Paisley: Music. Hello, everybody. Happy Monday.
Paisley, imperfect. Back with another Make a plan Monday. I
hope that you enjoyed conference weekend. I thought it was
fantastic. And if there was any theme at all, it was for sure.
Well, I guess, in my opinion, anyway, the second coming and
getting ready for it, and how our study of the restoration can
help us prepare for the Second Coming, which is super cool.
Okay, so this week we are, we're at April 7 through the 13th, and
we're looking at seven different sections of the Doctrine and
Covenants, sections 30 through 36 and then we also have this
voices of the restoration early converts over here on the left
as well. We have two different lists this week. The first list
will average us at about 20 minutes a day, and the second
list only averages us at about 22 and a half minutes. But I
felt like it was worth dividing up, because there are three
things that I'll show you. They're not very long, but there
are three things that are kind of off to the side, if you will.
Alright, so let's check and see what we've got. Again, sections
30 through 36 seven different sections. There are three
different revelations and context pieces right here that
we have not looked at before. The faith and fall of Thomas
Marsh Ezra there, from Skeptic to Believer and Orson Pratt
called to serve as we keep going. There's a couple
scriptures in the Book of Mormon, and then there's a love
share. Invite, excuse me, talk from elder Stevenson. That one
love share and invite is about 13 minutes, barely over 13
minutes. There's a hymn. If you want to go, check that out. I'll
go where you want me to go. And then brother Marcus, I could not
I don't even know where to start on how to say his last name. I'm
so sorry. Lift up your heart and rejoice from 2022 there's a
couple of topics and questions inviting all to receive the
gospel of Jesus Christ and ministering as a savior does,
which if you want to go check those out, by all means do. I
did not put those on the list. I don't usually add topics and
questions to the list, but always encourage you to go check
them out. This video right here is four and a half minutes long,
called inviting all to come into Christ, sharing the gospel. That
one, I did include a beautiful picture right here of some of
our beautiful sisters, and then more verses in the Doctrine and
Covenants. And then there's also a chapter. There's two chapters
here, actually from saints Volume One. This first chapter,
right here is chapter eight. I did not include that on our list
because we've already done that chapter this one is chapter 11.
We have not done chapter 11 yet. So I did include that one in our
list. It's called ye shall receive my law. It's 14, almost
15 minutes. It's barely under 15 minutes. All right, as we keep
going, here's voices of the restoration, which is again
linked over here on the left. We're going to look at that here
in just a second. That one is obviously included. It's only
six and a half minutes, but it's got some extra content, which
I'll show you here in a second. There's revelation, if you want
to go check that out. It's really just used as the
reference for this quote, but if you want to go look at it, by
all means, do. It's also listed in references, which we'll look
at here in just a minute. And then there's this all there's
also this revelations in context and mission to the Lamanites. I
didn't include that one because we looked at that one last week
or the week before, so I left that one off the list this time.
All right, people, places and events, which we will come back
to. And then ideas for teaching your children. There's a primary
song here, some specific verses in the Doctrine and Covenants.
And then a couple of videos. This one, Samuel Smith shares
the Book of Mormon. One book blesses many lives. It's barely
over three minutes. This one's only a minute and a half mission
to Native Americans, the Delaware Indians hear the
gospel. So if that's even, if that's all that you can do this
week is watch the minute and a half video. Just watch the
minute and a half video, all right. And then last, but not
least, at least, within the main body of content for this week is
this talk by Elder Bednar, Be still and know that I am God. I
know that I've done an episode on that one, so if you want to
go check that out, by all means, please do. It's under 15
minutes, just over 14 and a half, another painting and then
a game to play with your kids. If you want to do that, all
right, let's go back up to people, places and events and
check that out. The revelation in context. Again, I didn't
include a mission to the Lamanites. We looked at that one
already the faith and fall of Thomas Marsh as Earth there and
then Orson Pratt, those three, or, I'm sorry, and those three
were included in the body. So those are in plan a this one go
to the Ohio was. Not included as part of the body contact
content. So that one is in plan B. It's only seven minutes and
19 seconds, so it's not a super long listen or a super long read
if you want to check it out, even if you decide to do Plan A
instead of plan B. But this one is on plan B. There are two more
chapters from the saints Volume One, chapters nine and 10. We've
looked at those ones already, so I did not include them in either
checklist. And then there's people, places, events, topics.
