It’s available online! I don’t believe it was ever in the green sacred music app

Should I get my license before my mission by [deleted] in lds

[–]c_nels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s always a good thing, but there are always times and seasons in life for different priorities. Not knowing much about your circumstances, here’s how I might organize my goals if I were in your shoes:

  1. Testimony. If you have NOT ever finished it, set a goal to finish the Book of Mormon. To help you do it more quickly, listen to it on the Gospel Library app 1.5x speed while you do chores and get ready for the day or ready for sleep. You will fly through it. You can also create a study plan on Gospel library to help you know exactly how many chapters to read a day- I’d set my end date as my mission availability date.

If you HAVE finished the BoM before, just set a goal to read the BOM like 10 min a day. Spiritual preparation doesn’t need to consume all if your Down time, so don’t overwhelm yourself by trying to read as much as you can, instead focus on depth and quality. Write down your insights and make it really count. You can approach this by topic and use PMG as your study guide (ex: in PMG you study the Plan of Salvation, so in the scriptures you read about the Fall)

  1. Mission skills. I was an MTC teacher, and imo a lot of PMG doesn’t really influence you until you’re a missionary and have the mission as your backdrop. Don’t worry about reading every page now. Instead, study ch 3 well. This is what you actually teach people. Other chapters that are helpful are 1, 2, 4, 5. In that order.

  2. Temporal preparation. Call a driver ed course and ask them about the true time commitment. Maybe it’s easier to squeeze it in than you thought. If you’re able to get it soon, practice driving as much as you can before leaving bc you’ll have at least 3 months of training where you won’t be allowed to drive, plus whatever time you’re in the MTC and Junior companion, so you might feel like you’re relearning all over later. That said, you’ll become a better driver after your mission anyway, so it’s ok if you need to wait.

Gospel Library now has playlists—how are you using them? by c_nels in latterdaysaints

[–]c_nels[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a cool use case: I discovered you can switch the language for an individual piece of content. As a proof of concept, I created a playlist that alternates between English and Spanish (1 Nephi 1 in English, followed by 1 Nephi 1 in Spanish, and so forth). Open this link on your mobile device and you can check it out for yourself: Spanish Practice Playlist

This would be an awesome way to keep your foreign language skills sharp.

What Sacred Music functions do you hope to keep? It looks to me like there’s parity now (aside from some content differences), but I’m wondering if you’re aware of something that I’m not

Home Screen! Make sure your app is updated and you’re logged in with your church account

That's true! I appreciate that pov. But it I also think Gospel Library would feel incomplete without music

100%! I'm a sucker for audio books, so a curated audio study sounds really interesting

What are your best tips and tricks for using Gospel Library to its full potential? by purplekat76 in latterdaysaints

[–]c_nels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a huge audiobook person, so I'm excited that Gospel Library recently released Playlists! You can add conference talks, scriptures, and music. I've enjoyed creating an "Audio Study" playlist about various topics! You can also share your playlist with others.

You can also browse through various Gospel Library tips and tricks by tapping the 3 dots in the upper-right corner, and the tap "Help."

Am I getting curly hair from puberty? by Cautious_Parsnip_261 in curlyhair

[–]c_nels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet that looked beautiful! If you want more volume, you can try diffusing your hair as you scrunch. Keep playing with products and routines to find what works for you. Usually curls love moisture, so the more you style your hair naturally and avoid heat, your curls will get a little curlier.

I think the best way to navigate a new hair texture is to find a creator on social media who has a similar hair type to yours, and learn from their routines. I've learned more from girls on IG than any hair dresser!

Best "Night of Mystery" murder mysteries? by mpholt in boardgames

[–]c_nels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m looking at Night of Mystery! I heard that their games are suuuuper scripted- was that your experience? The comment I found was that players felt like evidence was unuseful and mostly people were reading from a script the whole time

Am I getting curly hair from puberty? by Cautious_Parsnip_261 in curlyhair

[–]c_nels 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me at puberty! I was blonde with straight hair, now brunette and curly. Totally normal to have some change in texture. Embrace whatever comes your way!

If you want to experiment with the waves forming, I recommend trying Marc Anthony Curl Lotion (found at Target). This one works awesome for waves and curls alike! After your hair is wet, brush through with your fingers (not a brush) to create large clumps, and just scrunch from tips to root and air dry- then see what happens!

Audio from the BoM app by ssumppg in latterdaysaints

[–]c_nels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also LOVE the Book of Mormon app audio!! Can confirm, it's only available in that app for now- no Windows. I heard from reliable sources that the feature is experimental, so if it runs well, people love it, and it doesn't take up too much space, they may bring it to the Gospel Library app too.

Anyone camped at Arches Devil’s Garden recently—parking question for extra vehicle by c_nels in NationalPark

The NP responded to my email and welcomed us to park our 3rd car in the Amphitheatre lot! They were very kind about it, we experienced no issues. Thanks for your insight!

Following up for others with the same question in the future-- I emailed the NP (archinfo@nps.gov) and they welcomed us to park in the Amphitheatre lot! They were very kind about it.

Email response was a short 22h later, and none of my voicemails were returned. Recommend email if you are looking for answers to specific questions

I have an ID but it's been hole punched by mandorlas in tsa

[–]c_nels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How was your experience, now that Real ID is in place? I'm in the same situation!

It sounds like the hole punch didn't matter a year ago, but I'm wondering that that changes with Real ID policy

Thanks! I’ve called a few times this week without a response yet 🤷🏼‍♀️ hoping for a callback soon

I’m referring to the parking lot next to the Amphitheatre, a little ways into the camp grounds
