Welcome to following favorites.

This is where John and I are sharing a single story to go with each week's lesson.

John, this week is Doctor in Covenants 67 through 70.

I read a very small phrase in Section 67, verse 13.

I thought of a story to tell you.

In 6713, the Lord says, continue in patience.

Continue in patience. He goes on until you are perfected. It's going to be a slow process.

Well, continue in patience is actually a talk given by President Uptorf. years ago, I loved that talk.

It's one that I listened to over and over and over.

Well, that spurred another thought.

I went to then-Elder Uptorff's talk, continue in patience.

It reminded me of another talk called The End from the Beginning.

Elder Uctroth has home run after home run after home run of talks.

Lift where you stand. In remembrance of those who save, the sermons that President Ucturf has given

over the last 20 years have been phenomenal. All right. You'll remember this one, John.

It's when President Ucturf said he was a young refugee. I think he was

10 years old. This is when he went from speaking Russian to speaking English. He said his tongue was not

made to speak English. Too hard. He was failing in school. He said, the first time of my life,

I thought maybe I'm not smart enough to go to school.

During that time of his life, because they were refugees and couldn't really speak the language,

his family opened up a laundry delivery service.

Do you remember this story, John?
