00:00:04.860 --> 00:00:07.800
Paisley: Hey everybody, I am
coming to under the name of

00:00:07.800 --> 00:00:12.780
Paisley imperfect. It's not my
real name, I'm just going to be

00:00:12.780 --> 00:00:18.090
totally honest and upfront, it's
not my real name. I use my real

00:00:18.090 --> 00:00:21.660
name for I have some, I have a
couple of things published under

00:00:21.660 --> 00:00:25.890
my real name for the company
that I work for, and I don't

00:00:25.890 --> 00:00:30.030
want to cross those two right
now. So I'm just keeping this

00:00:30.030 --> 00:00:34.980
one for me. And we're going to
use the name Paisley imperfect.

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:39.150
Because one of the way that one
of my daughter says Paisley is

00:00:39.150 --> 00:00:42.600
the cutest thing ever. And one
of the ways that my or the way

00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:46.140
that my one of my other daughter
says the word perfect, is

00:00:46.140 --> 00:00:51.780
perfect. she pronounces every
single letter perfectly. I am

00:00:51.780 --> 00:00:55.980
far from perfect, not anywhere
close. So we're going with

00:00:55.980 --> 00:01:00.210
Paisley imperfect. I'm trying.
It's not gonna happen in this

00:01:00.210 --> 00:01:05.970
life. But I'm trying on that
note, and trying to become a

00:01:05.970 --> 00:01:10.020
little bit more like my savior
every day. I thought that it

00:01:10.020 --> 00:01:14.520
would be fun for I thought it
would be fun to study my

00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:20.640
Scriptures with other people,
and maybe start something new.

00:01:22.770 --> 00:01:27.900
Here's the thing, though. There
are a lot of a lot of podcasts

00:01:27.930 --> 00:01:31.920
and a lot of YouTube videos out
there that are following the

00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.400
Come follow me curriculum. I
don't really want to do that. I

00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:39.540
want to focus on conference
talks. And maybe I'm sure that

00:01:39.540 --> 00:01:42.240
we'll find connections between
the Come follow me curriculum

00:01:42.270 --> 00:01:46.080
and General Conference, I'm sure
that we will, because the themes

00:01:46.080 --> 00:01:51.000
are eternal, and universal. But
rather than following the Come

00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.480
follow me curriculum, I want to
follow the I want to look at

00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:58.560
things topically instead. So
we'll spend a month a topic. In

00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:02.220
June, for example, we're going
to talk about, Be still and know

00:02:02.220 --> 00:02:06.030
that I am God, we're going to
start with elder Bednarz talk

00:02:06.450 --> 00:02:09.060
from this last April's
conference called Be still and

00:02:09.060 --> 00:02:12.210
know that I am God, we're going
to start there. But throughout

00:02:12.210 --> 00:02:14.580
the month of June, we're going
to talk about being still and

00:02:14.580 --> 00:02:18.360
what that means. I love to I
would love to hear from all of

00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:24.750
you. So let me know what b still
means to you. But for make a

00:02:24.750 --> 00:02:28.020
plan Monday, for make a plan
Monday, we want to look at all

00:02:28.020 --> 00:02:31.170
of it kind of a holistic view,
right? We're going to look at

00:02:31.170 --> 00:02:34.530
come follow me. And we're going
to make a plan for the week.

00:02:35.100 --> 00:02:40.710
Now, the church has already made
the plan for us. So really, I

00:02:40.710 --> 00:02:44.010
mean, there, you can go to Etsy
or you can go to Pinterest, and

00:02:44.010 --> 00:02:48.300
you can download. You can
download a study plan, and

00:02:48.330 --> 00:02:51.720
hundreds of different formats.
Everybody has their own format,

00:02:51.720 --> 00:02:55.140
their own way of studying the
Scriptures. And however you do

00:02:55.140 --> 00:03:03.090
it is great. It's perfect for
you, this has to be for you. For

00:03:03.090 --> 00:03:06.870
me, I've tried those things.
I've tried printing out the

00:03:06.870 --> 00:03:11.550
study plan and writing all the
things that I just, I just can't

00:03:11.550 --> 00:03:17.250
do it. There are too many things
going on, life is too busy. For

00:03:17.250 --> 00:03:21.810
me to be able to do that. If it
works for you, please keep doing

00:03:21.810 --> 00:03:25.860
it. I'm not going to ask you to
change, make a plan Monday is

00:03:25.860 --> 00:03:29.850
about making the plan and
sharing the plan. It's a little

00:03:29.850 --> 00:03:32.970
bit of holding ourselves
accountable to the plan, right.

