Rescue in Unity
This speaker is speaking in Cantonese, the first talk not given in English. Emma is so excited seeing Elder Wong that she is running in circles squealing and pointing at him.

The Sacrament—a Renewal for the Soul

Prepared in a Manner That Never Had Been Known

A bride enters the celestial room,…
