Sometimes we project our modern day experiences on those early days in the church and we can't

figure out why somebody did something the way they did it or why didn't so and so talk

to the Prophet Joseph about this or that. We really cannot do this. In our studies this week we

will be talking about some of those early elders who had traveled a thousand miles to get to

Western Missouri, had fulfilled a small mission, held a special conference, had dedicated the land

of Zion and a temple site in Independence, Missouri, had buried the first person to die in Zion

and now they were turning around and making their way back the thousand miles to Kirtland.

You can learn a lot in two thousand miles of walking and traversing in a wilderness land,

which we will see over and over again in the early history of the church.

Welcome to Meridian Magazine's Come Follow Me podcast. We are Scott and Maureen Proctor and we

are delighted to be with you, our many dear friends and family throughout the world.

This week's lesson will cover doctrine of covenants section 60 through 62 with a lesson entitled

all flesh is in my hand. We have to say thank you to the hundreds who responded to our fun

request to just say hi and tell us where you're listening from. We got a note from our backyard

neighbors Rich and Rebecca and at the other extreme from many many in Australia including

Jeanine Goldheart in Maroutida, Sunshine Coast, Queensland and Renon Smith from Sydney.

We heard greetings from Steve Hamilton in four ways South Africa and Hazel Rose Langmeyer

in Mountain Dorf near Salzburg, Austria. We had hello from lots of locals like

Mike Pennington in Belavista, Arkansas, Diane Borkland in Maplewood, Minnesota,

Brook Miller in Parker Idaho, Ruth Perry in Edmonton, Alberta, Gerald in Sherry,

Courtney from Mesa, Arizona, Lorraine, Gauden, Duprey in Schenectady, New York,

Dennis in Sharon Louder in Salmon, Idaho, Shelley Robinson in Addison, Alabama,
