WEBVTT 00:00:02.320 --> 00:00:04.660 Welcome to closer to Christ through general conference 00:00:04.660 --> 00:00:06.700 where two friends who love Jesus share our own 00:00:06.700 --> 00:00:08.539 approach to studying the most recent general 00:00:08.539 --> 00:00:11.519 conference talks This is Abby and Amy. Let's 00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:32.250 jump into it we're talking about that all may 00:00:32.250 --> 00:00:34.789 be edified. This is by brother Chad H Webb. He's 00:00:34.789 --> 00:00:36.850 the first counselor in the Sunday School general 00:00:36.850 --> 00:00:39.990 presidency. So he starts out picture this, you're 00:00:39.990 --> 00:00:42.390 about to take a very important test. And you're 00:00:42.390 --> 00:00:45.310 told that you can bring one sheet of paper with 00:00:45.310 --> 00:00:48.670 whatever you need to help you. So some people 00:00:48.670 --> 00:00:51.390 furiously scribbled, you know, tiny print every 00:00:51.390 --> 00:00:53.950 bit of information that could possibly be on 00:00:53.950 --> 00:00:57.490 the exam. And then in this top, it illustrates 00:00:57.490 --> 00:01:01.000 a clever student. who said that his tutor could 00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:03.700 stand on the piece of paper. So it would be. 00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:06.140 This would be able to provide insight to any 00:01:06.140 --> 00:01:08.920 question presented. It's such a great backstory 00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:11.859 to discussing the power that we have when we 00:01:11.859 --> 00:01:14.500 allow ourselves to be tutored with the help of 00:01:14.500 --> 00:01:16.599 the Holy Ghost. We see the Holy Ghost working 00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:18.359 with individuals and groups across the world 00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:20.260 in every denomination, but as members of the 00:01:20.260 --> 00:01:21.780 Church of Jesus Christ of Latter -day Saints, 00:01:21.939 --> 00:01:23.719 I think sometimes we might forget how blessed 00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:25.680 we are that we can have constant companionship 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:28.519 with this member of the Godhead, the perfect 00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:31.480 tutor, the Holy Ghost. Absolutely, Abby. How 00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:35.340 do we prevent the apathy toward one of the sweetest 00:01:35.340 --> 00:01:37.400 gifts that we've been given? If we remember the 00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:39.840 gift of the Holy Ghost and then also show gratitude 00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:41.739 for the experiences that we have with the Holy 00:01:41.739 --> 00:01:44.359 Ghost, we're likely to recognize that we are 00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.280 constantly, like you said, Abby, it's a constant 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:50.140 gift and we're always being blessed by that. 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.599 The Holy Ghost knows all things, testifies of 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:55.819 truth, and will bring all things to our remembrance. 00:01:56.510 --> 00:01:59.010 I know we all want experiences with God and we 00:01:59.010 --> 00:02:01.730 want to know that He's hearing our pleas, that 00:02:01.730 --> 00:02:03.829 He's invested in the decisions that we're making. 00:02:04.469 --> 00:02:07.150 And we can constantly be talking to Him, but 00:02:07.150 --> 00:02:11.009 sometimes you'll hear people say, you know, I'm 00:02:11.009 --> 00:02:13.189 talking to Him, but I don't know if He hears 00:02:13.189 --> 00:02:15.689 me. I don't know if He's there to answer my prayers. 00:02:15.849 --> 00:02:18.270 Maybe you see that happening in other people's 00:02:18.270 --> 00:02:20.370 lives, but you're not so sure that it's happening 00:02:20.370 --> 00:02:23.449 for yourself. And the reason is because it takes 00:02:23.449 --> 00:02:26.639 effort to hear Him. I agree. And we all know, 00:02:26.699 --> 00:02:29.180 you know, that phrase, our beloved prophet, President 00:02:29.180 --> 00:02:31.419 Russell M Nelson, frequently spoke about the 00:02:31.419 --> 00:02:35.840 importance of hearing him. So just, I mean, as 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.560 you dig into that, it's not that he's not talking, 00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:40.539 it's that it's going to take some effort on our 00:02:40.539 --> 00:02:43.419 part to know how it is that we hear him. Absolutely. 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:45.080 For each one of us, because it's going to be 00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:48.629 an individual. And a lot of that prophetic advice 00:02:48.629 --> 00:02:51.069 centered around increasing our own spiritual 00:02:51.069 --> 00:02:53.610 capacity to have encounters with the Holy Ghost. 00:02:53.870 --> 00:02:57.009 And it's always there and it's always available 00:02:57.009 --> 00:03:00.430 for us to have this constant companionship. But 00:03:00.430 --> 00:03:03.729 like you said, it takes effort on our part to, 00:03:03.889 --> 00:03:06.129 first of all, recognize it and then also to receive 00:03:06.129 --> 00:03:08.389 that inspiration. Because many times it is happening, 00:03:08.469 --> 00:03:11.409 we just haven't taken the time to stop and even 00:03:11.409 --> 00:03:14.319 recognize. And the more that we do take those 00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:18.840 moments that it does become easier. It's an individual 00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:21.840 process, but when I'm watching like right now 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.159 we happen to be in primary, definitely the songs 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:26.259 are inviting the spirit. And when our music leader 00:03:26.259 --> 00:03:28.139 takes a moment to point out when she's feeling 00:03:28.139 --> 00:03:30.460 the spirit and she says, do you feel anything? 