    President Hinkley will always have a special place in my heart. When I joined the church in 1999 he was the first prophet I ever heard in my life. He was a special man that I will always remember. I miss him.

      +Martin Espindola , That is the voice of the lord speaking to your heart, telling you that the gospel is true. Am glad you feel the love of christ and the connection to all living things. That feeling is a confirmation of the restored gospel. Please if you haven't yet, look for the missionaries. They have a message that will bless your life now and forever, especially ask them about lesson 1 and 2, it is my favorite. I know the gospel is true, i know the savior died for us and i know his love is for us to feel and you too can feel that peace if you listen to his servants. May the good Lord bless you and your family to see the truth. Amen

    Every time I see our sweet, departed Brother Hinckley, I miss him with such a profound sorrow. How glad he must be to be rejoined with his sweetheart on the other side after crying himself to sleep for years after her departure. President Hinkley, you were a wonderful father to all of us while you were here and we will never forget you or the greatness of your works. And give your beloved wife our love.

    I love watching this video with my children. It brings a tear to my eye every time I watch it. Imagine what the man working in the field must have thought. As far as he knew, these silver dollars came down from heaven. When we are in any level of service to our brothers and sisters, we are also serving God.

    • @evam2351

    What a wonderful lesson for us all. We can choose the right and be an instrument in the Lord’s hands instead of a tool of the adversary, the choice is ours. President Hinckley gave wise counsel in this story.

    This is another good example of how we can be a blessing to people. Often times if we seek to offer Christ-like kindness and selfless service, we can be the means that God can use to answer the prayer and needs of all his children.
