Hello, everyone. Welcome to Follow Him Favorites. My name is Hank Smith. I'm here with John. By the way,

0:06.6

this is where we tell a single story to go with each week's Come Follow Me lesson. John, this week,

0:12.2

we're in Doctrine, Convance, Section 3, 4, and 5. You've told me you have a story prepared.

0:18.8

I'm excited to hear it. Yeah, it's one that some of our listeners

0:22.6

might have heard before. This little verse in Section 4, very oft-repeated section, O'E that embark

0:29.2

in the service of God, see that you serve whom with all your heart, might, mind, and strength,

0:34.1

which sounds like all of you, right? You've got to be all in. The church made a little

0:38.7

movie years ago called Dayton's Legs. And it all started in Arizona. There was a teacher's

0:43.8

quorum president whose name was Spencer. I had to look hard to find his name. But the teacher's

1:29.2

1:33.1

with heart, might, mind, and strength is watching as they interviewed Dayton's parents to imagine

a teacher's quorum president who really knows what it means to be a brother in a quorum,

1:58.2

takes this brother with him. And he says in the article, you'll find a new era article

too, that towards the finish line, he says, I was beginning to run out of strength. And then I saw

2:08.6

Dayton smiling. That gave me the strength to be able to run past the finish line. And that was