00:03:30.620 --> 00:03:33.060 Do you feel special? The kids are usually in 00:03:33.060 --> 00:03:34.719 a kind of a quiet enough demeanor that they're 00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.699 like, oh, I do feel something different. That 00:03:36.699 --> 00:03:38.400 might be some of their first encounters with 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.599 it. you know, music aside isn't happening, church 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.539 aside isn't happening. It can be in any moment, 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.199 anywhere. They feel a twinge of that, that they 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:50.199 can say, oh, this is that same, you know, that 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.319 same friend that I felt before about that. Brother 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:57.319 Webb, as his role is in the Sunday School general 00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:01.500 presidency, directs us to some really helpful 00:04:01.500 --> 00:04:04.860 information. that's provided in the manual teaching 00:04:04.860 --> 00:04:07.560 in the Savior's way. I know Amy and I talked 00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:09.620 about this before, because we just had a primary 00:04:09.620 --> 00:04:11.900 training on it. And so it had nothing to do with 00:04:11.900 --> 00:04:14.479 the general conference talk, but by virtue of 00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.300 what was on our mind from that day as we were 00:04:17.300 --> 00:04:19.519 podcasting about another talk, that this came 00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:22.379 up. And so I actually shared the image that he's 00:04:22.379 --> 00:04:24.500 referencing on our Facebook page. I think it's 00:04:24.500 --> 00:04:29.069 so nice to have eyes on it. But really, this 00:04:29.069 --> 00:04:32.490 talk centers around how in our homes and in our 00:04:32.490 --> 00:04:35.850 church callings, we can magnify those if we're 00:04:35.850 --> 00:04:38.110 teaching with the Holy Ghost and basically the 00:04:38.110 --> 00:04:40.769 process of doing what it takes to invite the 00:04:40.769 --> 00:04:43.350 Holy Ghost more fully into our teaching opportunities. 00:04:45.129 --> 00:04:47.149 So if you're a visual person, you'll find it 00:04:47.149 --> 00:04:49.149 helpful to either reference it in the teaching 00:04:49.149 --> 00:04:50.689 in the Savior's Way manual, you can go to our 00:04:50.689 --> 00:04:52.769 Facebook page, Closer to Christ through general 00:04:52.769 --> 00:04:56.920 conference, or if you seem to like, just listening 00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:58.819 to things and picturing it. This is like a Venn 00:04:58.819 --> 00:05:00.939 diagram as we're talking about these points. 00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.000 Okay, so the Venn diagram has three main pieces. 00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:07.500 They are invite diligent learning, teach the 00:05:07.500 --> 00:05:10.519 doctrine and focus on Jesus Christ. And he explains 00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:12.860 to this talk that when we do these things effectively, 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:19.560 the center of this is that we can provide opportunities 00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:23.800 for deeper conversion to Jesus Christ. On the 00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.819 outside of this Venn diagram, we need to love 00:05:26.819 --> 00:05:29.379 those we teach and teach with the Holy Ghost. 00:05:29.819 --> 00:05:33.800 So it's a process. I mean, I've thought of it 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:36.339 a lot as I've been teaching my little primary 00:05:36.339 --> 00:05:40.480 kids, as I've been teaching in my home and... 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:42.899 you know, when all of the pieces are kind of 00:05:42.899 --> 00:05:44.639 harmonious, you're like, yep, that's gonna sink, 00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:46.779 that's gonna sink a lot deeper. Yeah, just having 00:05:46.779 --> 00:05:49.500 it top of mind. It's very easy to weave it in 00:05:49.500 --> 00:05:51.480 just as long as you like remember what those 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:53.819 three things are. I appreciated that in our training. 00:05:54.300 --> 00:05:56.480 So let's dig into one of those first ones. It's 00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:00.360 invite diligent learning. So have you ever considered 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.319 the different impact a lesson has when we study 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:05.100 the material with a prayer in our heart and also 00:06:05.100 --> 00:06:07.899 a focus on those we teach? We often grow our 00:06:07.899 --> 00:06:10.560 faith and understanding. and are prepared at 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.800 that point to share that with the class. We just 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:15.920 need those participants to show up essentially 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:19.279 and to listen and then also to tune in to the 00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:23.019 effort that we put into the materials. And also 00:06:23.019 --> 00:06:25.839 when the spirit is there. Last week, Abby, you 00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.100 were gone last week and the lesson that I gave, 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.379 the kids wanted to share a lot. You know how 00:06:31.379 --> 00:06:33.959 at the beginning we have them share? Sometimes 00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:36.420 we have girls who love to chat and then we have 00:06:36.420 --> 00:06:39.860 boys who don't say so much. And this one student 00:06:39.860 --> 00:06:42.240 in particular raised his hand twice and shared 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.839 something. And he shared something that was pretty 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:47.019 like close to his heart about one of his animals 00:06:47.019 --> 00:06:53.339 dying and how his animal had like protected the 00:06:53.339 --> 00:06:55.980 family and all the animals from a pack of four 00:06:55.980 --> 00:06:58.620 coyotes. and how their animal, how their dog 00:06:58.620 --> 00:07:00.959 came back and was bloody and passed away and 00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:03.000 that's why they were getting a new dog. Anyway, 00:07:03.180 --> 00:07:06.819 when I heard that my heart just like I kind of 00:07:06.819 --> 00:07:08.620 got tears in my eyes just because he was sharing 00:07:08.620 --> 00:07:12.339 something so real, you know, and at the end of 00:07:12.339 --> 00:07:15.550 it. I was able to bear testimony to all the kids. 00:07:15.889 --> 00:07:17.689 Because they'd shared something from the heart, 00:07:17.750 --> 00:07:19.930 each one of them that week, I was able to bear 00:07:19.930 --> 00:07:22.649 testimony and say, you know, Jesus knows you. 00:07:22.910 --> 00:07:25.410 He sees you. He's excited for you to go get this 00:07:25.410 --> 00:07:28.189 new dog that you're getting and he sees your 00:07:28.189 --> 00:07:29.589 broken heart over the other one. You know, just 00:07:29.589 --> 00:07:32.029 each one of them as we, so that's one thing I 00:07:32.029 --> 00:07:34.990 like is for us to invite them to share things. 00:07:34.990 --> 00:07:37.610 Because when they do do that, we know more of 00:07:37.610 --> 00:07:41.899 what to say to be more specific and really fine 00:07:41.899 --> 00:07:43.639 tune that teaching and let them know that Christ 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.180 also sees them. Heavenly Father also sees them. 00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:49.500 So now we're going to consider another scenario, 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:53.040 a more effective one. We do, we put our time 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:55.439 into preparation for ourselves in that same way. 00:07:55.459 --> 00:07:57.740 And this time we think of a question to share 00:07:57.740 --> 00:08:00.300 with the learners in advance of the lesson and 00:08:00.300 --> 00:08:01.860 encourage them to come with any question that 00:08:01.860 --> 00:08:03.500 they thought on their own study and learning. 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:05.500 And of course, this is age appropriate, right? 00:08:05.699 --> 00:08:07.240 Sometimes kids aren't going to, they're going 00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:09.459 to have things like you know, on a lower level, 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.079 or sorry, a more basic level. The lesson plan 00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:14.459 is gospel -based, meaning it's centered in true 00:08:14.459 --> 00:08:17.680 doctrine, which is a point we will focus on in 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:21.420 a little bit. But those questions your diligent 00:08:21.420 --> 00:08:23.339 learners have been considering for a week or 00:08:23.339 --> 00:08:26.000 more influence the direction of this discussion. 00:08:26.300 --> 00:08:28.480 So you're less concerned with covering every 00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:30.160 single thing, right? Like, oh, we didn't get 00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:32.620 to this or that. Becoming the facilitator of 00:08:32.620 --> 00:08:35.279 everything that these diligent learners have 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:37.659 brought to discuss. Some in the group may be 00:08:37.659 --> 00:08:39.200 having an experience with the spirit, but if 00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:40.960 you are feeling it, invite them to recognize 00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:43.379 that the things coming to their own hearts and 00:08:43.379 --> 00:08:46.440 mind is actually personal revelation. Then when 00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.580 we finish a lesson, we don't really consider 00:08:48.580 --> 00:08:52.860 it because we hit each, you know, maybe a success 00:08:52.860 --> 00:08:55.299 if we hit each and every bullet point that we 00:08:55.299 --> 00:08:58.059 planned out in advance because we skipped other 00:08:58.059 --> 00:09:00.419 comments and things like that. It's pretty much 00:09:00.419 --> 00:09:02.360 the essence of the lesson that we gave. And when 00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:06.080 we have connection with our those that we're 00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:09.480 teaching, it is always a better outcome. Our 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.419 success as a teacher actually comes from seeing 00:09:11.419 --> 00:09:13.700 that the learners are sharing and developing 00:09:13.700 --> 00:09:16.720 habits of life lifelong discipleship. That would 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.580 be the mark of a great teacher. I love just thinking 00:09:20.580 --> 00:09:22.120 about the scenario of the two different types 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.120 of teachers. I know that the heart's in the right 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:26.120 place. And I know that the teacher that comes 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:29.120 with the eight by 10 and the bullet points and 00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:31.740 really concerned about covering everything has 00:09:31.740 --> 00:09:34.580 a great heart at the core of it. They wouldn't 00:09:34.580 --> 00:09:36.340 have put the time and preparation into that lesson 00:09:36.340 --> 00:09:39.460 if they didn't love these learners. Right. I 00:09:39.460 --> 00:09:44.759 agree. Kids these days have so much to share 00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:47.080 and we have so much to be blessed by when it's 00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:49.659 a more collaborative effort. Yes, you can tell 00:09:49.659 --> 00:09:52.259 when kids are trying to like sidetrack you and 00:09:52.259 --> 00:09:54.679 like purposefully steer you away from the lesson 00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.100 material, but When they're sharing from the heart, 00:09:58.279 --> 00:09:59.700 it's different like who cares where the lesson 00:09:59.700 --> 00:10:01.659 goes to what it has nothing to do with the lesson 00:10:01.659 --> 00:10:03.639 I mean, that's the great part about the home 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:06.460 centered gospel the church