This is Come Follow Me for us, a weekly podcast devoted to helping us gain a deeper love

for the Savior and his gospel through a weekly study of the Scriptures.

Hopefully this study will help further prepare us to accompany the Savior as he seconds.

Come Follow Me.

some of which are recorded in the Dr. Mkhevinets 129-32.

What is the Savior like?

He's a man like unto ourselves.

What is heaven like?

That same sociality which exists among us here will exist among us there.

And our most cherished family relationships in this world,

if sealed by the proper authority, shall be a full force in the next world.

Truths like these can make heaven feel less distant, glorious, yet reachable.

unreachable.

For many early Saints, plural marriage was one such commandment.
