Welcome to Part 2 with Professor Lori Denning, Alma 23 through 29.

I love what you both said, Hank, thanks for pointing out deep in the earth.

There's things that are so accessible in the latter days. I took a class at

BYU called How to Get Published. And I wrote some articles for the new era and some of them got published and the one of them was about

a pornographic magazine in the gutter when I was walking home from school.

I stepped right over it went what is that and then I realized and I went home but for two

weeks I knew that magazine was there and I still had to go to school every day and

eventually got cleaned up.

I've shared this with some of my friends and students and I've told them,

that was my one encounter with pornography as a teenager because I grew up in a different time.

You talked about accessible, Hank. Isn't it crazy?

But I love to encourage them to say Heavenly Father knew the world he sent you to in 2024.

And he knows you can do this. There are other things that are so accessible to our scriptures and our general conferences and everything else to help us to be strong in those hard moments because that was a different world.

I mean, can you even imagine how different it is now for our young people growing up if they have a

phone they have the whole world they call it windows they used to call it

windows and there's windows you should never look in that you can open now.

Crazy times but you can do it.

You can do it. I love the symbol of them doing the physical token, the action of making that sign and that token of the covenant, of burying their swords.

I remember my sister-in-law when she had little kids at the time, they were starting to use bad words at one point.

She used this story and they wrote the bad words on pieces of paper and then they went

out in the garden and they didn't bury them and they couldn't use them anymore.

And I was like, that's so cute and I'm like, maybe I should bury some words, right? Maybe I can do something like this, but it's a great analogy. If we go back to the thing we learned in the beginning, how stories affect our lives. We can replay the story and become stronger in our own
