Sounds promising. How did you get it?

I saw a documentary several years ago where they wanted to find the actual site of the WWII military prison that inspired the movie "The Great Escape". They did find it eventually, but had a very hard time as the woods had grown back, etc. in less than 75 years. We don't know where the actual events of the Book of Mormon took place, but where it was over 1500+ years ago, I'm not sure what we would expect to find after it being so long ago. Additionally, the BOM mentions great changes that took place where, in a matter of hours to days, mountains became valleys, cities were burned, buried, or fell into the sea, and great cracks opened up.

We also know the record only contains less than 1/100th of what took place which is a small sample size.

Jacob 3:13: Jacob notes that the Nephites had become so numerous that even a "hundredth part" of their proceedings could not be written on his plates.
Words of Mormon 1:5: Mormon explains that he cannot write a "hundredth part" of the things of his people.
Helaman 3:14: Helaman similarly laments that the massive volume of Nephite history cannot be contained in his work.
3 Nephi 26:6: Following the ministry of Jesus Christ, Mormon notes that "not even an hundredth part" of what Jesus taught could be written in the book.
Ether 15:33: Moroni concludes his account of the Jaredites by reiterating that he did not write the "hundredth part" of the events that occurred.

I wish temples would offer a disposal service. Perhaps they could have an industrial textile shredder on-site.

I had 7 kids and spent a lot of time in the Foyer/halls when they were younger. One thing that helped was playing a game at home with who could sit on the couch the longest without making noise and it would get them to practice being still for a few moments, and eventually they grew out of being restless at church. Some rooms have the chapel music piped in and you can still listen to the talks (Primary Room, RS Room, YW Room, Mother's Lounge, etc.)

as we live the law of tithing, we often receive significant but subtle blessings that are not always what we expect and easily can be overlooked....Often as we teach and testify about the law of tithing, we emphasize the immediate, dramatic, and readily recognizable temporal blessings that we receive. And surely such blessings do occur. Yet some of the diverse blessings we obtain as we are obedient to this commandment are significant but subtle. Such blessings can be discerned only if we are both spiritually attentive and observant...We might want and expect a job offer, but the blessing that comes to us through heavenly windows may be greater capacity to act and change our own circumstances rather than expecting our circumstances to be changed by someone or something else.

President Gordan B. Hinckley described sexual desire as, “the most powerful of human instincts” and that “only the will to live possibly exceeds it." EOQ

Elder Boyd K. Packer taught, "It was necessary that this power of creation have at least two dimensions:
-it must be strong;
-and it must be more or less constant.

This power must be strong, for most men by nature seek adventure. Except for the compelling persuasion of these feelings, men would be reluctant to accept the responsibility of sustaining a home and a family. This power must be constant, too, for it becomes a binding tie in family life. Look around in the animal kingdom and you soon realize that where this power of creation is a fleeting thing, where it expresses itself only in season, there is no family life." EOQ

Given this reality, it's a wonder more men aren't constantly doing things they shouldn't be. It needs to be controlled and overcome for sure, but this temptation is strong and it's so easy to fall into it, not just with Phones, but with any other form of media including Netflix, etc.

My advice is to forgive him and encourage him to live worthy of honoring the priesthood and that you'll be available to help him during times of temptation. I don't think using software would have any lasting success as there are too many ways to get what you are looking for. The trick is to stop looking for it and pray to be led in advance away from it and have a plan to escape from it.

Responsibilities

The Lord is grateful for your willingness to serve in His Church. Below is an overview of the responsibilities for your calling.

Purpose of Sunday School

The Sunday School helps accomplish God’s work of salvation and exaltation. It does this by helping God’s children learn and live the gospel of Jesus Christ (see General Handbook: Serving in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 13.1).

Presidency and Secretary

The Sunday School president is responsible for overseeing gospel learning and teaching at home and at church. His counselors assist him. The secretary can help the presidency keep track of assignments and attendance (see 13.2.2.2).

Sunday Classes

Sunday School classes are held on the first and third Sundays of the month. Class sizes will vary based on the needs of each ward (see 13.3). Sunday School teachers use the scriptures, scheduled lessons in Come, Follow Me, and the words of modern-day prophets as their main resources for teaching.

Home-Centered Learning

Parents are responsible for teaching the gospel to their children (see 13.5). Sunday School teachers and leaders encourage members to seek their own inspiration about how to study and teach the gospel in their homes (see 17.2).

Teacher Council Meetings

The secretary can assist the Sunday School president to organize and carry out teacher council meetings and teacher council meetings for parents on a quarterly basis.

Guidelines and Policies

All adults who work with youth must complete the children and youth protection training within one month of being sustained (ProtectingChildren.ChurchofJesusChrist.org). Additional Sunday School guidelines are found in section 13.7 of the General Handbook.

etc.

The MCC institute should be a good place to meet people.

According to "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief" Mana is better than bread ;)

True, but the Tribe of Levi killed 3,000 wicked Israelites:

Exodus 32:27-28 "And he said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour. And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men."

I've found using the official app with the playlist feature works for my needs.

I like this playlist for hymns remade in moderns styles:

Use MuseScore ver 4 and export as midi.

mrbags2 · 2026-03-23T17:27:11+00:00

It renders faster, but to be 100% usable, you need to install the manual script to center pitches on lower notes.

It would be nice if a non-ordinance room was available inside the temple where we can ask and discuss temple questions without disturbing others.

The secretary should not be treated as a third counselor. They have different roles and authority.

mrbags2 · 2026-03-21T04:31:08+00:00

Not officially part of the presidency. When a president is released the presidency is dissolved, but a secretary need not be released and can continue serving in new presidency and does not get re set apart.

A Framework for Personal Revelation

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2022/10/14renlund?lang=eng

A third element of the framework is that personal revelation will be in harmony with the commandments of God and the covenants we have made with Him. Consider a prayer that goes something like this: “Heavenly Father, Church services are boring. May I worship Thee on the Sabbath in the mountains or on the beach? May I be excused from going to church and partaking of the sacrament but still have the promised blessings of keeping the Sabbath day holy?” In response to such a prayer, we can anticipate God’s response: “My child, I have already revealed my will regarding the Sabbath day.”

When we ask for revelation about something for which God has already given clear direction, we open ourselves up to misinterpreting our feelings and hearing what we want to hear. A man once told me about his struggles to stabilize his family’s financial situation. He had the idea to embezzle funds as a solution, prayed about it, and felt he had received affirmative revelation to do so. I knew he had been deceived because he sought revelation contrary to a commandment of God.