supported. It's like 00:10:06.490 --> 00:10:09.809 We're hopeful that the lesson material is already 00:10:09.809 --> 00:10:12.570 there in the heart than the piece that they've 00:10:12.570 --> 00:10:14.730 come to church to share or the thing that sparks 00:10:14.730 --> 00:10:17.710 for them to share. You can't predict what that's 00:10:17.710 --> 00:10:20.690 going to be. And you can't hope that it's exactly 00:10:20.690 --> 00:10:22.929 a specific answer so that it can just flow right 00:10:22.929 --> 00:10:24.389 in with your lesson the way that you've planned 00:10:24.389 --> 00:10:26.730 it out. Right. And if it's in your heart, then 00:10:26.730 --> 00:10:28.549 you'll be able to kind of take that detour and 00:10:28.549 --> 00:10:30.990 still make it totally work. Because everything 00:10:30.990 --> 00:10:33.570 can be turned back to Jesus Christ, right? So 00:10:33.570 --> 00:10:35.850 much catching up today because we've had like 00:10:35.850 --> 00:10:39.809 six weeks of like primary program practice or 00:10:39.809 --> 00:10:42.970 we had a general conference, we had state conference, 00:10:43.529 --> 00:10:47.139 Amy was gone one week, I was gone one week. Anyway, 00:10:47.620 --> 00:10:49.419 scenario, like just kind of a, just multitude. 00:10:49.539 --> 00:10:50.799 And then it was supposed to be fifth Sunday, 00:10:50.980 --> 00:10:52.340 which it's hit and miss whether we're teaching 00:10:52.340 --> 00:10:54.740 or not, but we ended up teaching. So I think 00:10:54.740 --> 00:10:56.820 they had a lot of energy that they wanted to 00:10:56.820 --> 00:10:58.139 share. And I was like, okay, I knew that was 00:10:58.139 --> 00:10:59.899 going to be the case. So we just came off singing 00:10:59.899 --> 00:11:03.659 a very powerful song on choose him again. And 00:11:03.659 --> 00:11:05.259 when it's a fifth Sunday in primary, we're supposed 00:11:05.259 --> 00:11:08.320 to focus on covenant path, appendix B or whatever, 00:11:08.740 --> 00:11:10.600 not just the lesson material. So I'm like, okay. 00:11:10.889 --> 00:11:12.549 We've, we were coming off this high note with 00:11:12.549 --> 00:11:14.769 this song. So we're going to hit the lesson first 00:11:14.769 --> 00:11:17.090 when typically Amy and I, we get them opened 00:11:17.090 --> 00:11:19.610 up and sharing and participating by letting us 00:11:19.610 --> 00:11:21.850 know whatever's on their mind from the week. 00:11:22.029 --> 00:11:24.289 Not necessarily church related. So I was like, 00:11:24.950 --> 00:11:27.490 I'd prepared this for the podcast, you know, 00:11:27.690 --> 00:11:29.110 earlier in the week and it kind of on my mind. 00:11:29.129 --> 00:11:31.419 And I was like, well, if we can just. go into 00:11:31.419 --> 00:11:33.820 the lesson, then we can know what kind of time 00:11:33.820 --> 00:11:36.019 we have at the end to save. So when they're just 00:11:36.019 --> 00:11:40.179 going on story after story, they're like, one 00:11:40.179 --> 00:11:41.820 of our guys is like, church is over. I'm like, 00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:44.100 exactly. So we can wrap it up. Like there's an 00:11:44.100 --> 00:11:45.879 obvious end to their stories. They all matter 00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:47.779 to us, but like, we know that we got the meat 00:11:47.779 --> 00:11:49.860 of the gospel, like right there in the beginning, 00:11:50.019 --> 00:11:52.340 playing off of the great lessons that they're 00:11:52.340 --> 00:11:54.899 learning from the music. And that just happens 00:11:54.899 --> 00:11:56.940 to be for our young primary class right now. 00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:00.940 Seasons are different. Right. I know for a fact, 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:02.960 one of the absolute best ways to learn is by 00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:07.460 sharing what we have studied. So when I prepare 00:12:07.460 --> 00:12:09.600 a lesson, oftentimes the impressions that I'm 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:12.960 getting are for me to be tutored. And if I'm 00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:14.759 like, oh, I just want everybody to feel that 00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:17.039 and come to that conclusion, that's not really 00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:20.100 the point of it. Stick to the lesson material 00:12:20.100 --> 00:12:21.759 because you know that you're in true doctrine 00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:23.299 if you're in the material that they've provided 00:12:23.299 --> 00:12:26.139 for you, but allow the spirit to decide what 00:12:26.139 --> 00:12:28.179 the learner is going to hear and experience. 00:12:28.899 --> 00:12:31.200 Absolutely. With usually a good question in advance 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:34.240 is the best way to get to the end goal. Yeah. 00:12:34.539 --> 00:12:36.879 When we're in the lesson and we choose to share 00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:40.919 something, Brother Webb shared this, it's true 00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:44.779 of all things. When we share in a lesson, we're 00:12:44.779 --> 00:12:47.950 exhibiting our agency. basically saying we want 00:12:47.950 --> 00:12:50.350 to be a participant, we're signaling to the Holy 00:12:50.350 --> 00:12:52.629 Ghost that we're willing to expand our capacity. 00:12:52.990 --> 00:12:54.889 Which, when we go back to that first part on 00:12:54.889 --> 00:12:59.850 hearing Him, a lot of that is growing our capacity 00:12:59.850 --> 00:13:01.230 to feel the Spirit and hear the Spirit. It's 00:13:01.230 --> 00:13:05.509 always there. How much abundance can we take 00:13:05.509 --> 00:13:08.389 in? When we act, we invite more. So if you're 00:13:08.389 --> 00:13:10.049 not feeling it, you're not feeling inspired by 00:13:10.049 --> 00:13:13.070 lessons, even if you don't want to, start with 00:13:13.070 --> 00:13:16.700 participating. Say something. And then it becomes 00:13:16.700 --> 00:13:18.899 more like family father wants something said 00:13:18.899 --> 00:13:20.860 from the pulpit like I hate bearing my testimony 00:13:20.860 --> 00:13:22.320 I don't really like to plan that in advance, 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:25.340 but I've When I know that it's like time to bear 00:13:25.340 --> 00:13:27.720 my testimony I'll be like, hey if there's something 00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:30.690 you want me to share on the pulpit like impressed 00:13:30.690 --> 00:13:32.929 me to do so. And I've said that prayer and been 00:13:32.929 --> 00:13:35.690 just content to sit and listen to the testimonies 00:13:35.690 --> 00:13:37.690 that are born. A lot of times things were on 00:13:37.690 --> 00:13:39.809 my mind, comes out of the mouth of another speaker 00:13:39.809 --> 00:13:41.950 and I'm like, that's so great. They said it, 00:13:41.970 --> 00:13:44.210 what was on my heart. But sometimes I'll say, 00:13:44.210 --> 00:13:46.350 you know, be your mouthpiece, tell me, you know, 00:13:46.509 --> 00:13:47.870 impressed with me, what you want me to share. 