Handbook 1

I need to get two Handbook 1 for our Spanish Branch in English. They did receive two in Spanish, but they have requested and have a great need to have two in English. Who or how do I get these Handbook 1's?
Thanks,
Bruce Arnold
Driggs Idaho Stake Clerk

I went through the same thing with the Samoan ward in our stake. I called Distribution and they traded me the Samoan handbooks for English handbooks. Give them a call, they were very helpful.

You can also view them online if you're in a Bishopric or Stake Presidency (including clerks and secretaries).

That is: Stake President and Counselors, Stake Clerk and Executive Secretary, Bishop and Counselors, Ward Clerk and Executive Secretary, Branch President, Branch Clerk and Executive Secretary but NOT Branch Presidency Counselors.

I don't know why branch presidency counselors are not included, since they have all the same duties as bishop's counselors. They are also not issued hard copies.

I am exec sec and was told that CHI1 is not given to exec sec. (Used to be that way in the past.) But I have access to CHI1 online.

Is that correct?

There is one office copy of handbook 1 that the clerk and exec sec share. So they both have access to the online version as well.

That is correct.

Because the executive secretary and the clerk share access to one copy of Handbook 1, you do have access to the Handbook. Therefore, you also have been given online access.

I am an Assistant Ward Clerk and used to have online access to Handbook 1. I no longer do and I'm curious as to why? I find it frustrating and ironic that my duties are listed in a Handbook I can't access online.

You may want to verify your calling in the CDOL.

I only have access to Handbook 2 though I used to have access to Handbook 1.

Were you given "Admin" access to MLS? That might be the problem. Just guessing here.

Actually I do have access to it now. The issue was that my Clerk mistakenly put me in as a custom flied (Ward Executive Secretary) instead of in the Branch Presidency under Branch Executive Secretary. (The reason for this: we are a YSA branch, and the previous BES did not hold the Melchizedek Priesthood, so he wasn't given access to everything).

Thanks for your assistance!

I am the Stake Executive Secretary and I have access to Handbook 1 on LDS.org but not the Gospel Library apps on my phone and tablet. Is this intentional? Can it be changed. I find it at hale switching back and forth during a meeting.

It is available under Leadership, in the IOS Gospel Library app. This is subject to you having the right standard calling in MLS, which you appear to have to see it on LDS.org.

I don't see it on my Android GL. Keep in mind that this is one of the few things that are restricted by calling. It requires adding calling-based functionality to GL.

It is not available on Android. It is only on iOS.

Hopefully, we mere Android mortals will get it sometime in the near future. (And I thought we were ahead on the development curve there for a while. Sigh.)
