In this episode Kerry and Julianne go through the historical background behind these two amazing revelations. They provide information most don't know about regarding how things got started by the missionaries who arrived in Missouri. They also talk about the dedication of the land for creating Zion. They then talk about the Colesville group, and the death of Polly Knight and how that influenced Section 59. They also discuss the absolute consecration she exhibited and how we can learn from that, and what it really means to be a Zion people. That involves being anxiously engaged, and they explore what that looks like in our lives.

| 0:15.9 | husband, Carrie Mielstein. Thanks for letting me be on. |
| 0:21.7 | And we are excited to talk with you today, but I thought I'd just share, last time I shared just a little bit about how we met. |
| 0:30.0 | And this time I thought I'd share a fun story from those dating. |
| 0:36.2 | This always makes me nervous, just so you know. |
| 0:38.6 | Who knows what she's going to say? |

| 0:46.9 | He was in his master's program, and I was still in my bachelor's, |
| 0:51.3 | and I was working and running to classes and not really taking care |
| 0:56.6 | of myself as well as I should. And Carrie is just the kind of person to notice that and be |
| 1:03.9 | concerned and want to help. So he asked me if I could, or if I would allow him to bring me lunch which was fabulous and i |

| 1:54.8 | impression that I liked thick cheese and and and then I noticed the next time the sandwich came, the cheese was thicker. |
