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.

Merry Christmas almost. It's getting so close to Christmas. Let me tell you

where we're going to be this morning. We are going to be in Elder Pino's Talk. Let Doing Good be our normal. And we're also going to be in the

Book of Mormon. So you're going to want your Book of Mormon, Third Nephi 18. You guys,

because I have a special surprise happening this morning, so I was a little late in case you

started getting nervous.

But it took a little bit of arranging.

So I love that someone just said morning

from Surprise, Arizona.

And if all goes well, we're gonna have a fun surprise this morning too,

but please let everything come together.

Our cute guest who was supposed to be on this morning texted me and she was like 10 o'clock, right?

And I said, no, 9 o'clock.

And she said, I'm sitting in the dentist office waiting for my son.

So she's going to maybe join us later, and I have my computer in case she texts, so I just know that she's about to join us.

But if not, maybe a surprise guest is coming, which would be fun for all of us.
