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.

We're having early inklings today.

So hopefully some of you saw that we were having early inklings.

And if you didn't, you can, you'll, you'll, this will be up and you'll know that we did it already.

So today we have so much stuff going on that it was easiest to just dive in right now.

And it's one of my favorite days because it's the sprinklings days.

It's the day we go back and talk about everything that we've studied for the last six months.

And I'm so interested in your study and how and what we've learned and what we have how we've grown in the last six months that's what I have been thinking about so what I did

is the invitation that I gave you on Instagram, which is I just went through and

reread all of President Nelson's talk that he gave us, that kind of gave us our direction for this

semester. And then I went back through and read all of Doctrine and Covenants 109 from beginning to end. I don't know how many

of you had an opportunity to do that yet, but it was such a sweet experience for me to just, as I read

through each of the verses, I can remember things that have been happening in our life and in the past six months and lessons

that we've learned and things that we've talked about together.

And it just reminded me of even specific things that were happening at each of those weeks
