Hey everyone. Welcome to the Scripture Study Project, our podcast that gives you a fresh and faithful study of the scriptures that will renew your excitement for your own personal study and help you

passionately teach what you're learning to others. I'm Zach, and I'm here with my insert dating

story wife, Krista. Here it goes. She says no, but I say yes. So, here's how we met, so that you

can get to know us a little bit better. We both served in the same

mission. And a lot of times when I tell people that there's one of two responses, either people

go, oh, or they go, ooh, because of course elders and sisters don't have any kind of relationship

with each other on the mission, which we didn't have, even though I tease her about it.

But when I came home for my mission, my family had moved to St. George, which is where she's from.

And so I called her out one night, asked her if she wanted to go on a date.

I think we went to a movie.

And it was probably the world's most awkward first date because at the end of the date I asked her

if we should hug or shake hands, which is, as I've learned since, not a very suave way to

conduct yourself on a first date. She said she didn't know, and so I gave her this like weird,

awkward half side hug, half full hug that was as much as I could give being a recently returned missionary. And she didn't even raise her arms to hug me back. She just said, I think she said, oh, and then got in the car and drove off. So you love that story. I love that story. So it's a miracle that she's here with me so i'm grateful

and you know really the reason he wanted to tell the story is also he could post some awkward

mission picture of us together yes we should do that oh dear okay well we're excited to be with you

anyway uh this is episode 19 and our last

episode and kind of the three-part series in these middle chapters in Mosiah

where we're backwards and forwards and sideways in time here we finally

finish this long story that began two episodes ago with Zenith leading his people from the land of

Zara Hemla down to the land of Lehigh Nephi, last episode where we talked about King Noah

and Abinadai and today we wrap it up, we get them home safely and see what lessons there
