Thank you for relating your experience. It helped me to hear you tell it. I am completely alone. My Ward doesn't even acknowledge me,. I set up appointments with the missionaries to talk with me on the phone because I'm female so they couldn't come to me plus I have no furniture. They forgot my appointment entirely and I haven't heard back from them. I feel abandoned by my Ward and even the missionaries. To hear you say that Jesus is with me, He is beside me, He is carrying me, means more than I can say! I am in complete tears right now! I love Our Savior Jesus Christ with all my heart, mind, and strength, but I feel I fail Him every day. Thank you for your words of compassion. Bless President Holland, the Apostle I feel the closest too. ❤
I am so sorry you feel so alone. I have felt that way for a few months. It is so hard. I am in a new ward. I have had to reach out to others so that I don't feel completely alone. Maybe you need to do the same.
I am so happy to hear the Lord is with you although you feel abandoned. It is tough to keep going when those around you forget you. Hold on to the fact that He is with you and carry on. You can do it!!! Prayers are going your way.
This breaks my heart. I’m so sorry you feel alone like this. I’m glad that you heard this testimony of Christ being with us in our hardest times❤️ When I am sad or depressed, one of the things that brings me joy is serving others. Even if it’s just going to a store and looking for someone who might need a smile, or making a phone call. I feel peace and love and strength when I am on the Lord’s errand. It also helps to pray for these errands❤️❤️
@@breakingthelaws5379You are being a righteous example of loving your neighbor as you love yourself. I thank you for your idea of praying to know who needs your help. I was surprised a few years ago, when I was praying, and heard: “There are many who need your prayers.” I think all of us who are trying to be more like our Savior could be praying for others; praying, not only for those we know. In these “end of days,” we all need protection from the adversary.
Loved this! Thank you. Thank you for talking about and helping me understand and Pres. Hollands comment about predecessor’s and etc. for potential future prophets, and the point about not knowing the hour, etc. 🦋
I was sincerely moved by your dream. I greatly appreciate you sharing such a personal story. It helped me feel that the Savior loves me and is near to me in my depression. He understands what I am going through. Thank you Caitlyn. I really mean it. Thank you. With the fondest of regards brother Powers
I know the kind of loneliness you felt, and sometimes still feel. My mom died when I was 15. And when my children passed, it was a whole new level. But just as Christ was with us in this literal monster Milton, He is with us through it all. And to go from a cat 5 to a 3 and quickly to a 2, I almost felt the Savior calming the winds and the seas. Thank you and your subscribers for your prayers on my behalf. It still brings me to tears when I think about it. We sustained no damage at all except for power loss for 2 or 3 days. Replacing the food in the refrigerator was easy in comparison to the people we are helping in our ward and stake. This week was the ward, next week, the stake. And we have 10 stakes coming in to help next week! The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ROCKS! It always helps when we are helping others!
I love this talk so much. Not just the words but the power of its delivery. I love your testimony and strength, I don't know if I could serve a mission so soon after a loved one died, but at the same time I know that the Lord will comfort you at your worst. I was at a place of darkness that I hope no one ever has to go through and I won't share details, but I felt at first unsure on how I was going to handle the heavy weight put upon my shoulders. When the dust settled a bit, I prayed with all my heart and in the midst of the worst moments you can imagine, the Lord visited me and I heard the comfort. There is a lot of visitation of ministering angels and joy even though my life was now a complete and utter mess due to no fault of my own. During this time, I had the strength I needed, the reassurance I needed and the joy that goes beyond words. I want you to know, He is there but we have to put our whole selves at the altar and be willing to do what is needed and when you do, you will experience joy beyond the pain. I have felt it and it is real. Thank you for your kind spirit I hope this story will lift you up and I know the loneliness of losing your mom. I was 3 years old, but during this rough time, she was able to minister to me and my family. I never saw the spirits I just knew they were there and who they were.
5:04 Learning to walk. That was a very inspired response. Well done being patient and teaching him in a Christlike way. In my opinion 😊 PS when I have said "Hey Girl!" Sorry I hope that you know how I meant that and that it didn't upset or bother you. It was more of "hey what's up girlfriend" type of expression to you because I feel close to you as a friend and sister and feel so many commonalities in our thoughts and opinions about things ;). I'm sorry
24:03 "put a pin in this" I love this. I'm not sure exactly why, but it feels like a surge of empowerment to think of pinning the hard times to look back at and see the truth of His constant support. Maybe because once we've pinned it, we can move on. We don't have to stay in the pain, worry or loneliness... we've pinned it for later. 😅
I don't see why we wouldn't. Christ has always called people to do His work. He leads the church now and we have a prophet/president. I don't see why that would change just because Christ is recognized as the King of the world as well as the King of the church.
Oaks talk Judge ye not lest ye be judging BYU makes it clear we are 10000% supposed to discern and judge actions if others and adjust ourselves accordingly. what we ARENT allowed to do is issue a FINAL judgment on someone- deciding repentance and the Saviors atonement is out if reach for them. WE arent allowed to cast them off in our minds from redemption but we are also commanded to call sin sin, flee from it, refuse to celebrate it, call to repentance ect. thats where we will be judged. Jesus did this hopefully and lovingly with the door wide open to the opportunity for all to turn again to Him and we must also. satans clever lies trick people into serving him by refusing to judge its the craziest gaslighting campaign I have ever seen people fall for so quickly against thousands of years of counsel and examples
Thank you for your sweet testimony, your sweet story about your dream and your mom, and your sweet voice.I always enjoy listening to your podcasts. ❤
Thank you so much Kim! 🥰🥹
OH I look so forward to SEE with my eyes what I can not see right now and UNDERSTAND what I see.
I enjoy your voice. It is calming to me.

I love your testimony and heart.
Beautiful story. Thanks for sharing. 💗
This was powerful.
Thank you!!! 🥰
This is what we are discussing for elders quorum tomorrow I listened to it today on the gospel library app .

8:51 We're all not easy to love at some point in our lives I think
Oh man…I need those extra 49 forgiveness numbers.
With Jesus, you’ve got them! 🥰❤️
With the ending of his talk, and President Nelson's talk. Is President Holland talking about President Nelson be that Prophet? Are we that close?
@@packman579 yes I really think so. I feel it in my soul. Like a memory that I can't completely access
Can you explain more what you’re referring to? I heard her read it said prophets after Nelson?
Will we have Prophets in the Millennium?
If we consider apostles to be prophets than yes
Great answer.. I wasn’t sure! Plus, all previous prophets will be there too.. so yes, I would think so!
I don't see why we wouldn't. Christ has always called people to do His work. He leads the church now and we have a prophet/president. I don't see why that would change just because Christ is recognized as the King of the world as well as the King of the church.