00:13:48.169 --> 00:13:49.710 And then your heart's beating like it's going 00:13:49.710 --> 00:13:52.649 to like just... pop out of your chest and it 00:13:52.649 --> 00:13:54.210 propels you up to the stand. You're like, what 00:13:54.210 --> 00:13:55.950 am I doing up here? What am I going to say? And 00:13:55.950 --> 00:13:57.230 you open your mouth and you share whatever you're 00:13:57.230 --> 00:13:59.149 going to share and you feel that relief. Like 00:13:59.149 --> 00:14:02.129 I shared whatever I needed to. Sometimes that's 00:14:02.129 --> 00:14:04.590 for me. Sometimes, you know, from a comment after 00:14:04.590 --> 00:14:06.909 like, thank you for sharing that really touched 00:14:06.909 --> 00:14:09.690 me or sparks the next testimony, whatever the 00:14:09.690 --> 00:14:13.490 case may be. Like just pairing yourself with 00:14:13.490 --> 00:14:15.490 the Holy Ghost in those scenarios, I've seen 00:14:15.490 --> 00:14:18.009 huge growth to my own testimony in that way. 00:14:19.899 --> 00:14:23.379 President Nelson invited us, like I said, to 00:14:23.379 --> 00:14:26.179 do this in this way, to hear him. And so I love 00:14:26.179 --> 00:14:29.659 this from the talk Elder Webb shared. As in all 00:14:29.659 --> 00:14:31.740 things, Jesus Christ is the perfect example. 00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:34.159 He has invited each of us to be diligent learners 00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:36.460 and to take charge of our own testimonies. He 00:14:36.460 --> 00:14:38.919 invited his disciples to prepare to learn, to 00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:40.480 share what they were learning, and to act in 00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:43.019 faith. He prayed for them, saw their divine potential, 00:14:43.299 --> 00:14:45.220 listened to them, and helped them know they were 00:14:45.220 --> 00:14:47.769 loved and needed. Um, when you see these things 00:14:47.769 --> 00:14:50.809 in others that you're teaching, I just want to 00:14:50.809 --> 00:14:53.309 agree with Amy here. Don't hesitate to share 00:14:53.309 --> 00:14:55.669 with them these things that you're seeing from 00:14:55.669 --> 00:14:57.169 them, these qualities, these characteristics. 00:14:57.629 --> 00:14:59.350 Be so appreciative of the comments that they're 00:14:59.350 --> 00:15:01.230 saying. Sometimes we don't articulate the things 00:15:01.230 --> 00:15:03.750 we want to say the best, but if we're encouraged 00:15:03.750 --> 00:15:07.250 to participate and to share, even if we flub 00:15:07.250 --> 00:15:10.190 it up, then we're going to do it more and we're 00:15:10.190 --> 00:15:12.049 going to have more opportunities and encounters 00:15:12.049 --> 00:15:21.529 with the spirit. He also said, don't, I don't 00:15:21.529 --> 00:15:25.809 know if I said this already, but he said, words 00:15:25.809 --> 00:15:27.850 of encouragement, oh, this is good, words of 00:15:27.850 --> 00:15:29.909 encouragement from a trusted teacher could be 00:15:29.909 --> 00:15:32.269 just the spark that makes a huge change in another's 00:15:32.269 --> 00:15:36.169 life. So, I mean, he had mentioned this teacher 00:15:36.169 --> 00:15:38.389 that he had that said something about him being 00:15:38.389 --> 00:15:43.559 a good writer. and basically like with more focused 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:45.500 effort, you could be really good at writing. 00:15:45.620 --> 00:15:47.120 It's like I never even thought of it that way. 00:15:47.500 --> 00:15:49.740 So she said something, it could have gone in 00:15:49.740 --> 00:15:52.179 one ear and out the other, but apparently he 00:15:52.179 --> 00:15:54.059 really took it to heart and he really invested 00:15:54.059 --> 00:15:57.320 in his education at that point in the writing 00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:00.039 aspect. Reading through this talk, for instance. 00:16:00.539 --> 00:16:02.919 It's well written. Very well written. So, I mean, 00:16:03.059 --> 00:16:06.419 he took a document that we have, I don't know 00:16:06.419 --> 00:16:08.679 if he was participated in helping form that document. 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:11.759 He's been in church education forever, but I'm 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:13.960 not sure how far back that goes, but he put into 00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:17.120 beautiful words something, my visual brain does 00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:19.759 need to see the document, but knowing the document 00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:21.379 and then hearing the words, I'm like, oh, he 00:16:21.379 --> 00:16:23.620 made that very obvious and clear what the purpose 00:16:23.620 --> 00:16:26.019 is. When we open our mouths to teach, if we want 00:16:26.019 --> 00:16:29.379 to do it with the spirit, here's the way to do 00:16:29.379 --> 00:16:35.120 it. Any other thoughts on this piece of the diagram? 00:16:35.700 --> 00:16:38.940 No, I feel like we've covered it. Or I have. 00:16:40.379 --> 00:16:43.080 Let's move on to another essential part of the 00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:45.120 equation, and that is to teach the doctrine. 