Hello everyone welcome to follow him favorites. John and I are taking on a single

story from each week's lesson. John this is a great week it's Easter and follow him.

I have a story for you and I hope it's both fun and touching.

You ready? Yeah, I'm excited. I'll try to make this short. I did a longer version of this on a talk on CD I did a long time ago and also a why religion

episode that just came out recently but I want to tell it here again because I really love it.

It's about my in-laws, Sarah's parents, Rod and Marlene Savage, they met when they were in elementary school in

Richfield, Utah at the ideal dairy. They knew each other growing up. One day Rod was talking to his

school counselor in high school and the school counselor said, who are you taking to prom and Rod said oh I don't do those

kind of things I don't go to prom I'm going to go hunting and the

what's the difference yeah and the counselor said, well, every girl deserves to go to prom.

And Rod had never thought about that before, strangely.

So he thought, well, maybe I'll ask someone, I'll ask Mar ask Marlene right they've been friends since they were kids

They went on this first date with each other and just had a wonderful time

Rod is very outgoing and fun and playful and Marlene is a planner,

organized, get good grades,

so they complimented each other really well and had a great night.

And they ended up never dating anyone else again. They ended up getting married and

moving down to St George, which is where I grew up. This story really begins when they have their first

baby, Justin. Baby Justin, he's two days old.

They bring him home from the hospital.

For fun, Rod decided to take Justin on a tour of the house.

So here this baby is two days old and he starts going item to item in the house.
