Because I am teaching the Family History class, I don’t get to hear the Gospel Doctrine lessons, plus the teachers in our ward have been at this for years and year and never do the research shown here. So, Ardis, I really appreciate the fact that you give us an opportunity to learn from yoiu.

That’s more of that interconnectedness of history that charms me so!

Loved the Hinckley and Grant coupled quotes.

That’s certainly going to be true for me, Amy — I can hardly believe how much I have learned in preparation these last couple of weeks — or believe that I was nervous about switching to the Book of Mormon this year because I was afraid there wasn’t as much scholarly or devotional help out there as I had found while preparing for New Testament lessons.

Wonderful. Between your notes and Julie’s, this should be a very educational year for Book of Mormon study.

Thanks, Julie — there’s always going to be more, isn’t there? I wish I knew what was actually going to make it into your lesson, because for me the hard part is narrowing down the material to points that can and should be discussed in the Gospel Doctrine setting, narrowly enough that they can be discussed in 35 minutes, while still sticking to the assigned theme of the lesson (something I still feel bound to do).

Thanks for this–I thought I was pretty thorough, but you found lots of great stuff I missed.
