Before you start reading this web page, it is important for you to understand
that we created it to help share these experiences and writings with our own children.
We never intended it for public view. However many of my nieces and nephews and
other extended family asked to have access. Because we also have many friends
who wanted to be able to share it we have placed it here without a password. If
you are not a member of our family or close friends, we don't mind if you read
these materials if you do not use them in an inappropriate way and remembering
that they were created as a part of our personal journals, not as a public display
of experiences. We ask that you respect that if you use any of these materials.
You are welcome to copy any of these materials and use it as you see fit.
All we ask is that if any of them have a copyright on them that you then agree
in making a copy that you will not remove the name of the author, you will not
charge money to give copies of it to anyone else, that you will not change the
information in any way, and you will not reproduce it without printing the copyright
information on it (which would void our copyright). We have only copyrighted
some of the material to keep someone else from reproducing the material and
selling it. We give you our permission to copy any material found on the "Cordell
and Janice Vail's Epistles and Handouts Web Pages" if you will agree to
those terms. It is our hope that these materials will be of value to you and
your family in helping you be better missionaries and stronger more faithful
Later-day Saints in the same way that we hope it will be a strength to my own
children, extended family and friends.

Well here it is. The first copy of my book Understanding Patriarchal Priesthood.
I have been working on this paper since 1991. It is not done. This is still
just a rough draft ...... be patient some day I may actually have it done. But
for now here is at least what I have in PDF format so you can sure open it.
My notes on this subject are eleven three ring binders, so this is just a summary
of all my notes put into the form of a book. I have given a 2 hour fireside
on this subject over 200 times so there is a lot of input from the people I
have taught as well as my own work here.
