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.

And welcome to the new year.

Also, that's so fun. let me tell you where we're going to be we are elder renlin's talk which you are going to love for the new year I'm so excited about

this being our new year talk. And we are going to be, hold on,

let me find all the places that we're going to go. So we're going to be in 109 for a second,

because we love 109. We can't resist it. So Doctor and Covenants 109. And then Elder Remlin's talk is taking on the name of Jesus Christ.

So that's the talk where we're going to be in.

And this is one of those talks where you love the footnotes.

So we're also a little bit going to be in the footnotes of this talk

as we go through. So your Doctrine and Covenants, the talk, and then let me just make sure,

yeah, that we have everything that we need. So here's what I want to start out with.

Two really fun things that we're going to talk about. But the first thing that I loved about

this talk and you're going to see it in the slides that are going to come up. I'll put the

slides up before I post this video so that you've got both.

But everyone, we were having crazy holidays between us and Rio. So the slides will come up right
