Hello my friends welcome to Follow Him favorites. My name's Hank Smith. I'm here with the

incredible John by the way. Last year for Follow Him favorites we answered a single

question. This year Book Book of Mormon, come follow me, we are going to tell a single story.

So, John, we're opening up our first lesson in the Book of Mormon. What is the single story we're going to tell this week we talked

about this because we had lots but one that I love was from a movie that church

made years ago called how rare a possession and I think you can still find it there's a man named Vincenzo de franchise a He was a pastor and he was in New York. This is like 1910 and he's walking down

Broadway in New York and he finds this book on top of a barrel of ashes and he doesn't

know what it is. The front pages are torn off. He doesn't know the title, but he's like this is a religious book. He sees the name Isaiah, but he also sees names like Alma and Nausia and Mormon and he's like who are these people I have no idea

a lot of ashes on the book and it was burnt he gets some rubbing alcohol and he's able to

clean some of the soot off the pages.

He spends the whole day with this.

And one of the things that impressed me was, he said I read the declaration of the witnesses. A lot of us just to skip those parts.

We flipped through those.

We're like, hey, let's get to the beginning.

Yeah, and he said he was impressed with their declaration of what they said that they knew it was true.

And he doesn't even know what the book is.

He reads it all day.

And he gets to Maroni's promise and kneels down

and he gets a witness that the book is true and it like changes his life and the fun

part and you've got to watch the movie is he starts using it in his preaching

but he doesn't know what the book is.

So he's quoting it in church.
