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.

Hello, our Inklings family.

All right. Because I am here with you guys. We're going to wait just a minute. Emily Snyder is joining us today. And we, sometimes this time change is tricky to remember because we switched it up on you guys halfway through the semester. So she is hustling to get here. But it's me this morning. Hi. My name is Rio. And I'm with

the Good News brand. And I love when I get to hop on here with you guys. Good morning.

Okay. So while we're waiting for M, let's jump into where we're going to be today. So

today's talk, I hope you're ready for some tenderness, maybe some teariness, because

today's topic is just so sweet. It is just the sweetest, and it's by President Ballard. Let me pull

it up here really quick. Remember what matters most, and I pulled a whole bunch of other talks because it triggered so many.

And you guys, it's kind of ironic that we're talking about relationships today and that they're

most important because we might have some little ones join me. I'm home. Welcome to my kitchen.

Because my husband last minute had a work opportunity that he and he drove to Salt Lake yesterday

and I didn't have time to find a sitter. So we're going to see how long my kids can entertain themselves,

but they might be here on my lap. We don't know. So just a fair warning there. But we are in,

remember what matters most by President Ballard and then the scripture for this week is

First Nephi chapter 5 so that is where we are in the scriptures we're so excited um okay I'm gonna watch

for M here and oh sometimes there's so many requests and we got to wait a minute so fun I, you guys have gotten to know each other, which I love.

You can just tell.
