    Listen to an interview with the filmmakers: bit.ly/16gHb18
    Toward the end of World War II, my mother decided to flee to Germany where her parents were living. Though I was only three years old, I can still remember this time of fear and hunger. Along the way the train stopped occasionally to get supplies. One night, during one of these stops, my mother hurried out of the train to search for some food for her four children. I know with certainty, her faith overcame her fear, and her hope overcame her despair.

    I love this video. I feel like her trying to find her children is like life. We have a trial, panic/confused, finally take time to kneel and pray, listen for answer, and after much determination find the answer

    Thank you for this message. Our 3rd old daughter once wandered away while at a friend's house. We started running and searching but the first thing we did was to pray. A friendly neighbor had her because she saw her out by herself. Such relief!

    @jomiar309 11 лет назад +6

    I can't even imagine how his mother felt during that time. As a relatively new father, just thinking about how I might feel if my kids' train vanished makes me sick inside. This is a very inspiring story.

    • @aileenhampton6911

      A Mormon is a common term for a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (or perhaps one of its offshoot churches, as has been featured in the news this past week about murders in Mexico). Jesus Christ has brought His own organization to the earth in these last days, to restore truth, power, and His authority in preparation for His second coming. We are the members of that church, and you just heard the voice of one of His apostles. Come here to learn more, to hear His truths, and hear His leaders, for modern life. Join us!

    captures emotional stress of a parent traveling alone with her children poignantly. Made me feel very happy for her when she found the train with her kids on it!!

  • @JohnShakin
    @JohnShakin 4 года назад +2

    The most beautiful thing about this is that after she prays, she still doesn't see the train. She takes off running with hope regardless of what she does or does not see. Only by doing that does she then get to a point she can view the correct train where her soul is.

    I hope that the story of his family going across the border is being created to share in a way such as this one. The moment when he and his mother were eating lunch and realized that they had not yet crossed over is amazing...and his siblings hopping off the train...wow.. too much. Such faith. Love this family.

My most favourite one of these animations is the coat animation. I subscribed because your animations give me a good feeling that the church is true. Best channel ever! Viewers if you believe in Christ than you will love this channel. Mormon channels are perfect to get you out of a bad mood! Creators of this channel. I hope you have a great life and you will always have faith. I give this prayer to you that you may live a faithful life 😊

    My mother sacrificed so much for her family over the years and I'm grateful for her this Mothers Day. My mom actually had to be away from her husband and four kids in Mexico to wait for her papers. We prayed for her to return soon, even when it turned into nearly a year and a half. I thank my Heavenly Father to come back right before Mothers Day and for the inspiring videos like these she sent to us over the phone. I'm so happy I'm in this church, I'd be so lost without it's words of hope.......
