He reflects on the confluence of these two great rivers, teaching the listener that inasmuch as the rivers are of two such completely different compositions, miles pass before the two completely unite to become the powerful Amazon River. This division in the waters can even be seen from satellites high above the earth’s atmosphere. He compares this “uniting” process to how peoples of different cultures, religions, and ideologies can unite within the Gospel of Jesus Christ. (4:48 minutes)

Video – We Don’t Need to Be the Same to Be One – In the beginning God made Heaven and Earth, light and dark, man and woman. He made everything different. No two fingerprints are alike. No two people are the same. We look different. We sound different. We act different. We believe different. But, we can be different and still be together. We can be kind. We can be patient. We can not judge. We can forgive over and over again because we don’t have to be the same to be one. We are all God’s children. (1:00 minute)

Video – Comfort in the Cross – Book of Mormon Central (6:54 minutes)

Video – Evidence for Enoch in the Pseudepigrapha – Extra-biblical, ancient writings on the prophet Enoch have striking parallels with what Latter-day Saints find in the Book of Moses. Studying these parallels can provide a compelling reason to believe that Joseph Smith’s revelations were reproducing something authentically ancient. Most importantly, the Book of Moses restores “plain and precious” truths about the ancient prophet Enoch. Enoch was a mighty prophet who walked before God with perfect righteousness. Studying about his life in the Book of Moses and other ancient texts with the spirit of discernment (D&C 91:1–6) can bring readers closer to this ancient prophet, and unlock insights into the everlasting gospel that he preached.
