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. Good morning, everyone.

Happy Thursday.

Welcome to Inklings.

It's so fun when we're just now in the study.

So we're going to be in the study today.

We're studying Elder Renlon's talk.

We're also going to be in the New Testament.

So you'll want your New Testament and then Elder Renlon's talk.

I don't know how you're doing your study this semester,

but one of the things I'm doing with my study this semester

is I have paired up all my notes from conference

with my wide margin binder, my wide margin from Rio,

so that I can look at what were the promptings that came to me

and then also really dive in and study the talk.

And we're going to want to get in and study what did we learn from the talk,

but also we are going to spend quite a bit of time in the New Testament trying to understand these parables

and how they can help us.

Let me grab our guest as we dive in and while you're getting all your materials ready.
