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. This is one of my favorite inklings because it is the one where we go through and talk about the whole entire

semester, everything that we have studied and learned and how we've grown and how we're

different now than we were six months ago before we started this.

And I always spend the day before and last night and this morning just thinking over every conversation that we've had and all of the things that we've learned together.

So this is always our short one. We just do a little recap of the whole last

six months and then Rio makes us a little sprinklings paper that you can put in the back of your

binder and save it just as your memory of what have we loved

what have we loved and what have we learned and what have we done and so I just I want to think about

where we are let me just show you because this is so cute everyone here's what Rio made for us I'm going to read it to you

in a minute um but there is something for me as we gear up for this next conference ahead

there is something um that I love about just taking a minute to think about, okay, where have we come from?

What have we learned?

What have the last six months taught us?

And how are we different now and better now that we've been living just a little bit better

every single week.

And so then every single day as we've been part of growing together. So I don't know what your

notes and your conference binder and all of that looks like. But by the time we get to this point
