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.

I'm so excited to be here and be here with you.

And we've got so many good things to talk about today. We're going to be in the Doctrine of Covenants, obviously section 109, but also section 138.

And then the talk that we are studying today is for ordained to serve.

And that's by Elder Stephen R. Bangeter is the talk that we're going to be talking about.

And I'm so happy to say I'm back in Utah, everyone, and had such a fun couple of weeks, crazy, but now I'm back home and so happy to be home and sleep in my own bed

so that was so good um okay and I should just give you an update of all of the things because

I'm trying to remember last Thursday where even was I was I home no I was in

call I was in Denver because remember I had such bad internet so we had the baby in Denver

and then on Friday I spoke at the young single adult convention in Utah and then I flew out at one o'clock on Friday and went back to Philadelphia

to Pennsylvania and to Caleb and Maria's house and then that baby we are so happy came on Saturday which was so fun

because that's the one that was so far overdue so now all the babies are here they've all

come we're so happy about that and and everybody healthy. So that's really, really good. And then

the, and now I'm back home. I'm back home with Greg, who's also doing really well. He's

had chemo this week. This is the third round.
