Hello, everyone. Welcome to Follow Him favorites. This is where John and I are sharing stories that go with each week's Come Follow Me lesson. John, we are in Section 20 of the Doctrine and Covenants. You know this section. Tell us what it is. Yeah, Section 20 is really long. It's kind of the constitution of the church.

This is how it's organized. This is what you do. Like the first handbook of instruction.

Like this is how we're going to run things. Well, there's this part of the new handbook here where it says that we should visit the house of each member and exhort them to pray vocally in secret and attend all their family duties.

So this becomes the home teaching program eventually and as we know it now, the ministering program in the church.

This wins the award absolutely for making an appointment before you go to teach at someone's house.

This is an article written by Paul Raleigh, who tells the story of Daryl Zadik Bud.

He says that Brother Bud is known for his cheerful spirit and good sense of humor and colorful writing style.

Paul Raleigh says that when he heard this story, he had to write an article about it.

Quote, it's too good not to pass along.

All right.

So here's how it goes, John.

Bud and the Elderskorn president in his LDS ward were home teaching to lapsed members,

so inactive members, when they came upon a home containing a member more lapsed than they could

have imagined. They were welcomed into the woman's apartment, which she shared with her boyfriend.

As we were preparing to say the closing

prayer at the conclusion of our visit, we heard someone pounding on the door and yelling,

It's the police, open the door. I thought, that's a funny joke. Then there was more pounding,

Bud wrote. Before the boyfriend could open the door, it flew open and tend armed men wearing Kevlar

vest bearing the word police swarmed in, ordering everyone to the floor.

Bud wrote, I thought to myself, this is going to make a great story.

This is going to be on a podcast one day.

As Bud lay face down on the carpet, the elders corn president stood up from where he was sitting on the couch, thinking he could explain why he and Bud were there.
