Week 11 | March 10 - March 16 | Doctrine and Covenants 18
Imagine what it must have been like to witness the first sacrament meeting in the latter days. Conducted by the Prophet Joseph, the early saints met to pray, sing, partake of the sacrament, and officially organize themselves as The Church of Jesus Christ. It was a day literally centuries in the making.

The Worth of Souls Is Great
Week 9 | February 24 - March 2 | Doctrine and Covenants 18
"I am a Child of God, and He has sent me here." While we know this to be the opening line to a Primary song, the doctrine taught in this sentence was a key part of the Restoration of the gospel. This divine truth was made clear even before the Church was organized when, in 1829, the Lord told the prophet Joseph to "Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God" (D&C 18:10).

Week 8 | February 17 - February 23 | Doctrine and Covenants 27-28
As the Book of Mormon was being translated, there must have been so much new information that Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery read from the gold plates: prayer, baptism, and the atonement of Christ to name just a few. Nephi's direction that all must "take upon you the name of Christ, by baptism" (2 Nephi 31:13) might have prompted questions on whether or not they should be baptized.

Week 7 | February 10 - February 16 | Doctrine and Covenants 10-11
The Lord is fully aware of our efforts to serve Him and bring about much good in the world. However, that doesn't mean everything will be easy. As we do our best to raise children in righteousness, carry out our callings, and love our neighbors as ourselves, we can be encouraged by the Lord's wisdom to "not run faster or labor more than you have strength" (D&C 10:4).

Week 6 | February 3 - February 9
We sometimes think the best way to do something is to do it ourselves. The Lord, however, wants us to work with Him in accomplishing His "great and marvelous work" (D&C 6:1). To do so, we must be humble and seek revelation to learn how we can be a part of His plan to invite all people to come unto Him.

Week 5 | January 27 - February 2
As the momentum of the Restoration began, many were "called to the work" (D&C 4:3). Among those were Joseph Smith, Sr., the prophet's father, who had also searched for religious truth for most of his life. Eventually, much of the Smith family would be instrumental as God's servants helping spread the gospel to the world.

Week 4 | January 20 - January 26
In the few years since the visitation of God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith had wondered what God would want him to do with his life. Again, in humble prayer, Joseph plead for guidance, "that I might know of my state and standing before him" (Joseph Smith—History 1:29). Again, his prayer was answered.

Week 3 | January 13 - January 19
As a teenager, Joseph Smith had pondered for many days about God and heaven. He had never prayed out loud in his life, but when he chose to open his heart to the Lord, the answer he received changed the world.

Week 2 | January 6 - January 12 | Doctrine and Covenants 1

Week 1 | December 30 - January 5 | The Restoration of the Fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
A simple prayer spoken aloud in the woods of upstate New York led to the most profound moment in the history of the latter-days. That prayer, and the following answer from Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ, were honored by the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in the year 2020, the 200th anniversary of the First Vision. Their proclamation, "The Restoration of the Fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ: A Bicentennial Proclamation to the World," was a reminder to the world that the events which had begun in 1820 will eventually culminate in the Second Coming of the Savior Jesus Christ. As we jump into our study of the Doctrine and Covenants this year, there is no better way to do so than to start with taking a deeper look at the First Vision.

Week 52 | December 23 - December 29 | Christmas
From Nephi to Moroni, every prophet in the Book of Mormon shared a singular, sacred purpose: to convince all people that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Some, like Nephi, saw the Savior's mortal ministry in vision. Others, like Alma the Younger, were witnesses to thousands of His power over sin. Some, like Samuel the Lamanite, proclaimed the signs of His birth and death. And still others, like the Twelve Disciples, felt the wounds in His resurrected body.

Week 51 | December 16 - December 22 | Moroni 10
The finale of the Book of Mormon ended as it began: an invitation from a prophet to consider the Lord's tender mercies. Moroni calls upon us to remember all that God has done for us, and that He will continue to bless us in many ways. One of these blessings is to know that the Book of Mormon is true, and that through the Holy Ghost, we can "know the truth of all things" (Moroni 10:5). As we remember the Lord and continually seek to know the truth of His teachings, we will feel His love for us each day.

Week 50 | December 9 - December 15 | Moroni 7-9
Have you ever received a letter from a loved one filled with cherished advice? Those are the kind of messages we don't throw away. Instead, we treasure them forever. In this week's chapters, Moroni shares a few of the letters written by his father Mormon. These letters detail sacred teachings that have helped restore many lost doctrines in our day. They also include a personal witness from father to son of the importance of having charity, "the pure love of Christ" (Moroni 7:47).
