Hello, everyone. Welcome to Follow Him Favorites. This is where John and I share a single story to go with

each week's lesson. John, we are in Moses chapter 7 this week. It's all about Enoch, and I know you have a

great story for us. It speaks of Zion. You ask anybody, I think most of us know, Zion means of one heart,

of one mind. It's not just a place, not just a cause. We went through all those last year.

I was at a youth conference once. I think it was in Florida. There was some contention. Wards are

composed of just people doing their best. There were some problems, some friend groups, stuff like that.

This girl got up in testimony meeting and she just said the coolest thing.

She said, you guys, we've been talking about Zion in seminary.

And it sounds to me like we're supposed to be friends with a little bit of emotion.

The whole room, the whole chapel changed.

One after another, these kids got up and apologized if they'd ever offended other kids that

were there. It was one of the most beautiful meetings I ever remembered because it happened

one after another after another.

I just thought if the adversary is going to get us, it might not be from the outside in.

It might be from the inside out, get us gossiping about each other and judging each other harshly and things like that.

This girl gets up there and says that and the Spirit of the Lord

ended the room. It's one of those times of my life when I can say that was a Zion feeling

from head to toe. I'll never forget it. If you need to get up and apologize for something

that happened at Ward Basketball, you could do that too. Well, John, think about it. If every

young person understood, and every older person, too, but every young person understood their ability

to create unity in their corm, in their class, in their ward, in their stake, it's within their

grasp. But just like it was for that girl, it said, let's be of one heart. Let's be of one mind.
