Summary

This week, I'm in Doctrine & Covenants 129–132, discussing how blessings from God come through obedience. I share some real-life chaos, then dive into family history, temple work, and powerful stories about ancestors and eternal families—and how all of it brings us hope, help, and joy.

0:00.0	This is Come Follow Me for us, a weekly podcast where we feast on the words of Christ and have fun doing it.
0:07.6	I'm your host, Melanie Straub.
0:10.3	This is Doctrine of Covenants 129 through 132.

1:11.0	And the thought came to my mind.
1:15.2	Nobody's life is changing because you have a really cute antique booth.
1:21.1	That was the thought.

1:29.4	Although I am very good at this and talented and need to make dollars, it can't be my main
1:37.1	focus and it can't overtake my life like it has been. So I apologize for the missing podcast
1:42.6	like last week and for my busy brain.
1:46.8	Oh, and speaking of that, I am doing a fun thing.
1:50.5	I have started a little mini podcast within the podcast with my friend Camden,
