Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Follow Him. Today we're looking at one of the

voices of the restoration lessons. There's what, Hank, about 12 of those. There's 12 of them. This is

number four. This is number four about Emma Smith. We have Dr. Garrett Dirkmont with us again, one of

our faves. So thanks for joining us again today.

Dr. Garrett, we're so glad to have you. Thanks for having me back. I like that we're doing this

little mini biographies on not just the events, but the individual people.

The Come Follow Me Manual, the printed version, I don't think has these voices of the

restoration. It's the online version that has these episodes that we're doing with Garrett. If you

went to our website and in the upper right hand side, you clicked on show notes, you would see

Book Mormon, New Testament, Old Testament, and then you could go down to the bottom and you

would click on Voices of of the restoration. And there

you have all of the episodes we've done with Garrett so far. Hank, as we start talking about these

different voices involved in the restoration, what are you looking forward to today? I love having

Garrett with us. And I was thinking about this as we were preparing for this interview. I thought,

why do I like this so much? And one is, of course, Garrett. He is just a delightful teacher.

When I was a junior in high school, I read the work in the glory. I was enthralled. I read the first six

volumes, which is all that was out then, in like two months.

I just loved it.

As I continued to read history, I didn't want historical fiction so much as I wanted history.

I remember being on a drive with my brother-in-law, Derek Booth.

He's a bishop now out in Castle Rock.

We listened to David McCola.
