WEBVTT

00:00:04.920 --> 00:00:07.500
Paisley: Hey everybody, Paisley
and perfect. Back with another

00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:10.440
Make a plan Monday. We are more
than halfway through the year,

00:00:10.440 --> 00:00:13.500
and we are at Doctrine and
Covenants, sections 81 through

00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:18.840
83 where much is given, much is
required. So let's take a look

00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:23.240
at what we've got this week. We
have got, well, three sections

00:00:23.240 --> 00:00:28.040
of the Doctrine and Covenants,
right? 8182 and 83 which is not

00:00:28.040 --> 00:00:34.100
a lot, it's about 10 minutes, if
that. So let's keep looking and

00:00:34.100 --> 00:00:36.980
see what else we've got. There's
a couple of revelations in

00:00:36.980 --> 00:00:40.160
context right here. There's the
Newell K Whitney and the United

00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:42.520
firm, which I did not include
because we've looked at that

00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:47.080
already, and it's been an option
a couple of different times. And

00:00:47.080 --> 00:00:50.020
then there's Jesse Gauss
counselor to the profit. I don't

00:00:50.020 --> 00:00:54.100
know if I'm saying that right or
not. That's just a guess, but

00:00:54.100 --> 00:00:56.800
that one I did add because we
have not looked at that one yet.

00:00:59.080 --> 00:01:03.120
And as we keep going, there are
some questions here that are

00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:08.040
worth paying attention to and
looking at for yourself. What

00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:10.380
are some ways a person can be
weak, and what does it mean to

00:01:10.380 --> 00:01:14.820
sucker them? What might cause a
person's hands to figuratively

00:01:14.820 --> 00:01:18.180
hang down, and how can I lift
them up? And what might feeble

00:01:18.180 --> 00:01:20.660
knees mean? How are they
strengthened? And then, how does

00:01:20.660 --> 00:01:25.460
the Savior do those things for
us as we keep going? There's a

00:01:25.460 --> 00:01:28.700
video right here, teachings of
Thomas S Monson rescuing those

00:01:28.700 --> 00:01:32.720
in need. It's just over five
minutes. And then there's a

00:01:32.720 --> 00:01:36.620
second video here as well,
called works of God about four

00:01:36.620 --> 00:01:41.500
and a half, some artwork.
There's a hymn if you want to go

00:01:41.500 --> 00:01:44.920
listen to because I have been
given much, or if you want to

00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:50.980
look at the words for that hymn
again, it's a good one. Then

00:01:50.980 --> 00:01:53.500
there's another video right
here, just over five and a half

00:01:53.500 --> 00:01:56.260
minutes. Blessed and happy are
those who keep the commandments

00:01:56.260 --> 00:01:59.380
of God. All three of these
videos are on the list, by the

00:01:59.380 --> 00:02:03.840
way. Then, as we keep going,
there's a talk here from Elder

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:07.800
Christofferson, our relationship
with God. And then, if you want

00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:12.420
to, there's commandments in the
topics and questions section of

00:02:12.420 --> 00:02:16.860
the gospel library. I did not,
as usual, I don't usually, I

00:02:17.220 --> 00:02:20.100
don't usually include those on
the list. I did not this time

00:02:20.100 --> 00:02:26.720
either. Okay? And then, as we
keep going, this right here is a

00:02:26.720 --> 00:02:33.080
talk from a BYU Women's
Conference. And when you click

00:02:33.140 --> 00:02:40.100
on the link, you come here to
this page. It's not available

00:02:40.100 --> 00:02:44.560
for listening to, you would have
the blue headphone icon down

00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:47.860
here. It's not available to
listen to here, but it says

00:02:47.860 --> 00:02:52.120
right here, see byutv.org for a
recording of the original

00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:56.320
discourse. But when you click on
that, you get this item

00:02:56.320 --> 00:02:59.140
currently unavailable for on
demand access check the schedule

00:02:59.140 --> 00:03:05.580
for the next available date and
time. So I don't know if they're

00:03:05.580 --> 00:03:12.840
going to make this available for
on demand access throughout the

00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:17.400
week, because it's referenced in
the Come follow me or not. It

00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:23.000
doesn't say anything here, this
sister Pierce is a daughter of

00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:27.680
President Hinckley. I'm sure
it's good, and the only reason

00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:31.100
I'm bringing this up is because
I don't know how long it's going

00:03:31.100 --> 00:03:38.300
to take for you to read it. I
did ask the AI, and it said, if

00:03:38.300 --> 00:03:40.480
you're a fast reader, it could
take five minutes. If you're a

00:03:40.480 --> 00:03:43.420
slow reader, it could take 11
minutes, if you're an average

00:03:43.420 --> 00:03:47.980
reader, seven or eight. So I put
eight on the checklist and I

