It looks like we’re going to be learning about temple work and its role in the redemption of the dead.
I think it’s so beautiful that Heavenly Father prepared a way for all of those millions/billions of people who’ve never heard of Him or Jesus Christ to still have an opportunity to choose to make covenants with Him. Even if it’s after this life and well into the next one. I love how all of the little things were thought of and covered in the Plan of Redemption.
Lots of people have talked about temple work. I’ve made our usual checklist that includes the talks, videos, and book chapters shown in this week’s “Come, Follow Me” lesson plan.

Thank you so much for doing this with me! It’s so cool to know that we’re all working through the same things every week!

It’s a sad week. We’ll be reading about the martyrdom of Joseph and Hyrum Smith and then about the beginning of the Saints’ trek west. What a hard time for them.
We get to watch a part of President Holland’s talk about his testimony of the Book of Mormon. I remember when he gave that talk – it’s stuck with me ever since.
How has your testimony changed this year? Do you feel closer to the people who came before us? Do you have stronger faith in the Book of Mormon and/or Joseph Smith? What’s changed for you as you’ve read, studied, and pondered this year’s “Come, Follow Me” lessons?
There’s quite a bit this week. As you can probably imagine, a lot of people have born testimony of Joseph Smith’s call over the years. I’ve created two checklists to pick from. List A averages about 19-20 minutes every day, and list B averages about 28. You can find both of them here: https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-november-24-30/ (https://paisleyimperfect.com/make-a-plan-monday-november-24-30/)
Tell me in the comments how you’ve changed this year. I would love to hear about it!

It’s interesting to me that President Oaks became our new Prophet right before we got to these two sections of the Doctrine and Covenants. Section 133 is about preparing ourselves for the Second Coming (which we’ve heard a LOT about lately), but section 134 is about governments and how they’re supposed to serve the people.
President Oaks was a justice of the Utah Supreme Court – he knows a bit about governments and how they’re supposed to work.
I also find it interesting that he’s our prophet now when it seems like our government is a bit of a mess (it has been for a while – this isn’t a new thing). As we prepare for the second coming, what should our government look like? Is it supposed to be in chaos? Or should things be calm?
It’s not a mistake. Our Heavenly Father has a plan and it’s in motion. And the best part? We get to CHOOSE which part we play in that plan.
There isn’t a lot of stuff to review this week – our average study time is only about 15-16 minutes each day.
