Doctrine and Covenants 80 “Ye cannot go amiss”
On March 7, 1832, the Lord gave Stephen Burnett a renewed call to preach and promised him a companion, Eden Smith. The Lord told them to preach in any direction and share what they had heard and believed. Eden became sick that day, so the two did not preach together until August. About two weeks after the revelation, Stephen began his mission with John Smith, Eden’s father.

How these connections are counted
Sources. Scripture text is the public-domain English text of the Doctrine and Covenants (sections 1–138). Section summaries, headings and questions are Weak Things’ own; the Church’s copyrighted headings and footnotes are not used. Joseph Smith Papers links point to the exact manuscript and printed pages. Connections come from the scripture links in every general conference talk from April 2000 through October 2026.
Distinct talks, not mentions. Each talk counts once per verse. Badges show whether the talk cites this exact verse or a passage that includes it, and whether the link is in a footnote or the talk text. Frequency is not a measure of doctrinal importance.
Your own words, their link. Summaries are Weak Things’ own. Talk text, Joseph Smith Papers images and transcriptions are not reproduced; every card links to the original. This independent study tool does not speak for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
