D&C Episode on the First Principles and Ordinances of the Gospel
Engaging Gospel Doctrine 
Great lesson, Jared. As you predicted, I particularly enjoyed the Greek and Hebrew root words.
I’m curious, in the parable of the prodigal son, it says the son “came to himself” in Luke 15:17. Is that translated from the same Greek word as repentance is?