00:16:45.980 --> 00:16:49.059 We could ask ourselves a question. Is my gospel 00:16:49.059 --> 00:16:51.259 study an instruction rooted in the Word of God? 00:16:52.059 --> 00:16:54.960 There's enough true doctrine that we can study 00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:57.419 that we don't need to sensationalize or speculate 00:16:57.419 --> 00:17:00.330 on what the Lord has not revealed. From the talk, 00:17:00.409 --> 00:17:02.429 he says, focus on essential and eternal gospel 00:17:02.429 --> 00:17:04.329 principles, which allows the spirit to testify 00:17:04.329 --> 00:17:07.069 of truth. Again, we follow the example of the 00:17:07.069 --> 00:17:09.670 Savior. He said, my doctrine is not mine, but 00:17:09.670 --> 00:17:15.509 he that sent me. I know people get fixed on like 00:17:15.509 --> 00:17:18.150 a point of doctrine that they're unsettled with. 00:17:18.410 --> 00:17:21.539 They spend more time looking at that. There's 00:17:21.539 --> 00:17:24.180 a lot of question marks, too. You know, certainly 00:17:24.180 --> 00:17:26.299 there's an opportunity to study up on that and 00:17:26.299 --> 00:17:28.720 read as much as we do know, truth revealed, on 00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:31.299 that difficult thing. But I know that it's always 00:17:31.299 --> 00:17:37.779 a good idea to focus our efforts on, like, root 00:17:37.779 --> 00:17:40.500 ourselves on the basic principles and premise 00:17:40.500 --> 00:17:42.779 of the gospel. Because a lot of the things that 00:17:42.779 --> 00:17:45.480 we get uncertain on is because of the way that 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:49.099 man has interpreted that thing. Right. Is that 00:17:49.099 --> 00:17:53.450 too vague? I don't want to stir up any drama, 00:17:53.710 --> 00:17:55.029 like what people are struggling with, because 00:17:55.029 --> 00:17:57.269 I want to say it's very valid if you struggle 00:17:57.269 --> 00:17:59.349 with the concept in the gospel, you should have 00:17:59.349 --> 00:18:01.750 that struggle. That should be something that 00:18:01.750 --> 00:18:03.950 you feel comfortable enough that you have the 00:18:03.950 --> 00:18:06.789 opportunity to wrestle with. But a lot of the 00:18:06.789 --> 00:18:11.210 times the way to resolve that issue is to tenfold 00:18:11.210 --> 00:18:13.509 center yourself on the truth that you do know. 00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:17.359 And for me to go to God rather than someone else, 00:18:17.980 --> 00:18:22.579 right? Right. So when you want answers to those 00:18:22.579 --> 00:18:25.339 secondary things, those pieces and parts of the 00:18:25.339 --> 00:18:28.160 gospel that are unsettling, why is it fair that 00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:31.079 you're going to a source that has no intention 00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:32.839 of pointing you back to Jesus Christ? They're 00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:35.099 usually trying to point you to them, whatever 00:18:35.099 --> 00:18:40.819 they want you to follow in their world. So our 00:18:40.819 --> 00:18:44.099 source material is very important to consider 00:18:44.099 --> 00:18:46.359 when we have a desire to focus on true doctrine. 00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:49.140 So where do we find this? We find it in the scriptures. 00:18:49.579 --> 00:18:52.140 We find it in teachings of modern prophets through 00:18:52.140 --> 00:18:55.680 general conference. And also, studying the scriptures 00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:58.220 individually and his family's attending church 00:18:58.220 --> 00:19:01.579 each week gives us multiple options to hear his 00:19:01.579 --> 00:19:04.680 doctrine and also to hear him. Never before in 00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:07.599 history of the world have we had such an incredible 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:10.579 opportunity to access true doctrine. And at the 00:19:10.579 --> 00:19:13.900 same time, it has never been easier to find false 00:19:13.900 --> 00:19:17.539 doctrine. When we feast upon the word of God 00:19:17.539 --> 00:19:20.359 with consistent effort, we can learn to understand 00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:22.700 and also love the scriptures and trust that they 00:19:22.700 --> 00:19:25.420 have the answers to the questions of our soul. 00:19:25.740 --> 00:19:27.839 When we do these things, it's easier to spot 00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:29.500 false teachings through the same gift of the 00:19:29.500 --> 00:19:32.319 Holy Ghost. So yeah, Abby, like you were saying, 00:19:32.339 --> 00:19:34.200 to put more weight on the things that you learn, 00:19:34.220 --> 00:19:36.720 so each of us individually, from the scriptures 00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:40.019 and modern prophets through the Holy Ghost, than 00:19:40.019 --> 00:19:42.880 that of false teachings that others would have 00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:45.740 you believe from maybe their study, That's just 00:19:45.740 --> 00:19:48.480 far less reliable material than actually going 00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:51.299 to the scriptures and the source. So let's talk 00:19:51.299 --> 00:19:53.940 about the final piece of the equation. And this 00:19:53.940 --> 00:19:58.180 last one is to focus on Jesus Christ. It was 00:19:58.180 --> 00:20:00.380 a perfect timing in his talk when he shared. 00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:04.680 It's fun. I think it's fun that this talk landed 00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:08.339 in December, as a lot of people around the world 00:20:08.339 --> 00:20:10.980 are more focused on Jesus Christ at this time. 00:20:10.980 --> 00:20:14.240 I know we're trying to make Easter as, you know, 00:20:14.250 --> 00:20:16.930 Christ -centered is Christmas, but universally, 00:20:17.150 --> 00:20:21.430 I think people know Christmas triumphs and people 00:20:21.430 --> 00:20:23.769 are a little kinder, a little bit more thoughtful, 00:20:23.990 --> 00:20:25.930 a little bit more Christ -centered for sure. 00:20:27.170 --> 00:20:30.049 He says this, we can speak more often and more 00:20:30.049 --> 00:20:32.089 reverently of Him and seek more opportunities 00:20:32.089 --> 00:20:34.089 to express testimony, gratitude and love for 00:20:34.089 --> 00:20:35.869 Him. Whatever the setting is, we remember Him. 00:20:36.089 --> 00:20:38.910 We can have His Spirit to be with us. So in our 00:20:38.910 --> 