[gentle music] Welcome to Follow Him Favorites. This is where John and I share a single story to go with each week's Come, Follow Me lesson. John, we're in Deuteronomy this week. [laughs] Tell me what you have in mind.

[laughs] I have a story. This is Deuteronomy 6:7, "Thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, thou shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way," I love that, "and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up." I have in my margin normal and natural. This reminded me of a story from Elder Robert E. Wells' book. I actually... We've told another Follow Him Favorite from his book about the cheapest book in a used bookstore. This story, there was a kid who was going to college, I believe it was in Wyoming. The church was kind of far away, but on Sunday, the first week of the semester, he wanted to go to church, so he got on the bus. He gets out of the bus to go up the hill where the church is. He sees somebody walking in front of him who's dressed up like he is, and he runs up and says, "Hey, are you new in school this semester?" He says, "Yeah, I'm, I'm just starting." He says, "Great. You wanna go to church with me?" "Sure." They go to church together. They go to sacrament meeting. And at the end of the sacrament meeting, he looks at his new friend and he says, "So are you an elder or a priest?" And he says, "Huh?" He says, "Well, what priesthood do you hold to go to the next meeting?" He goes, "I don't know what you mean." And it kinda dawns on him. "Oh, wait. Are you a member of this church?" "No." He goes, "Well, you sang the hymns.
