Im actually worried about my Friday test, but don’t tell me that

Something I don’t think anyone else mentioned is baptism by proxy. This has particular significance for me because of a story my seminary teacher shared with me, so it’s one of the first differences I think of. Essentially, members will be baptized in place of those who could not be baptized in their life. Usually the members are descended from them, but that isn’t a requirement. Don’t take me wrong, this is not a conversion against will baptism. We believe that the soul will chose for themselves in the afterlife. The importance of this, from my perspective, is two things. First, people who had never had a chance to even hear Christianity have a choice of conversion. And second, there is a small group of people who would be physically unable to be baptized (this is the story that I heard). -
Any will do. He took his crown first, placing it back on his head as it faded. He frowned as the Slumber - its influence tainting the power of the crown. It would grow, with time. He frowned. If you wish to study my power, you may. But be warned - it brings order, but… at any price.

Theeeennnnn… I am leaving anyway. Can you transmit to me the specific DNA of one of their party? I will need to find them again. I will also need my power back.

He was unwitting of the presence of the fox, and told those at Customs so.

Yes - definitely. There is a passage of our history (during translation) in which Martin Harris, who was helping translate, requested the papers (there was only one copy at that time) to show to his wife, who was pressuring him about his beliefs at the time. Joseph Smith told him no, but after repeated requests, he gave him 116 pages, what we know as the Book of Lehi. Short story, the pages were stolen. We believe that Joseph Smith refrained from retranslating them because whoever had stolen them wished to tamper with them and then essentially say that the prophet was contradicting himself. We never got these pages back. However, we also believe that the Lord has already provided a “backup” - but we also believe that, rather than it being a backup, it contains more detail and more prophetic guidance (Nephi wrote two books, one he called a historical record - lost, and one he called a spiritual record) - that was also translated. After this, Martin Harris kinda sinks into sullen shame. And so, everyone is surprised when Joseph Smith brings him back - forgives him. He becomes one of the Three Witnesses, and never once denies the truth of what he saw. We don’t worship our prophets. Just like we don’t worship the prophets of old.

Carp, the universe swear silently. It had forgotten about those. Those will make this interesting. ”They… they just appeared. Crap. Sshhh. In here.” The urchin pulled up the floor next to a train station, entering the tunnel.”

“Interesting. Them peoples are going to try to convince them to help us - I believe I have a bit of a detour.” He looked to the fox. “So. If you go with them… could I have a hair of yours? I don’t currently have my power, so I’ll have to use that to meet back up with the group. I believe the Slumber, and the travel, will disorient me to the point that I will not be able to find the Plot again.” @Bird Furious Addressing their guide, ”I believe I would like to leave early, I am afraid.”
-
“And what are those?”
-
The urchin led him north - away from the square. “They came from the north, but I’ve found it easier to avoid them in their territory than where they came from.”
-
“Yes - I know. I am not suggesting going behind their backs.”
-
The urchin returned, tugging at his arm. “You gotta go! The Depthdrinkers are coming.”
-
“Hm. Stars doesn’t seem the type to commit to much past aiding her people. I think I know a people who may be able to help us if this doesn’t work - but be warned. They… they aren’t like most.”
-
“Hhhmmm… Сталинград! Я в Сталинград! Я пилот, и я уже в водка!»

“Adolfmussolinitompotter!”

“Hilophanithionkily!”

He narrowed his eyes. “Theotationous.”
-
“Sooooo… hang on. If I work out or do stuff to that effect, it should expend more energy. Can’t we do that?”
-
“…sorry, but I have talked to you like… a total of… one time. SoW… well… he isn’t close. There are a few things that would help him.” He frowned. “Like my power, currently in Star’s possession.” @Bird Furious

“First of all - he’s not my leader.” He paused. “No. Not free will. Conflict. Any conflict. Period.”
-
“Do it.” Berin grinned.
-
He nodded.
-
“Hhmm… ok. Let me explain. SoW is a super ultra powerful being, but he divides his power between three Aspects. Me, Spirit, and Wrath. He charges us with a singular goal: end the chaos. Not an end of the world, necessarily, and not an everyone happy ending. Well… it could be either. He just wants it done. No more chaos. Spirit agrees, I think. Wrath and I don’t, but we also don’t agree with each other. Wrath… he advocates for the chaos. Tries to bring it wherever he goes.” He paused. “I’m not very radical. All I want is a happy ending.”

Why was Ian confuzzled, the universe wondered.

“Yeah…”