00:20:41.849 lessons, how easily could we just insert a simple 00:20:41.849 --> 00:20:44.220 question like, Can you think of a time when Jesus 00:20:44.220 --> 00:20:46.940 Christ exemplified this principle? Yeah. In the 00:20:46.940 --> 00:20:49.680 material we are studying, we can focus on His 00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:51.680 titles, which is one of my personal favorite 00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:53.579 things to do. I thought of you when I read that. 00:20:53.819 --> 00:20:56.920 His roles, His attributes, seeking not only to 00:20:56.920 --> 00:20:59.160 learn what He has done, but also better understand 00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:02.500 who He is, if we want to be like Him. Yeah, for 00:21:02.500 --> 00:21:06.700 sure. And I found it helpful that Elder Webb 00:21:06.700 --> 00:21:08.920 gave a specific example. What is it, Brother 00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:11.839 Webb? Brother. Okay. Brother Webb gave a specific 00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:13.839 example of what this looks like. So he said, 00:21:14.099 --> 00:21:16.119 for example, when studying the principle of repentance, 00:21:16.259 --> 00:21:19.240 it's important to understand how to repent. But 00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:21.400 it's also essential to remember what Jesus Christ 00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:24.539 has done to make repentance possible and to understand 00:21:24.539 --> 00:21:27.380 what repentance teaches us about Him, about His 00:21:27.380 --> 00:21:30.019 true nature and His characteristics. What does 00:21:30.019 --> 00:21:32.640 our opportunity to repent say about His love, 00:21:32.740 --> 00:21:36.319 His patience and mercy, His belief in our divine 00:21:36.750 --> 00:21:39.029 potential, his willingness to atone for our sins, 00:21:39.509 --> 00:21:42.470 and the joy he finds in forgiving. That is awesome. 00:21:42.630 --> 00:21:45.630 I like that because it also, you know, sometimes 00:21:45.630 --> 00:21:48.369 when you think about repentance, like everything 00:21:48.369 --> 00:21:50.130 we learn line upon line, you know, and I think 00:21:50.130 --> 00:21:52.289 as a kid, you know, learning the lesson of like 00:21:52.289 --> 00:21:55.549 the things that you need to do to repent. Sometimes 00:21:55.549 --> 00:21:58.630 you get step one, step two, step one, step two. 00:21:59.150 --> 00:22:01.990 And I love that he says, you know, think about 00:22:01.990 --> 00:22:04.289 the true nature of Jesus Christ, why he does 00:22:04.289 --> 00:22:07.609 it, the joy he finds in forgiving. I mean, that 00:22:07.609 --> 00:22:10.450 just makes it much more of a personal relationship 00:22:10.450 --> 00:22:15.109 with each one of us and our savior. Agreed. I'm 00:22:15.109 --> 00:22:17.569 just thinking like there are at least three, 00:22:17.710 --> 00:22:19.869 maybe four chunks that I'd like direct quote 00:22:19.869 --> 00:22:22.650 him. So I'm just thinking back. He, it's not 00:22:22.650 --> 00:22:24.470 wrong, he is an excellent writer. I'm like, I 00:22:24.470 --> 00:22:26.170 can't say that any better than he's saying. So 00:22:26.170 --> 00:22:29.809 I'm like, direct quote from the talk here. Another 00:22:29.809 --> 00:22:32.750 awesome example that he pointed out. Okay, well 00:22:32.750 --> 00:22:34.670 first, he pointed out titles of Jesus Christ. 00:22:34.690 --> 00:22:37.210 So here are some names that he specifically mentioned 00:22:37.210 --> 00:22:39.690 in this talk. Lamb of God, Redeemer and Physician. 00:22:39.990 --> 00:22:42.230 So he says, when we consider these names, maybe 00:22:42.230 --> 00:22:44.210 it will help us to see that repentance is his 00:22:44.210 --> 00:22:48.210 invitation to cleanse, change and heal us. Cleanse, 00:22:48.230 --> 00:22:53.380 change, redeem and heal physician. Like, could 00:22:53.380 --> 00:22:54.960 you write that better? No, that's why we're just 00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:57.640 gonna speak it right exactly like he said it. 00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:01.039 Then, when he was talking about attributes of 00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:03.480 Jesus Christ, I also love this example, so I'm 00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:05.460 going to share it. He said, when we're reading 00:23:05.460 --> 00:23:07.980 about Nephi building a boat, we might focus only 00:23:07.980 --> 00:23:10.339 on Nephi. Focusing on the Savior can help us 00:23:10.339 --> 00:23:12.339 see that this record was not preserved to teach 00:23:12.339 --> 00:23:14.680 about how great Nephi was, but to show us the 00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:17.019 greatness of God, that he gives us strength to 00:23:17.019 --> 00:23:19.099 keep his commandments, delivers us in time of 00:23:19.099 --> 00:23:23.519 need, and Nephi. Nephi points to God, we should 00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:25.759 be looking for God in those stories. Absolutely. 00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:27.920 We can think Nephi is great, but that wasn't 00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:31.119 his intention either. So, love it when he said 00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:38.559 that. I do want to add my testimony. When we 00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:40.599 become engaged in considering the names of Christ 00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:42.920 and attributes of Christ, it'll become second 00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:45.119 nature to us and we will see him in everything. 