Hello and shaken saints. Welcome back. We are go. We are live. We are ready to go on the Doctrine and Covenants,

including some material from Joseph Smith history, which is what we'll cover this week and next.

A couple of announcements for you before we dive into this week's material. First off, we're good to go with our daily devotional approach.

Now I began that with the first week and now that January 1st, First off, we're good to go with our daily devotional approach.

Now I began that with the first week and now that January 1st is officially behind us, those

are up and posted where each day there will be a briefer clip from the full material.

I've gotten some great feedback from many of you who weighed in after that first episode, and many of you who are weighing in on the daily devotionals now that they have begun,

and something that you can use at home or in church classes as kind of a plug-and-play lesson help.

We teachers got to stick together, okay, we parents got to stick help. We teachers got to stick together. We parents got to

stick together. We saints got to stick together. And so I hope that some of that increased

accessibility and ease will be a blessing to you. I also wanted to let you know, especially for the

rising generation, I just added a TikTok channel. And I feel so I feel so Gen Z even just thinking that, saying that.

But I added a TikTok channel.

It's called Unshaken Saints.

For you who have younger children or grandchildren or you young adults, yourselves,

dive into that, check it out.

And it is the shorter form, the daily devotional approach where you can

get a little bit of positivity and gospel light in your feed. I hope that that's a blessing to you.

Today we are studying the first vision in Joseph Smith history. Just 26 verses is all we have.
