Here is a story about a sign that President Spence

Here is a story about a sign that President Spencer W. Kimball had on his desk.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
*This would make a wonderful little lesson and discussion for your family this week, and in your kit is a desk sign your children can make for themselves.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
"Prominently displayed on President Kimball's desk is a slogan which reads simply, "Do It." With this inspired leader, personal convenience comes second. Everything is done fo meet the Lord's convenience. His example for work has become legend and establishes and example for us all to follow" (Elder Robert L. Simpson, New Era, August 1977).⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This story goes wonderfully with the scripture we will study this week: D&C 41:5. The "teen chat" is also about this scripture and has a lot of discussion questions to dive into this scripture. 💛⁠⁠

Have you ever seen punched tin lanterns?⁠⁠ ⁠

Have you ever seen punched tin lanterns?⁠⁠
⁠⁠
These were common in the 1800s because the lantern would allow individuals to carry a candle without the flame being blown out. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Some families would make their own lanterns and punch their designs into it, so you may have been able to identify a family in the dark just by the pattern on their lantern!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
If you have ever been to the Newel K. Whitney store in Kirtland, Ohio - you would have seen these lanterns hanging in the store. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This week your children can make their own lanterns out of soup cans! Just follow the instructions in the kit this week. There is also a video they could watch to learn how these were made. ⁠⁠

⁠⁠ More. That is the perfect word to describe

⁠⁠
More. That is the perfect word to describe what we will study this week.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Because the saints were obedient and gathered to Ohio, the Lord gave them more. That is what we will see in these sections. He is giving them more - especially in D&C 42.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
And then after that He continued to give them more. Revelation upon revelation, He gave them more.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
And He will keep giving us more. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It reminds me of when President Eyring said this when they announced the emphasis on gospel learning in the home. He said:⁠⁠
⁠⁠
"The Lord is pouring out knowledge on His Church as He promised that He would" (October 2018 General Conference).⁠⁠
⁠⁠
That is such an amazing promise. It happened with the saints in 1831, and it is happening now. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I have watched President Nelson give us challenge after challenge. Each one with a promise that will give us more faith, more strength, more knowledge, and more wisdom.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
As you study these sections this week, consider what the saints received because they obeyed the Lord's command to gather to Ohio. George Q. Cannon called it "a flood of light." ⁠⁠
