Hello everyone welcome to another follow him favorites this is where John and I are sharing a single story to go with each week's lesson

John were in the book of Mormon in the book of Mormon. There's a three-word phrase that I want to tell a story about.

Amaron comes to this little boy Mormon, he's 10 years old, he says you're a sober child and you are three words quick to observe.

John I have a story about a man who was not quick to observe.

All right I'm hoping you'll get a good laugh out of this. It was told by President Inclian conference years and years ago.

Does it involve bricks and a bucket? It does, it does. Here we go go I can't wait it appeared that a company in England owned a property a building in the West Indies a violent storm damaged one of the buildings and a man was sent to make repairs.

Of his experience he wrote to the manager as follows. Dear sir,

when I got to the building I found that the hurricane had knocked some of the bricks off the top.

So I rigged up a beam with a pulley at the top of the building and hoisted up a couple of barrels full of bricks.

So if you don't know what a pulley is, it's like a wheel, you put the rope through,

and you can pull on one side of the rope and it raises up the other. He used that and he pulled up some barrels of bricks.

I fixed the building, but there was a lot of bricks left over. So I pulled the

barrel all the way up again and tied the line at the bottom and then went up and I filled this

barrel that's hanging from this rope with all the extra bricks.

Then I went to the bottom and I untied the rope.

Unfortunately, the barrel of bricks was heavier than I was.

Before I knew what was happening, the barrel started down, jerking me off the ground.

I decided to hang on.

Halfway up, I met the barrel coming down and received a severe blow on the shoulder.

I then continued all the way to the top, banging my head against the beam and getting my finger jammed in the pulley.

Oh, when the barrel hit the ground, it burst apart, allowing the bricks to spill out. I was now heavier than the barrel and

started down again at high speed. Halfway down I met the barrel coming up and received severe injuries to my shins.
