0:00.0 | 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 |
0:49.4 | corn president said to the teacher's quorum, hey guys, let's do a triathlon. We were always doing that, |
0:54.9 | right, Hank, when we were in the teacher school? It's always our first activity of choice. |

1:33.1 | This 15-year-old, I assume, this teacher's corn president, takes Dayton and runs the triathlon. |

1:52.8 | 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 |
2:02.6 | 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 |
