Hey everyone. This is Taylor Halverson from Book of Mormon Central. We've had a lot of requests to add our weekly Come Follow Me videos with myself and Tyler Griffin to our podcast. We are very excited to do this. However, just know that we use a lot of visuals in our videos. So if you ever want to see the visuals, check out Book of Mormon Central on YouTube. We hope you enjoy.

I'm Taylor. And I'm Tyler.

This is Book of Mormon Central's. Come follow me insights.

Doctrine and Covenant section 6 through 9.

Now, to set the stage for section 6, 7, 8, 9, we need to take a step back away from the scripture page

and look at the setting, what's going on, the timeline.

So very, very quick review here.

September 22nd of 1827 was the date that Joseph received the plates for the first time out of the

hill where he could secure them. So what happens is we get to spring of 1828 when we have completed this portion of the translation that would involve

what story we talked about last time, the 116 pages. And Martin, at the end of the spring, 1828, takes those pages home to Palmyra.

We lose them. So summer of 1828 is miserable for Joseph and Emma. They've lost their firstborn

son named Alvin. We've lost the manuscript. He's lost the plates, the

Yermann Thelm. He feels at one point like he has lost his soul. And it's pretty miserable.

That's when the angel Maronai came to him in the woods near their home in harmony, showed him the Yermon

Thelma with the beginnings of Section 3 on the stones that he then recorded down the,

like we talked last week, the first section recorded. In the winter of 1828, 1829, Joseph's parents, Joseph Sr. and Lucy, they came down

to visit Joseph, and in February of 1829, that's where Joseph received Section 4 that we talked

about last time.

Now watch.

Martin Harris arrives in March of 1829.

That's where we got Section 5.

So Section 3 was back here.
