After making a fortune from the English language schools he created in Brazil, Carlos Martins and his wife, Vania, turned their attention to serving the Lord and their family. In hopes of helping their son achieve his dream of serving a full-time mission, they served a humanitarian mission on the border of Venezuela. By the Martins’ count, they were able to help 20,000 refugees relocate. On this week’s episode, Martins discusses how the English schools came to be, and how he came to see that concern for his son was only a means to an end for the Lord. "If we allow the Lord to guide our path, and we give up our own plan, in order to believe His miracles, unpredictable miracles of multiplication, will happen in our everyday life." https://deseretbook.com/p/176264?variant_id=200328-ebook Carlos speaks at BYU-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nduEUAnTGQ https://www.forbes.com/sites/ricardogeromel/2014/01/14/meet-the-wizard-who-became-a-billionaire-teaching-english-to-brazilians/?sh=d7127dd5c384 https://www.deseret.com/faith/2022/3/2/22956971/the-wizard-of-hope-carlos-martins-brazil-billionaires-refugee-crisis 3:04- A Wife’s Insistence 6:03- Back to Brazil 9:18- The Wizard School 14:07- Pass Along Cards 20:20- A Different Plan 29:18- The Love of Parents and the Reality of God 42:40- Calling in a Favor 47:34- Why Help Refugees? 47:41- How To Help 48:13- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

Most of us have the same perception of consecration that Steven Harper had when he went to the temple for the first time: The Lord “revealed the law of consecration to the early Saints. They couldn’t live it, so the Lord revoked the higher law, gave the lower law of tithing, and would someday give the higher law again.”But if someone had asked him how he knew that, he says he wouldn't have had an answer. Now after studying the topic for years,Harper has a different understanding of what consecration is and on this week’s episode he shares the answers he's foundwith us. 2:18- “A Foreign Place" 6:10- Preparing For The Temple 11:14- A Three-Legged Stool 20:15- The Oversimplification of History 23:50- Edward Partridge 30:30- Caring for the Poor 38:52- Consecration In All Seasons 45:08- Membership Mindset Vs. Consecration Approach 50:40- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ? “The Lord does not care about the amount of money that we consecrate. That is not the measurement but He does ask for all—all their heart, all their might, all their mind, all their strength, all their soul. But in return for that, remember that He gives all."

Mark well what kind of days they will be, days when, with special visibility, the Lord will 'make bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations.' (D&C 133:3.) God will also ‘hasten' His work. (D&C 88:73.) He will also ‘shorten' the last days 'for the elect’s sake'; hence, there will be a compression of events. (Matt. 24:22;JS—M 1:20.) Furthermore, 'all things shall be in commotion.' (D&C 88:91.)

In March, an architectural historian wrote on Twitter, “Is there a building in the US whose siting and form better address the speed and experience of interstate highways than the Washington D.C. Temple?
