Welcome to Inklings. I am Emily Bell Freeman, and I'm so excited to welcome you to a space where you and I get to experience a hint of something more together.

This is a community where we lean into discussions that will help us obtain a bedrock understanding of the doctrines of Christ.

Not overnight, but every day better.

Strength gathered over time. There is a place for you here. Looking forward to spending this

semester with you as we embark on a journey focused on becoming his. Hello everyone, happy Thursday.

Welcome to Inklings.

Let's just start out by talking about my crazy morning while I'm getting all settled and you're all coming on.

We've been having a crazy week and I'll tell you a little bit about that as we're going.

But meantime, I am flying out because Garrett had the game tonight. And then

Grace on my way here was like, Mom, you know the security lines are like hours long, which,

no, I haven't been watching the news. So I parked my car. I was going to do inklings in my car,

ran like the Dickens for security. Ended up being

fine, but now I'm in the airport. And then I had to walk all over to try and find a little

quiet corner for inklings. Now I found a little quiet, hopefully it stays quiet. It feels

quiet right now. And I'm just pulling out all my stuff and we're going to have our great conversation.

And let me tell you where we're going to be.

We're going to be in the Book of Mormon, so you're going to want your Book of Mormon.

And then the talk that we're in is we're going to be talking about what does it look like to take his name upon us.

And this is going to be a good, and I feel like a sweet conversation as we go through and talk about this talk today.

So I'm just pulling up my talk right now.

And then I'll tell you the exact name of what it is now that I have found a seat.

Meg just texted and she was like, mom, are you alive?
