100 --> 00:08:04.140
And anyway, that's that really
stuck out to me this time

00:08:04.140 --> 00:08:07.080
around. And I'm really grateful
for the opportunity that I had

00:08:07.080 --> 00:08:10.680
to get that little piece of,
that little nugget of

00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:14.340
inspiration, if you will, for
myself. Thank you so much for

00:08:14.340 --> 00:08:16.920
for being here, you guys, and if
you've stuck around this long

00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:22.040
double Thank you. And I'll be
back next week with another make

00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:24.320
plan Monday. Thank you so much.
Until then you.