00:03:33.810 --> 00:03:37.140
Hopefully, we'll be able to do a
check in on Wednesdays, the chat

00:03:37.140 --> 00:03:40.590
the Wednesday check in, we'll
probably just be like a quick

00:03:40.590 --> 00:03:44.250
Instagram post, maybe Facebook
post, just to check in and see

00:03:44.250 --> 00:03:47.190
where we're at on our plan.
Maybe share a little bit of

00:03:47.190 --> 00:03:50.550
insight, something that worked
or something that didn't. I'm

00:03:50.550 --> 00:03:53.790
going to share my plan with you
today. And I'm going to show you

00:03:53.790 --> 00:03:57.000
how to create a study plan in
the Gospel Library app in case

00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.960
you haven't figured that out
yet. So I have I'm showing my

00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:05.100
screen, I'm showing my iPad
screen right now. And this is

00:04:05.730 --> 00:04:09.750
the gospel Library app on the
home hub on the homescreen. So

00:04:09.750 --> 00:04:13.020
in the bottom left hand corner,
you see that little home icon, I

00:04:13.020 --> 00:04:17.010
just tap that and this is where
I'm at yours will probably look

00:04:17.010 --> 00:04:21.300
a little different by default.
This, I can't remember what they

00:04:21.300 --> 00:04:23.220
call it. But this general
conference, the little blue

00:04:23.220 --> 00:04:26.310
thing right there that says put
you on the Lord Jesus Christ. By

00:04:26.310 --> 00:04:29.340
default that's usually at the
top. And the study plans are a

00:04:29.340 --> 00:04:32.760
little bit further down. But for
me, I wanted my study plan at

00:04:32.760 --> 00:04:36.540
the top so that when I opened
the app, it was like, Oh, yes,

00:04:36.570 --> 00:04:41.850
that's what I'm supposed to do.
I need to I need to do my Come

00:04:41.850 --> 00:04:46.530
follow me study for today. So
that's why that one is at the

00:04:46.530 --> 00:04:50.820
top. If you tap those three dots
in the top right corner, you can

00:04:50.820 --> 00:04:52.890
edit your home screen so you can
move whatever you want to the

00:04:52.890 --> 00:04:58.290
top. There are right now down at
the bottom. I have the quote of

00:04:58.290 --> 00:05:01.290
the day and the verse of the day
down at the Bottom, if you want,

00:05:01.290 --> 00:05:04.410
you can push those to the top, I
left him at the bottom because I

00:05:04.410 --> 00:05:07.530
also have the widgets on my
phone. So that I can see the

00:05:07.530 --> 00:05:09.660
quote of the day and the
scripture of the day, right

00:05:09.660 --> 00:05:13.740
there in the front of my phone.
But for right now, this is what

00:05:14.340 --> 00:05:18.030
this is what my front page looks
like. I have two study plans, I

00:05:18.030 --> 00:05:21.570
created both of them at the same
time, January 1, we're at the

00:05:21.570 --> 00:05:25.260
beginning of June. And I'm only
38% of the way through the Book

00:05:25.260 --> 00:05:30.630
of Mormon using the Come follow
me so 38% 50% of the way through

00:05:30.630 --> 00:05:35.040
the year, a little behind it
would seem. But I'm kind of

00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:38.250
caught up. And it's the first
time I've ever been caught up.

00:05:38.910 --> 00:05:41.250
In the interest of full
disclosure, I tried this last

00:05:41.250 --> 00:05:43.950
year, it did not work for me. I
don't know if it's just the

00:05:43.950 --> 00:05:48.660
difference between the Book of
Mormon and the New Testament. Or

00:05:48.660 --> 00:05:51.510
if maybe I'm a little bit more
committed this year than I was

00:05:51.510 --> 00:05:55.590
last year. But look at my plan
of salvation study plan is a 0%.

