+Preface:
14
+
15
+As an individual seeking to learn and grow, I have been inspired to study the
16
+scriptures and related materials, with a particular focus on the principles and
17
+teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In writing about
18
+these topics, it is not my intention to go against the leaders of the Church,
19
+but rather to seek a deeper understanding of those things that may be less
20
+frequently discussed, or that may present contradictions or challenges to my
21
+understanding. I approach this work with humility, recognizing that I am not a
22
+trained theologian or scholar, but rather a student seeking to learn and grow.
23
+As such, I welcome feedback and guidance, and I strive to remain open to the
24
+insights and perspectives of others.