00:03:47.980 --> 00:03:52.540
left it on a day by itself. This
whole first section right here

00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:58.600
is about Sister. Sister Pierce.
So if you wanted to skip that,

00:03:58.600 --> 00:04:04.140
you could and just go straight
into her, her talk. But if you

00:04:04.140 --> 00:04:08.220
want to learn more about her,
read this section right here in

00:04:08.220 --> 00:04:12.900
the box. When I asked the AI how
long it would take to read, I

00:04:12.900 --> 00:04:17.400
just included the entire page so
and I left it right in the

00:04:17.400 --> 00:04:20.240
middle at about eight pages,
just so you know, with all of

00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:23.900
that. All right, let's get back
to here. That's this talk, right

00:04:23.900 --> 00:04:27.620
here. Prayer a small and simple
thing. All right, as we keep

00:04:27.620 --> 00:04:34.040
going, there are in this people
places. We'll come back. We'll

00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:36.320
come back to the people places
and events, and I'll show you

00:04:36.320 --> 00:04:40.180
when we get there. Okay, so now
we are down into ideas for

00:04:40.180 --> 00:04:43.780
teaching children secret prayer.
If you want to sing a song with

00:04:43.780 --> 00:04:47.920
them, there's a couple of verses
this video right here. Pass it

00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:51.160
on. We just looked at, I say,
just looked at we looked at this

00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:54.940
back in April, so I didn't
include it on the list, but it's

00:04:54.940 --> 00:04:57.700
only two minutes. So if you
wanted to watch it again, you

00:04:57.700 --> 00:05:03.360
could and then. And there's
another video right here, six

00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:06.600
minutes, nine seconds, serving
in the Savior's way. That one is

00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:14.040
included on the checklist. Some
more artwork, some Scriptures in

00:05:14.100 --> 00:05:18.120
the Old Testament and the New
Testament. And then Doctrine and

00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.980
Covenants kind of pull it all
together. And then there's the

00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:27.920
activity page, if you want to
use that, okay, back up here to

00:05:27.980 --> 00:05:31.520
people, places and events. And
when we click to see more,

00:05:31.880 --> 00:05:34.280
there's the revelations in
context, which I've already

00:05:34.280 --> 00:05:37.700
included. And then there's
chapter 14, visions and

00:05:37.700 --> 00:05:41.500
nightmares from saints. I didn't
include that because we've

00:05:41.500 --> 00:05:44.800
looked at that already and it's
been an option a couple of

00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:49.660
different times. I did, however,
click on these two things right

00:05:49.660 --> 00:05:57.160
here. They look like this.
Sorry, no, this is the

00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:01.320
revelations in context. Where is
that other one? Let's just click

00:06:01.320 --> 00:06:06.000
on it again. This is a
historical resource, so you can

00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:09.780
pull it up over here. It's super
short. And if you wanted to read

00:06:09.780 --> 00:06:12.960
more about Jackie Jesse Gauss,
you could read a little bit more

00:06:12.960 --> 00:06:17.220
here. Again, super short, not
very long. I didn't put it on

00:06:17.220 --> 00:06:21.380
the checklist. It's probably
like 30 seconds. Just take a

00:06:21.380 --> 00:06:24.140
look at it when you get there,
when you get down to this part

00:06:24.140 --> 00:06:28.700
of your book. And then they have
the same thing for Frederick G

00:06:28.700 --> 00:06:33.860
Williams, and just kind of a
quick recap something that we

00:06:33.860 --> 00:06:38.360
learned with our kids tonight.
Jesse Gauss was called to be a

00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:43.960
counselor to Joseph Smith before
the First Presidency was

00:06:43.960 --> 00:06:48.580
officially organized the way
that we know it today, but he

00:06:49.300 --> 00:06:54.580
didn't. He didn't stick around.
So Frederick Williams actually

00:06:54.580 --> 00:06:59.380
replaced him. And Frederick
Williams had some issues too,

00:07:00.100 --> 00:07:05.100
but he did come back to the
church before he died. But

00:07:05.100 --> 00:07:13.920
section 81 section 81 was
originally given for Jesse

00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:19.560
Gauss, but is applicable also to
Frederick Williams. The promises

00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:22.880
and blessings that were given
because of his calling are

00:07:22.880 --> 00:07:27.440
applicable to Frederick Williams
because he ended up fulfilling

00:07:27.440 --> 00:07:31.700
the calling. It's kind of like
when you get called to something

00:07:31.700 --> 00:07:35.180
like Bishop, right? There are
special blessings that come with

00:07:35.180 --> 00:07:38.120
being called to be a bishop that
are only applicable to the

00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:42.040
bishop, but the bishop gets
replaced, and then those

00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:46.300
blessings move on to the next
person. Some of them are more