00:23:45.700 --> 00:23:49.490 And if we will focus on Jesus Christ, teach his 00:23:49.490 --> 00:23:52.470 doctrine and learn diligently and also invite 00:23:52.470 --> 00:23:55.230 diligent learning through the Holy Ghost. It 00:23:55.230 --> 00:23:57.349 deepens our faith in Jesus Christ. It helps us 00:23:57.349 --> 00:23:59.970 to become more like him. And that really is the 00:23:59.970 --> 00:24:02.269 aim of all of our gospel teaching. When I got, 00:24:02.670 --> 00:24:05.910 again, Abby was gone last week, but I got home 00:24:05.910 --> 00:24:09.250 from church and I just had, my heart was so full 00:24:09.250 --> 00:24:11.390 after this lesson. I'd really thought about the 00:24:11.390 --> 00:24:14.960 kids. There was connection and... I just wrote 00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:17.839 a quick text to our Sunday School president who 00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:23.180 just put that together. Short and sweet teacher 00:24:23.180 --> 00:24:23.940 training. That's what I was gonna say. It was 00:24:23.940 --> 00:24:27.039 impactful. For whatever reason, we only had 20 00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:28.920 minutes. Yeah, and it was perfect. I think it 00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:30.859 was just the duration of singing time. And so 00:24:30.859 --> 00:24:32.599 he gets in, he's like, this is gonna be fast, 00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:34.920 but this is, so you messaged him. I just messaged 00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:37.599 him and I said, thanks for doing that because 00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:40.259 I have felt a difference. I said, I feel a deeper 00:24:40.259 --> 00:24:42.400 love of Jesus Christ and I feel a deeper love 00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:44.599 for each one of our little students. I love them. 00:24:44.619 --> 00:24:46.160 We're coming to the end of the year. Don't say 00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:48.900 it. I know, right? They're just so sweet and 00:24:48.900 --> 00:24:51.509 they have just such pure hearts. And I really 00:24:51.509 --> 00:24:54.430 feel like it was because we have been as a team 00:24:54.430 --> 00:24:56.589 teachers, we've been putting this into practice 00:24:56.589 --> 00:24:59.130 since he just brought that up and reminded us 00:24:59.130 --> 00:25:00.950 about it. And I just feel like this is another 00:25:00.950 --> 00:25:03.170 reminder. And so I'm bearing my testimony that 00:25:03.170 --> 00:25:05.329 it has made a difference just keeping it top 00:25:05.329 --> 00:25:09.190 of mind. And it has really brought a lot of joy 00:25:09.190 --> 00:25:12.470 to my life. I agree. Follow up, because I didn't 00:25:12.470 --> 00:25:15.190 catch the story of our little guy losing his 00:25:15.190 --> 00:25:17.430 dog, but he did share this week when I was there 00:25:17.430 --> 00:25:22.369 that they do have a new puppy. And no name yet, 00:25:22.390 --> 00:25:24.690 but that makes it kind of extra tender that he 00:25:24.690 --> 00:25:26.109 brought that up, that he knew that the class 00:25:26.109 --> 00:25:28.789 is invested enough in his story that he got to 00:25:28.789 --> 00:25:34.029 share like, hey, we got a new puppy. So I'm just 00:25:34.029 --> 00:25:36.829 kind of thinking when we create an atmosphere 00:25:36.829 --> 00:25:38.609 for learning and we're doing these things in 00:25:38.609 --> 00:25:41.950 the right way, what we can also see, we love 00:25:41.950 --> 00:25:43.589 the student, we love the kids that we're teaching 00:25:43.589 --> 00:25:45.589 that encompasses what we're doing, but I think 00:25:45.589 --> 00:25:47.799 they love each other. we know that they love 00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:51.019 each other. They notice when one of them is gone, 00:25:53.019 --> 00:25:55.880 curious about what they're up to, glad to see 00:25:55.880 --> 00:25:58.819 when they come back, and you teach activity days 00:25:58.819 --> 00:26:01.299 too, so I'm sure you're seeing them outside of 00:26:01.299 --> 00:26:03.720 just that Sunday gathering, them interacting 00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:07.180 with each other and these other things, and that's 00:26:07.180 --> 00:26:09.500 kind of the fun part of the gospel, you get together. 00:26:10.730 --> 00:26:13.609 You could you can have spiritual experiences 00:26:13.609 --> 00:26:15.309 you can have opportunities with the Holy Ghost 00:26:15.309 --> 00:26:17.829 even in the fun times when there's that camaraderie 00:26:17.829 --> 00:26:19.589 and that love is there that's been fostered. 00:26:19.589 --> 00:26:23.170 So absolutely It's been a fun class. It's kind 00:26:23.170 --> 00:26:27.029 of sad to think about them going moving on up 00:26:27.029 --> 00:26:29.490 But we still get them in primary to keep an eye 00:26:29.490 --> 00:26:34.589 on and we still watching Any other thoughts to 00:26:34.589 --> 00:26:37.490 share that was it I've loved this talk. I've 00:26:37.490 --> 00:26:40.230 loved reviewing it. I love sharing it. And hopefully 00:26:40.230 --> 00:26:42.710 we're reaching the ears of people that are teaching 00:26:42.710 --> 00:26:46.509 in their homes and teaching in, in. Immigrative 00:26:46.509 --> 00:26:48.470 callings, young women's, Relief Society Primary, 00:26:48.710 --> 00:26:50.809 Elders Quorum, wherever you're teaching. And 00:26:50.809 --> 00:26:52.809 maybe you're already just knocking this out of 00:26:52.809 --> 00:26:55.390 the park. And this is, this is your subscription 00:26:55.390 --> 00:26:59.549 for a perfect lesson. And, you know, maybe, maybe 00:26:59.549 --> 00:27:02.029 you've heard something today in reviewing Elder 00:27:02.029 --> 00:27:04.849 Webb's talk that your brother Webb. Brother Webb's 00:27:04.849 --> 00:27:07.829 talk that you think, hey, that's the tweak that 00:27:07.829 --> 00:27:09.609 he wants me to make. That's what's going to make 00:27:09.609 --> 00:27:13.210 these lessons a little bit more impactful, powerful, 00:27:14.170 --> 00:27:16.529 and help deepen people's conversion to Jesus 00:27:16.529 --> 00:27:19.589 Christ, the ultimate goal of our teaching. I'm 00:27:19.589 --> 00:27:22.049 going to close with his testimony. He says, I'm 00:27:22.049 --> 00:27:23.910 grateful for the teachers in my life who help 00:27:23.910 --> 00:27:26.329 us to know and follow Jesus Christ. I'm grateful 00:27:26.329 --> 00:27:29.829 for the Holy Ghost, the perfect tutor. It is 00:27:29.829 --> 00:27:31.470 through the Holy Ghost that I know that Heavenly 00:27:31.470 --> 00:27:33.670 Father loves us and has a perfect plan for us, 00:27:33.990 --> 00:27:35.990 that Jesus is the Christ, the Savior and Redeemer 00:27:35.990 --> 00:27:38.069 of the world, and that his gospel and church 00:27:38.069 --> 00:27:40.710 have been restored. I gratefully testify of these 00:27:40.710 --> 00:27:42.710 things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