00:05:56.550 --> 00:05:58.980
And I created that at the same
time that I created the Book of

00:05:58.980 --> 00:06:04.230
Mormon one. So it is what it is,
I am not perfect. I am not

00:06:04.230 --> 00:06:06.720
asking you to be perfect. I'm
not asking you to change your

00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:10.950
plan. I'm showing you another
option that might work. In case

00:06:10.950 --> 00:06:14.040
nothing else has nothing else up
until this point has worked for

00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:20.910
me. So right here, they have pre
created study plans, you can

00:06:20.910 --> 00:06:23.640
create your own custom one, or
they have some they've already

00:06:23.640 --> 00:06:27.060
created for us. If you scroll
over a little bit, look, there's

00:06:27.060 --> 00:06:29.910
the plan of salvation one that I
started, if you're a seminary

00:06:29.910 --> 00:06:33.030
kid, or you have seminary kids,
there's your book of mormon

00:06:33.030 --> 00:06:35.790
seminary reading one over there,
all the all the way over there

00:06:35.790 --> 00:06:39.900
on the right. I just started
this one right here, this very

00:06:39.900 --> 00:06:44.310
first one book of mormon using
come follow me. If you tap on

00:06:44.310 --> 00:06:47.490
that, it brings up this screen,
and you can just start your

00:06:47.490 --> 00:06:50.850
plan. You start your plant and
it comes up with all of the

00:06:50.850 --> 00:06:57.540
check boxes for you. And we're
gonna just start right here on

00:06:57.540 --> 00:07:00.630
June 3 through ninth, because
that's where we're at this week,

00:07:00.630 --> 00:07:04.080
right? June 3 through ninth.
They were steadfast and

00:07:04.080 --> 00:07:07.140
immovable. And it looks like
this week we're studying mosaic

00:07:07.140 --> 00:07:11.400
29 through Alma four. And if I
count those little circles,

00:07:11.790 --> 00:07:16.770
there are six circles that need
to be checked off this week. I

00:07:16.770 --> 00:07:19.890
like checking boxes. If you
don't like checking boxes, don't

00:07:19.890 --> 00:07:22.530
worry about it. You don't have
to. I like checking boxes. And

00:07:22.530 --> 00:07:27.060
that's how I know I'm 38% of the
way through so far. For this

00:07:27.060 --> 00:07:31.980
one, if there are six boxes, and
today's Monday, that means I've

00:07:31.980 --> 00:07:35.370
got Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, I

00:07:35.370 --> 00:07:38.970
have six days of reading to do
before I get to church on

00:07:38.970 --> 00:07:43.530
Sunday. And that's my goal. To
have all of it read. Before

00:07:43.530 --> 00:07:49.230
church starts on Sunday. I said
read. I didn't say studied. I

00:07:49.230 --> 00:07:54.450
didn't say memorized. My goal is
to have it all read by church on

00:07:54.450 --> 00:08:00.960
Sunday. So there are six days.
So for me six, I got six nights,

00:08:01.170 --> 00:08:07.080
I got six checkboxes, I am set,
I'm good to go. I will do one of

00:08:07.110 --> 00:08:11.820
those each night, that might not
work for you. And that is

00:08:11.820 --> 00:08:15.120
totally fine. If that doesn't
work for you take a look inside

00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:20.040
the Come follow me book. And
check these check out these

00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:23.790
topics, ideas for learning at
home and at church right I can

00:08:23.790 --> 00:08:27.780
be a positive influence on my
community in my community. Maybe

00:08:27.780 --> 00:08:32.400
Mosiah 29:26. Maybe that's all
you've got time for on Monday.

00:08:33.030 --> 00:08:38.160
That's totally fine. Just do
mosaic 2926, right there in the

00:08:38.160 --> 00:08:41.490
middle of that paragraph. And
then just think about what it

00:08:41.520 --> 00:08:45.210
how it encourages you to be a
positive influence within your

00:08:45.210 --> 00:08:49.680
community. Look at Alma, chapter
2:1-7 through seven, you can do

00:08:49.680 --> 00:08:53.790
it topically like this, the word
of God can help me recognize

00:08:53.790 --> 00:08:54.630
false doctrine.

00:08:56.340 --> 00:08:59.220
Maybe that's the one that you
need to focus on for the week. I

00:08:59.220 --> 00:09:01.500
don't know it's going to be
different for everybody.

00:09:02.980 --> 00:09:07.480
When you're done, you can just
check off the box. And that

00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:13.540
feels good, right? We're gonna
look at Mosiah 25. Mosiah 25 is

00:09:13.540 --> 00:09:19.330
only 24 verses. Also check this
out at the very bottom, you can

00:09:19.330 --> 00:09:22.660
check the box right there if you
want to. So instead of going

00:09:22.660 --> 00:09:24.640
back to the other screen, you
can just check it when you get

00:09:24.640 --> 00:09:27.490
to the end of the chapter. But
also if you scroll up to the

00:09:27.490 --> 00:09:30.460
top, look at that little blue
circle that pops up in the

