My friends welcome to follow him favorites. I am Hank Smith. I am the co-host of a podcast called Follow Him.

My co-host for the podcast is John by the way. Hi John.

Hi Hank and we do a tiny little clip each week called follow him favorites.

So John tell us this week what is your follow him favorite? The sections are

85, 86 and 87 of the doctrine covenants.

Hank these are so hard because every every week there's so many fun things but something that I need this reminder because sometimes I'm okay at it sometimes I'm not but in verse one of section 85

It says is the duty of the Lord's clerk whom he is appointed to keep a history and

From the beginning Joseph Smith

Had admonished the saints to be record keeping people were so thankful that Wilford would receive to write down everything that happened every day

We rely on that but I just got to tell you my wife remembers so many things and sometimes she'll say something

I'm like how do you remember that and

She has a better memory than I do I have to write things down

But the really wonderful things that you got to write them down so that you can remember them and share them with your children

President Iring said that we write things down to document the hand of God in our lives

It's actually like documenting our testimony and then my mission president

Coolest thing he said the weakest ink is better than the strongest memory

So I don't have a memory like my wife, but if I write it down I get to keep it forever and these days

It's never been easier put it in a word processor

even read an event into your phone or something so that you can have it and

Document the hand of God in your life and the wonderful things that happened to you

So I just like one more reminder of the Lord saying keep a history and remember Hank in section 76 that we were doing

Four times in section 76 it said write this down
