Where can I find a PDF/electronic version of the Doctrine and Covenants Institue Manual (first edition; 1981, not 200x)?
I had notes saved to my LDS account of a few quotes from that manual, that weren't included in the updated (second) edition. Looking to recover, or at least find, what I had before.

Re: Where to find PDFs of older church manuals
Are you able to see the older manual in Gospel Library if you turn on "Show Obsolete Content" in Gospel Library settings?

Found it, thank you for that suggestion! I thought all my notes were lost. Much appreciated.

When did you serve? Here's a link to the 2006 edition of the Missionary Handbook, if it's helpful – I think it was used until 2019:NwokoPE wrote: Sat Oct 18, 2025 1:59 am I need a copy of the former missionary guide.