00:07:46.300 --> 00:07:52.600
personal, especially in a church
this size, some of them are more

00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:56.920
personal, but there are things
that are applicable to the

00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:03.120
calling itself that come with
like being set apart in that

00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:07.560
calling. I'll give you an
example. It might be kind of a

00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.520
cheesy example. I was called to
be primary president a long time

00:08:11.520 --> 00:08:15.900
ago, and I remember when I was
first called, I started

00:08:15.900 --> 00:08:20.180
noticing, like, we would be
driving down the road and

00:08:20.180 --> 00:08:23.240
stopped at a stoplight, and I
would look in the car next to

00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:26.180
me, and there would be a little
kid there, just like staring at

00:08:26.180 --> 00:08:29.660
me, and they would smile and
wave. This has never happened to

00:08:29.660 --> 00:08:33.020
me before. I think I've talked
about it before. I have resting

00:08:33.020 --> 00:08:38.600
grump face, and so usually when
kids look at me, they like get

00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:44.020
scared. But it was just this
weird thing that these kids

00:08:44.020 --> 00:08:46.480
would just, like, look at me
from their car seat, or look at

00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:48.940
me through the window, and they
would smile and wait, smile and

00:08:48.940 --> 00:08:53.260
wave at me. And I wasn't, like,
smiling at them anyway, special.

00:08:53.260 --> 00:08:57.940
I didn't wave at them first. It
was just this weird thing. And

00:08:57.940 --> 00:09:03.660
then when I was released, I
didn't necessarily notice that

00:09:03.660 --> 00:09:07.140
that stopped, or anything like
that, but I do remember when I

00:09:07.140 --> 00:09:20.900
was released that I felt it like
I felt the I felt different

00:09:21.260 --> 00:09:24.260
about the kids in my ward. I
still loved them, but I felt

00:09:24.260 --> 00:09:28.820
different towards them. I think
not about them. I didn't really

00:09:28.820 --> 00:09:31.580
feel different about them. I
still loved them, but I felt

00:09:31.580 --> 00:09:41.080
different towards them. The
mantle had been moved. For lack

00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.900
of a better phrase, I can't
think of another way to describe

00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:44.440
it right now,

00:09:46.180 --> 00:09:52.300
but that's kind of what I'm
getting from this. Like some of

00:09:52.300 --> 00:09:56.440
the blessings are personal. Some
of them come with the calling

00:09:57.040 --> 00:09:59.920
anyway, so take that for what
you will primary person.

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:05.400
President versus counselor in a
pre First Presidency. So take

00:10:05.400 --> 00:10:08.880
that for what you will. It's
just my way of making it

00:10:08.880 --> 00:10:15.000
applicable to myself. Okay,
that's it. It looks like it's

00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:20.900
about nine, almost 10 minutes on
average per day, and our list

00:10:21.140 --> 00:10:25.760
looks like this. So on Monday,
doctrine and covenant section,

00:10:25.760 --> 00:10:30.020
81 and then we're looking at the
revelations in context for Jesse

00:10:30.020 --> 00:10:35.660
Gauss total, eight minutes, 51
seconds. Tuesday, sections, 82

00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:42.760
and 83 seven and a half minutes.
Wednesday, the two videos,

00:10:42.820 --> 00:10:46.420
teachings of President Monson
and the works of God nine and a

00:10:46.420 --> 00:10:51.340
half minutes. Thursday, these
two videos almost 12 minutes.

00:10:51.340 --> 00:10:54.400
Remember, it's an average of 10
minutes. This one's almost 12

00:10:54.400 --> 00:10:59.260
minutes. And then Friday is
actually the longest day, with

00:10:59.260 --> 00:11:03.600
the talk from Elder
Christofferson, with 13 minutes

00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:07.080
and 17 seconds. So even 13
minutes is still less than 15

00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:10.380
minutes. We can totally do that
and then last, but not least.

00:11:10.560 --> 00:11:16.980
Again guesstimate eight minutes,
based on what, based on the

00:11:16.980 --> 00:11:23.780
analysis that the AI did, eight
minutes for Saturday to go

00:11:23.780 --> 00:11:29.120
through the talk by sister
Pierce. So pretty simple, pretty

00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:35.000
easy and totally doable for all
of us. Thank you so much, you

00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:38.060
guys for sticking around, for
hanging out with me. I hope that

00:11:38.060 --> 00:11:40.600
these checklists are helpful. I
hope that somebody's using them

00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:44.920
besides me. But I mean, if not,
I started this for myself more

00:11:44.920 --> 00:11:48.520
than anything else. So even if
I'm the only one using them,

00:11:48.820 --> 00:11:52.060
it's still super helpful. Thank
you so much for being here, you

00:11:52.060 --> 00:11:59.560
guys, and until next time, have
a good one. You.