00:09:30.460 --> 00:09:34.150
bottom right corner. You can
listen to it. If you tap on

00:09:34.150 --> 00:09:39.250
that. Now if you're on Wi Fi, it
will use the pre recorded the

00:09:39.250 --> 00:09:41.530
pre recorded voice and there's
like two or three different

00:09:41.530 --> 00:09:45.010
voices that you can choose from
for the pre recorded voice. If

00:09:45.010 --> 00:09:47.890
you're not on Wi Fi, it will
still do text to speech but it

00:09:47.890 --> 00:09:51.610
sounds like a computer's reading
it to you. You can even check to

00:09:51.610 --> 00:09:54.400
see how long it's going to take.
So if you just tap right

00:09:54.400 --> 00:09:57.220
underneath of you tap in the
white space between where it

00:09:57.220 --> 00:10:01.570
says Mosiah 25 And it's got that
10 Second back Up icon over on

00:10:01.570 --> 00:10:04.390
the right, if you just tap in
that white space somewhere, it

00:10:04.390 --> 00:10:06.880
will bring this screen up and it
will show you that this is five

00:10:06.880 --> 00:10:10.330
minutes and 13 seconds. Are you
going to be in the car for five

00:10:10.330 --> 00:10:14.710
minutes and 13 seconds this
week? Any day doesn't matter

00:10:14.710 --> 00:10:19.300
which day for me Mosiah 25
happens to be my Tuesday

00:10:19.300 --> 00:10:25.630
reading. So Mosiah 25. Let's see
Tuesday. Between when I dropped

00:10:25.630 --> 00:10:28.360
the girls off at school, and I
get home, it takes me about five

00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:31.720
minutes. I can listen to this
between when I dropped my girls

00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:36.640
off and when I get home, five
minutes. But let's be real for

00:10:36.640 --> 00:10:39.040
just a second because sometimes
it takes you a minute to figure

00:10:39.040 --> 00:10:42.730
out how to get it set up. Right.
So maybe it's six minutes

00:10:42.730 --> 00:10:46.150
instead of five minutes. I think
I still think I got six minutes

00:10:46.150 --> 00:10:48.580
between the time I dropped my
girls off and the time I get

00:10:48.580 --> 00:10:56.320
home. So I could listen to this
in the car. After drop off. If

00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:02.980
we go back and we look at Mosiah
26. How long is Mosiah 26? Was

00:11:02.980 --> 00:11:07.600
it 26 is 39 versus five minutes
and 13 seconds. Oh, that's

00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:12.730
Mosiah 25. Hold on. Oh, there is
some this is one thing about the

00:11:12.730 --> 00:11:15.460
app that kind of drives me a
little crazy. Scroll back up to

00:11:15.460 --> 00:11:19.750
the top, it still says Mosiah 25
at the bottom. But if you go

00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:23.140
back to the top and you hit that
little blue button again, it

00:11:23.140 --> 00:11:27.790
will switch it to Mosiah 26.
Mosiah 26 is seven minutes and

00:11:27.790 --> 00:11:31.750
40 seconds. It's a little bit
longer, a couple of minutes

00:11:31.750 --> 00:11:34.750
longer. Maybe you don't have
seven minutes on Wednesday.

00:11:35.350 --> 00:11:38.410
That's fine. So I have this
friend who likes to tell me that

00:11:38.410 --> 00:11:41.800
I can't boil the ocean. And
she's right. I can't boil the

00:11:41.800 --> 00:11:45.160
ocean. But there's also the
analogy of eating an elephant,

00:11:45.160 --> 00:11:48.730
right? How do you eat an
elephant, one bite at a time.

00:11:49.270 --> 00:11:52.990
And sometimes when we get these
Come follow me curriculums, it

00:11:52.990 --> 00:11:57.880
feels like we got to train eat
an elephant, we got to get all

00:11:57.880 --> 00:12:03.220
of this stuff done. We're going
to eat this elephant one bite at

00:12:03.220 --> 00:12:06.970
a time. And if you can only get
one verse out of one chapter

00:12:06.970 --> 00:12:12.160
every day, that's your bite. And
that's fine. Not everybody can

00:12:12.160 --> 00:12:17.230
eat a whole chapter every day.
It's okay. I'm not here to I'm

00:12:17.230 --> 00:12:23.320
not here to judge. I'm here to
just help. Maybe give an idea,

00:12:23.500 --> 00:12:28.030
or two or three, we'll see how
it goes. But that's my plan. And

00:12:28.030 --> 00:12:30.220
I was looking at the wrong one
the whole time I was looking at

