Depending on what type of grain you’re using, it could take 30 to 60 minutes to soften. You could also use your crockpot.

26: "Worth … the Riches of the Whole Earth" (Doctrine and Covenants 67–70)

Have you ever thought, “Oh, I could do that so much better”? Maybe it was something as important as a job or as trivial as a party invitation, but you just knew that your effort would’ve been superior than the person who actually did it.

So grab your scriptures, and let’s find out what the result was and what it can teach us about how God operates today.
