Coming up in this episode on Follow Him.

Here they were. They had the priesthood, and this is a distinctive thing about our faith,

is they would have the priesthood so they could conduct that service, they could have the

sacrament. They were organized into groups. This was a first in World War II, and they would

have the emblems of the sacrament. Elder Maxwell described it as being something of a roll call to know if there had been any casualties in the previous week.

Now, that's sobering to me, the notion that someone might not show up this week that was here the previous meeting.

He shared that, but I also remember his saying as part of the interview,

that he felt he was so fortunate. They never came to hate the enemy, that he was spared that

kind of an emotion of true hatred for the enemy, that he just conducted his service as best he could,

obviously facing danger on a daily basis.

Little did he know that many years later he would return to that same place to Okinawa

to dedicate a church worship edifice. To hear him talk about that and reflect on those

experiences was a powerful, inspiring really opportunity that I recall very well.

Hello everyone.

Welcome to another episode of Follow Him.

My name is Hank Smith.

I am your host.

I'm here with my co-host, John, by the way, who is a fountain of truth.

John, that's Section 85, verse 7.

I read Fountain of Truth and thought, wow, that's John, by the way. All I can do is laugh.

Fountain of something. Yeah. Fountain of something. John, we are in sections 85, 86, and 87 today.

Joining us is Professor Robert Freeman. To me, he's a good friend, I call him Bob.