00:12:30.220 --> 00:12:33.880
May 27 Through June 2. If I go
down here to the one that's

00:12:33.880 --> 00:12:38.590
actually June 3 Through June 9,
there's my six there my six

00:12:38.590 --> 00:12:44.980
circles right, June and Mosiah
29. By look at Mosiah 29. Hit

00:12:44.980 --> 00:12:48.610
the blue button again, pull that
up, it's 12 minutes, that's a

00:12:48.610 --> 00:12:52.690
little bit longer. That's not a
five minute car ride. So let's

00:12:52.690 --> 00:12:56.320
see Mosiah 29, that's probably
going to be on a Tuesday. My

00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:00.850
girls have gymnastics on Tuesday
for an hour. So I could probably

00:13:00.850 --> 00:13:06.820
do 12 minutes during that hour,
listening to my scriptures. And

00:13:06.820 --> 00:13:09.250
then when you're all done, and
you come back here, you just hit

00:13:09.250 --> 00:13:12.430
the little button. And that
shows that you're done with

00:13:12.430 --> 00:13:17.020
Mosiah 29. And then when you go
back to your home screen, we are

00:13:17.020 --> 00:13:23.530
1% Done 1%. That's a lot further
than you were five minutes ago.

00:13:24.070 --> 00:13:28.330
I'm just saying. We are just
going to take this one little

00:13:28.330 --> 00:13:34.000
bite at a time. But we're going
to do it together. So you've

00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:38.800
seen now what my plan looks
like. Here's my real plan. And I

00:13:38.800 --> 00:13:42.250
am I'm recording this a little
bit early. But if I look at June

00:13:42.250 --> 00:13:47.950
3 through ninth This is what my
plan looks like. I'm not writing

00:13:47.950 --> 00:13:51.430
down that I'm doing Mosiah 29 on
a Monday or Tuesday. I'm not

00:13:51.430 --> 00:13:54.280
writing down that Alma one is on
Wednesday. I'm not writing that

00:13:54.280 --> 00:14:00.190
stuff down. When I get to it, I
will get to it. June 3 through

00:14:00.190 --> 00:14:04.120
ninth they were steadfast and
immovable. Today is Monday, I

00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:07.090
will probably do that tonight.
I'll probably listen to it.

00:14:07.570 --> 00:14:11.350
After I put my kids to bed. And
while I'm doing the dishes, I

00:14:11.350 --> 00:14:14.200
will probably listen to you they
were steadfast and immovable.

00:14:15.010 --> 00:14:19.600
Also, I'm gonna be real with you
on that. Listening to the Come

00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:22.360
follow me book is not as good as
listening to your scriptures.

00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:25.750
The voices are a little weird,
and they read every tiny little

00:14:25.750 --> 00:14:28.390
thing, which gets a little
frustrating because it means

00:14:28.390 --> 00:14:30.940
that everything that's in
parentheses, they read that too.

00:14:31.570 --> 00:14:34.540
So they stop in the middle of a
sentence to tell you where the

00:14:34.540 --> 00:14:41.770
Scripture came from. I wish that
they would just like footnote it

00:14:41.830 --> 00:14:46.930
instead of cite it in place just
for the ease of listening. But

00:14:46.990 --> 00:14:51.640
you know what it is what it is?
Maybe someday. We're still we

00:14:51.640 --> 00:14:55.180
are still learning and still
growing. Right as a church as an

00:14:55.180 --> 00:14:58.750
organization. As a people in
general we are still learning

00:14:58.750 --> 00:15:00.730
and we're still growing. We're
just Trying to be the best that

00:15:00.730 --> 00:15:05.230
we can be every day. Okay,
that's my plan. What is your

00:15:05.230 --> 00:15:09.670
plan look like? Show me in the
comments. Send me a link. Just

00:15:09.670 --> 00:15:13.390
tell me. Tell me you don't have
a plan. That's fine. I don't

00:15:13.390 --> 00:15:16.780
have a plan. I just wanted to
listen. That's fine too. Little

00:15:16.780 --> 00:15:19.450
bit more on another day. We're
gonna like I said, we're gonna

00:15:19.450 --> 00:15:24.070
start with elder Bednarz. Be
still and know that I am God.

00:15:24.310 --> 00:15:26.830
Talk from the most recent
General Conference that just

00:15:26.830 --> 00:15:29.770
happened in April. We're gonna
start with that next. Thanks so

00:15:29.770 --> 00:15:30.490
much, you guys.
