Holy Week – Luke 19:37-40
I love that Jesus said even rocks would praise Him if people didn’t. That’s Holy Week boldness right there. So if a rock can testify… maybe we can too.

These early missionaries mentioned in D&C 30-36 set a foundation for many eventually joining the church. I will always have a special place in my heart for one of them (see …D&C 32) because I am doing what I am doing today partly because of his desire to serve.
The Lord will often call upon the weak and ordinary things of the world to do some pretty extraordinary things. With the help of the Lord, the small and simple can absolutely “thresh the nations”.
I love the stories of individuals in D&C 30-36. The one in D&C 34 with young Orson Pratt is relevant to anyone who is new to the faith and has just been called to serve, but is not sure what to share.
The story of Thomas B. Marsh found in D&C 31 should give comfort to any missionary and their families as they depart from one another.
I remember hearing of missionaries talking about a program called “OYM”. I thought it sounded odd until I learned what the acronym actually meant. Pretty important in sharing the gospel! 😀
Section 29 really introduces this concept of “the gathering” and it has really “captured the attention” of President Nelson...and he has really emphasized the importance of it in our day to help the world prepare for the Second Coming of the Savior. 😇
The Second Coming of the Savior will be a crazy and scary time for some, but the first few verses of D&C 29 contain some hopeful, helpful, and glad messages to prepare the world for that great time.
Another aspect of the gospel that the world needs to hear is how the Fall is a crucial part of God’s plan of Happiness. And I think you’ll appreciate a nice take on an old familiar nursery rhyme.
One of the things that this world needs to hear to prepare for the Second Coming is that God has a perfect plan and Jesus Christ is our loving Savior. 🙏🏻
