Learn Deseret Today!
Every week I will teach a few letters of the Deseret Alphabet, the phonetic script Brigham Young's regents created in the 1850s so the Saints could write English as it sounds, complete with writing examples.
Start here: ๐๐ฌ๐๐จ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ป๐ญ ๐ ๐ข๐ซ๐๐ผ
That is "Holiness to the Lord," the same words stamped on Utah's 1860 gold coins.

THE ILLUMINATED BOOKS OF MOSES AND ABRAHAM
Available now in digital format, you can enjoy my illuminated Moses and Abraham from the Pearl of Great Price.
Each chapter is contained on one large page, accompanied by an original illustration.
This has been an exciting challenge and a great way for me to immerse in some of my favorite passages of scripture.
I hope you enjoy.

Heaven keeps records. The ancients were sure of it.
In the old Enoch writings, an angel shows Enoch "the heavenly tablets," and he reads "the book of all the deeds of mankind" (1 Enoch 81:2). Malachi agreed: "a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name" (Malachi 3:16).
The Restoration adds what those books never did. The writing was not saved for one seer. In the days of our Father Adam, "a book of remembrance was kept," given "unto as many as called upon God to write by the spirit of inspiration" (Moses 6:5). And "by them their children were taught to read and write" (Moses 6:6).
Enoch's people kept it going: "a book of remembrance we have written among us, according to the pattern given by the finger of God" (Moses 6:46). That people became Zion, "of one heart and one mind" (Moses 7:18), until "God received it up into his own bosom" (Moses 7:69).
So the first family record on earth was family scripture, written by ordinary people who prayed and then wrote what God showed them.
Start yours this week. Get one notebook. Each night, write two or three lines about one way the Lord helped your family that day. On Sunday, read the week's entries aloud at dinner and let each child add a line of their own.

This Sunday, report one stewardship (family, work, health) to the Lord in prayer: what you did, what you missed, one change.
