This episode includes the story about Levi Hancock and the preface to the Book of Commandments.  I share the story of the Spanish Branch and my husband’s watch story from when he was young.  It talks about being excited about the gospel, letting the Holy Spirit guide you in sharing the gospel, and raising your kids.  And it talks about parenting.

This episode is about righteousness.  I discuss the importance of hearing the Savior's messages through the power of the Holy Ghost. We need Christ's love, and we need His help every day.  Alone, we have a harder time in this confusing and deception-filled world.  With Him and the sweet influence of the Spirit life can be filled with so much more JOY!