I don't include those. Go check those out. And then here are all
the sources. So lots of sources to look at this week if you want
to go check it out in their own handwriting. Okay, so I already
told you one of the three things that got added to Plan B. If we
go over here to voices of the restoration early converts,
close that section real quick. This right here. It's not very
long. It's only six and a half minutes to listen to all of
this. But there are two videos in here, parley and thankful
Pratt faith to follow the spirit, and then Sydney and
Phoebe Rigdon changing their lives to accept the gospel. This
first one is only three and a half minutes, and the second
one's only two and a half. So I mean, really, we only added what
710, 13. We only added like 13 or 14 minutes to the entire week
by putting in that revelations in context, go to the Ohio and
then these two short videos, we only added like 14 minutes, but
it took our average per day from 20 minutes to 22 minutes. So I
put together two different plans. Let's take a look at
those really quick Plan A looks like this. We've got doctrine
and covenant sections 30 and 31 on Monday, along with saints
volume one, chapter 11, you shall receive my law. All three
of those things together, combined, is just under 21
minutes. It's 20 minutes and 55 seconds on Tuesday, sections 32
and 33 plus the talk by Elder Bednar that gets us to 20
minutes 40 seconds on Wednesday, sections 34 and 35 and then lift
up your heart and rejoice that gets us to again just under 21
minutes, 20 minutes 20 minutes and 53 seconds. And then on
Thursday, section, 36 revelations in context, the
faith and fall of Thomas marsh and the video inviting all to
come into Christ, sharing the gospel. Those three things
combined on Thursday are 20 minutes and 23 seconds. And then
Friday, those three things right there, the two revelations in
context and the voices of the restoration. Those three things
are 20 minutes and 44 seconds, and then Saturday is super
short, with only 17 minutes and 44 seconds, and that includes
the general conference talk and these two short videos, so very
doable. It's only 20 minutes a day. Saturday is shorter 17 and
a half every other day closer to 21 minutes. Not that big of a
deal. But remember, if you can only do one thing, we have seven
sections of the Doctrine and Covenants and six days. So take
a couple of the shorter sections. Section 32 for
example, is only a minute and 46 and section 31 is 252 so you
could do section 30 on Monday, 31 and 32 on Tuesday, 33 on
Wednesday, 34 Thursday, 35 Friday and 36 on Saturday, and
at least get through just the scriptures. But I'm not going to
make a plan C for you. Sorry. You're gonna have to figure that
one out on your own. Okay, Plan B, though, looks like this. If
you decide to go with Plan B, it's all seven sections of the
Doctrine and Covenants on Monday, and all seven sections
is 23 minutes and 34 seconds, so you can get through all of it on
Monday. Those two talks on Tuesday are a total of about 22
minutes. It's just under 22 Wednesday that the revelations
in context, plus the talk and the video, those
are just over 22 minutes. 22 minutes and 12 seconds. Thursday
is our longest day, at 23 minutes and 16 seconds. The
revelations in context, a conference talk in a video, kind
of the same pattern as Wednesday, just that the
conference talk is a little bit longer, plus you got a
revelations and context. Those are those tend to be, I don't
know they can be a little bit longer. Friday, those two things
combined, 21 and a half. And then on Saturday, three videos,
and the talk by Elder Bednar is 22 minutes and 12 seconds. So
pick your plan, decide whether you want to do Plan A or plan B.
They'll both be up on the website by the time you are
listening or watching this. And they I also post I also post
them on Instagram and Facebook, so you can check them out. There
too, if you want to Paisley and perfect. Thank you so much, you
guys. I appreciate your time, and I appreciate having somebody
study that I'll turn in covenants with me this year. I
am enjoying it more than I expected to, if I'm being
completely honest. Also, again, based on what we just learned
about in general conference, if we want to prepare ourselves for
the Second Coming, a good study of the restoration is a good
idea. Thank you so much, you guys, and until next time you.
