In this episode Kerry and Kristy Taylor explore the amazing night when the Apostles joined each other in Far West, knowing that many wanted to kill them. Using the point of view of Wilford Woodruff, they look at what happened that night and how it still affects us today.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the scriptures are real podcast. This is the podcast where we talk about elements of the scriptures that make them more real for us because that helps us draw more power out of them and we need all the help we can get.
0:19.7	I'm your host, Carrie Mulesstein,
0:21.2	and I'm so glad to have back with me a returning guest. This is Christy Willwright-Taylor.
0:26.5	Thanks for being with this, Christy. Thank you for having me. That is my pleasure. So our audience
0:32.3	will remember, if they have been with us for a little while, that Christy was our guest when we covered Section 46.
0:39.1	We talked about spiritual gifts, partially from the point of view of Wilford Woodruff, because Christy has worked for a long time on the Wilford Woodruff papers, which is a really invaluable resource because so much of what we know, especially about what Joseph Smith taught,
0:56.1	is from Wilford Woodruff Journals. She's got a book that has come out. It was coming out,
1:01.1	I think, just when we did that last episode back in May. Tell us about your book.
1:06.8	It's called Prepare Me for That Use. This is my copy. You can see what a mess I make of my own copy.
1:12.9	Prepare me for that use lesson from, lessons from Wilford Woodruff's mission years.
1:17.8	So it's really about the lessons of discipleship he learned on his mission.
1:24.0	So it's a great topic for what we're talking about this week. It really is. It really is.
1:30.1	Wilford Woodruff is an important part of the events that are covered in the revelations that we
1:36.9	talked about in this week. And these were important events for Wilford Woodruff. Some seminal
1:42.3	things happen during all of this. And so let's jump in.
1:46.6	There's no way we're going to cover everything. So let's just cover a couple things really well.
1:50.5	That's what we like to do here. So why don't you take us in?
1:54.7	Well, so I really, I mean, I really would like to focus on section 118 that's calling new apostles and sending them off on missions to
2:02.9	England. It's maybe not the most doctrinally rich section and it's only six verses, but it's
2:10.6	really historically significant, I think, and it just has such great applications for, you know, practical lessons in discipleship and obedience and missionary work.
2:23.7	So I just, there's so much besides what's in those six verses.
2:27.7	So I'd love to talk about that.
