Hello, everyone. Welcome to Follow Him favorites. This is where John and I share a single story to go with each week's lesson. John, we are in Moses chapter 7 this week. It's all about Enoch, and I know you have a great story for us. It speaks of Zion. You ask anybody, I think most of us know. Zion means of one heart, of one mind. It's not just a place, not just a cause. We went through all those last year. I was at a youth conference once. I think it was in Florida. There was some contention. wards are composed of just people doing their best. There were some problems, some friend groups, stuff like that. This girl got up in testimony meeting, and she just said the coolest thing. She said, you guys, we've been talking about Zion in seminary, and it sounds to me like we're supposed to be friends with a little bit of emotion. The whole room, the whole chapel changed.

One after another, these kids got up and apologized if they had to be friends. ever offended other kids that were there. It was one of the most beautiful meetings I ever remembered because it happened one after another after another. I just thought if the adversary is going to get us, it might not be from the outside in. It might be from the inside out, get us gossiping about each other and judging each other harshly and things like that. This girl gets up there and says that and the spirit of the Lord ended the room. It's one of those times of my life when I can say that was a feeling from head to toe. I'll never forget it. If you need to get up and apologize for something that happened at Ward Basketball, you could do that too. Well, John, think about it. If every young

person understood, and every older person too, but every young person understood their ability to create unity in their corm, in their class, in their ward, in their stake, it's within their grasp. But just like it was for that girl, it said, let's be of one heart. Let's be of one mind. Yeah, and it worked. Hank, I think about, is it Section 38, be one, and if he are not one, you are not mine. And the alternatives of not being his are really bad. So let's try to be of one heart and of one mind. And that just means we repent and we take people where they're at.

God put us on the same team for a reason. Let's play like we're on the same team. Our friend Kirby Haybourne, he likes to say, I got your back. I got your back. I think we can do that in our wards, in our classes, in our quorums. I got your back. Sounds to me like we're supposed to be friends. I love it.

We hope you'll join us on our full podcast. It's called Follow Him. You can get it wherever you get your podcast. We're with Danny Ricks this week out of BYU, Idaho, Religion Department, and you are going to love him. Talk about energy and enthusiasm that is contagious. That guy has it.
