Paisley: Hello everybody. It is Paisley, imperfect, and I am
recording this on Sunday afternoon. A lot has happened
today with the passing of President Nelson and the
terrible things that have happened at the church in
Michigan, but we can have hope. President Nelson's last talk
about having confidence in the presence of God can give us a
lot of hope as we continue to move forward and as we get ready
for the second coming. With that being said, let's go ahead and
just take a look at what we are getting into this week with
doctrine and covenant sections. 109, and 110, okay, I didn't add
anything different to the list than I normally do, but there
are quite a few links in here that, especially in light of
recent events, I highly recommend, like, pull up the
song The Spirit of God. Listen to that hymn. If you can find
there are the Mormon Tabernacle Choir has some really amazing
renditions of that hymn. It's it's worth listening to us.
Also, with so many temples being built everywhere, that song is
usually sung him is usually sung at Temple dedications, at least
it has been in every temple dedication that I have gone to.
And so it's worth it's worth it. It's worth listening to. There
are some verses in other sections as well, like section
38 there's the Spirit of God. Again, this chapter right here
in Saints Volume One is actually chapter 21 which we have not
done yet, called the Spirit of God. This revelations in
context, a house for our God, that one we have done. So I
didn't re add that this week, the Lord offers me rich
blessings through temple covenants. There's another
chart. And as you know, if you've been around for a while,
I highly recommend that you fill out all of the charts. There's
the Spirit of God again, and then there's this short video,
just over four minutes, called thy servants may go forth from
this house armed with thy power. So we're learning about temples
this week. Alright, the Lord can manifest Himself to me in his
house. We keep going. There's a link for priesthood keys, some
verses, there's a talk right here, the everlasting covenant.
I love learning more about the Abrahamic covenant. I think it's
so it's so perfect for Abraham and the struggles that he was
going through. The covenant was made long before Isaac was born,
and it's just another testament to how heavenly father works
differently in our lives. Anyway, President Nelson had a
talk the everlasting covenant from October of 2022 so check
that out. We want to go look at Elias in the Gospel library. Go
check that out too. Then there's a talk here by Elder Gong happy
and forever, that one's on our list. And then right here, see
there's two different places you can go to watch this same video
right here, or listen to President Nelson's talk in this
in this video, you can either watch it right here, or you can
click on this link right here and it will take you to the
conference page. The conference page is the one that I linked to
in the checklist. It's just, it's a little bit easier to link
to and it but it pulls up the same thing. All right. We'll
come back to people, places and events as we keep going. There's
chapter 39 which is this video right here. You can click on the
link right here, and it will take you to the actual chapter
in the kids book, the online version of the kids book. Or you
can just watch this video two minutes and 42 seconds. There is
this beautiful picture, I believe that's the Rome temple
with the Christus statue looking looking at his at his house. Uh,
okay. There's an Activities page. There's another video
right here. Joseph and Oliver receive priesthood keys about
two and a half minutes long. And then, as we keep going, this is
a fun children's song. If you've never heard that before, take a
listen family history. I am doing it. And then there's a
talk right here, the Savior's healing power upon the isles of
the sea, about 10 and a half minutes long. And that is it for
right here. There's the activity page that we talked through,
that we referenced just up above, a little bit alright,
looking at people, places and events, the revelations in
context. There are two of them, but we. Have already looked at
these. So I did not re add them. A house for our God. We've
looked at quite a few times already. And then in a school
and an endowment, we looked at with section 90. But this
chapter right here, chapter 21 the Spirit of God, we have not
looked at that yet. So that one is definitely on our list,
people, places, events, topics and sources if you want to go
check those out. And we have one more thing over here this week.
We've got Doctrine and Covenants 109 through 110, but there's
also the voices of the restoration spiritual
manifestations and the Kirtland Temple. And so if we click here,
it's not going to come up. Oh, it did come up, all right,
voices of the restoration spiritual manifestations in the
Kirtland Temple. These are the actual words of Latter Day
Saints who were in the Kirtland Temple during its dedication and
other meetings that followed. Worth a listen. This is, it's
about a four minute listen to listen to these few paragraphs.
And then there are references over here, like Oliver Cowdery
diary that's linked. So if you want to go check out the whole
thing, you can and then Benjamin Brown wrote a letter to his wife
Sarah, and that is also linked in here, so you could go check
that out too. That'd be pretty cool. All right, so what does
our checklist look like? It looks like it doesn't want to
show us. Let's see if we refresh if it'll show us. There we go.
All right, so September 29 through October 5. It's October
already. Doctrine and Covenants. 109 is all by itself on Monday,
because it is 19 and a half minutes all by itself. Oh, yeah.
We're averaging about 19 and a half minutes every day. So
Monday, 109 all by itself. Tuesday, section 110, and then
we get happy and forever with elder Gong and the video of
Joseph and Oliver receiving the priesthood keys, which is one of
those kids videos down in the children's section. Then on
Wednesday, we've got this. We've got saints, Volume One, chapter
21 the Spirit of God, and the Kirtland Temple is dedicated and
that day. So Tuesday is actually our longest day. This is 20
minutes and 14 seconds. Wednesday is 1942, so about 19
and a half Thursday, we've got thy servants may go forth from
this house armed with thy power. That video that was in there,
the Savior's healing power upon the isles of the sea, by Elder
Esplin and voices of the restoration, all three of those
things together, is about 18 and a half minutes. Friday, the
everlasting covenant, all by itself, is 19 and a half. And
Saturday, rejoice in the gift of priesthood keys is just over 19
minutes. So a lot of President Nelson this week, especially on
Friday and Saturday. And Saturday is General Conference.
I don't know about you, but by then, I am definitely going to
be wanting to hear his voice again. I've been listening to
some really old talks lately, like 70s, 80s, 90s, and it's
also really good to go back and listen to like elder Faust and
President Hinckley before he was President Hinckley, elder
Maxwell, elder Holland, when he was young and had dark brown
hair, younger and had dark brown hair. Anyway, by Friday,
Saturday, I am definitely going to be ready to listen to some
President Nelson, and since he won't be there, I'm going to
have to get it this way anyway. Thank you everybody for being
here. I really appreciate you taking the time to learn with
me. And until next time. Have a great week.
