Overview of the resources and stories available on the Gospel Library app 3:16 Overview of D&C 30-36. These revelations are given to individuals. Historical background of the Whitmer family helps us understand the revelations in context. 5:10 D&C 30: Revelation to David Whitmer, Peter Whitmer, and John Whitmer; The Lord uses words and analogies that are meaningful to a farmer; afflictions will be part of the journey, but they are reassured the Lord will be with them. 11:57 D&C 31 Revelation to Thomas B. Marsh who will in the future become the first president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. 14:39 D&C 31 Counsel given to Thomas B. Marsh can be applied to our lives today. “I will bless you and your family.” (verse 2) 18:24 D&C 31: Thomas B. Marsh is counseled to “declare the things which have been revealed to my servant, Joseph Smith, and the Lord will “open the hearts of the people.” (verses 4,7) 22:00 Historical background for D&C 32. The early Saints looked upon the Native Americans as Lamanites. They wanted to give them their Lamanite history through the Book of Mormon. 24:33 D&C 32 Revelation to Parley P. Pratt. He was called to go with Oliver Cowdery, Peter Whitmer, and Ziba Peterson to serve a mission to the Lamanites. The Lord promised that he “will also go with them and be in their midst.” (vs 3) 28:50 Parley P. Pratt’s description of traveling to the western lands to teach the Lamanites in early October of 1830. The real miracle of the mission was in the daily events along the way and the people they met. 37:13 Story of Parley P. Pratt being put in jail in Ohio and his humorous escape. 42:00 D&C 33 Historical context and revelation to Ezra Thayre and Northrop Sweet. 45:52 Why we need to stay focused on the basic principles of the gospel. There are two forms of apostasy, one stems from too little belief and the other from too much belief or looking beyond the mark. 49:44 D&C 34 Revelation given to Orson Pratt. He is counseled to spend much time in the study of the scriptures. Orson Pratt later created the 1879 edition of the Book of Mormon that includes the approximate dates, chapter breaks and verse breaks. 51:52 D&C 35 Revelation to Sidney Rigdon. He is compared to John the Baptist as a forerunner to prepare the way. (see verse 4) 57:53 D&C 36 Revelation to Edward Partridge who will eventually become a bishop in Missouri. “The Holy Ghost will teach you the peaceable things of the kingdom.”(verse 2) 1:00:16 Conclusion. Trust the process. If you don’t feel successful in reaching your end goal, look at the process instead of the outcome. It is in the daily events of our journey where our hearts are being prepared to trust in God more.
