ANGELS ROUND ABOUT YOU TO BEAR YOU UP: Interview with Shelley Davis
There are times in our lives when only help from the other side of the veil can help us. The Davis Family experienced a very traumatizing event on a camping trip on July 18th of this year. Chase had a serious accident and by all accounts, should have died. However, Shelley Davis felt a host of heavenly angels directing medical personnel and protecting her son, who made a full recovery. Shelley testifies that some of those angels were those who she had done temple work for. The power of the priesthood on both sides of the veil, made sure that Chase not only survived but is thriving. Miracles, angels, and priesthood power are all a part of this most extraordinary story of survival.

GENEALOGY: A PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY- Theodore M. Burton, Oct. 1972
In a general conference talk in October of 1972, Elder Burton addressed the importance of each person, old or young, to participate in temple and family history work. It is a priesthood responsibility, Elder Burton even calling it, "Priesthood genealogy". He also teaches one of the meanings of the earth would be and will be smitten with a curse if we do not personally participate. He points the importance of saving our own ancestors and that when we do we fulfill ancient prophecy.

ADDING WHAT YOU KNOW TO FAMILYSEARCH
Information gathering is critical when doing genealogical work. FamilySearch has a massive data base of a lot of different kinds of information. However, each individual has information that has not yet been input into the FamilySearch system. These familial bits of information from first hand sources are critical to the furthering of the Gathering, for one thread always leads to another. Colette teaches how to add the information that you personally have inti FamilySearch, thus making that information available to all related descendants.

A MOTHER'S PLEA FROM BEYOND THE VEIL
One of the worst tragedies in life is to lose a child. In this episode we learn through a thinning of the veil experience, that even that immense pain and hurt are healed by our Heavenly Father and the Savior through temple work. One of the many miracles of the Gathering of Israel is that relationships that were once lost on this side of the veil, are made right at the holy altars of the temples. We are instruments in His hands to restore the promises made to the fathers and most assuredly the empty arms of the mothers. Through miracles and manifestations, no heart will hurt forever and every wrong will be made right.

"TEMPLE SYMBOLISM OF THE BODY", Carol Wilkinson, BYU, 2005
We are taught that our bodies are temples. What does that mean and what are the blessings associated with treating our bodies as temples? In 2005, Carol Wilkinson, a BYU professor, wrote an article about these very questions. Using scriptures and citations of prophets, she teaches how we can be conduits of revelation, the same as the latter day temples that we physically enter to do temple work. D&C 109 certainly lays out the process and blessings associated with being a savior upon Mount Zion, and the effect that that work can have on our bodies. If we will treat our bodies as the tabernacle of God's that they are, we will find great treasures of hidden knowledge.

USING MAJOR AI PLATFORMS AS GENEALOGY RESEARCH ASSISTANTS
AI has revolutionized the way in which we process information and utilize technology, making our lives easier. Whether good or bad, AI is here to stay. Fortunately in the work of genealogical research, it has changed the way and speed at which seemingly difficult information on ancestors is found. AI is truly a miracle when it is in the hands of genealogists and those seeking to unite families for eternity. Colette illustrates how anyone can use these platforms to better and more easily find our lost loved ones. The work is truly hastening on both sides of the veil.

ANGELIC ANCESTRAL PROTECTION IN INDIANOLA
Does the ministering of angels really happen in one's life? In D&C 130 verse 5, we learn that angels that minister to this earth are "those who do belong or have belonged to it." Most often the angels that are involved in our lives are our ancestors who love us and who have gone before. They understand the perils and traumas that we currently face and are heavily involved in aiding us along the way. Angels can bring messages of comfort and peace, messages of instruction, and most assuredly physical protection. Connie Measom experienced powerful priesthood protection from heaven sent ancestors during the Indianola Fire in Utah. Heaven is cheering us on. A loving Heavenly Father and Savior, send the gift of familial angels to help us along our mortal journeys.

THE TEMPLE, OUR BODY, AND THE URIM AND THUMMIM
Urim and Thummim in Hebrew means, "lights and perfections". Within the context of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ, we find added meaning to the most often used definition of a Urim and Thummim, being and instrument to translate languages. In the Endowment ceremony we find additional powers and insights to another meaning and use of a Urim and Thummim. We see in the pattern of the Brother of Jared, Aaron and his sons, and other scriptural patterns, that our bodies, as we gather Israel, can also become a type of Urim and Thummim as we enter into covenantal relationship with the Savior in the temple. In the latter days, Zion will come and those who reside in that Holy City will be revelatory beings of light patterned after their Savior, Jesus Christ, who will personally preside and reside in that sacred city.

In the work of the Gathering of Israel, we all have our parts to do and accomplish before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Elder Bednar describes the aspects of the work that we should be focused on and more importantly the blessings that come from being a savior on Mount Zion. The rising generation have a crucial role in making sure that this work moves forward at an unprecedented pace.
