I’m not a member but I like this speaker

[@PJ-mb3ue]

Me too

[@misabel801]

He is the best! He addresses the profound mysteries of being human, and raises us Higher !

[@recursosyvaloreshumanos9582]

Yes I like him too,, he has something different when he teachers us,,,I wonder if I can become like him one day,,,I want to

[@lindajoyner8067]

What can we do to change this? Listen to our message and see if we have something to offer you. My life began when I heard this message of restoration , I stand in wonder that I was one of the few who was able to see the the fulfilling of the many prophecies of another book to come forth in the latter days that would stand with the Holy Bible as a second witness of the of our Savior Jesus Christ.

I wish my grandpa could have met Elder Uchtdorf. He was also a pilot who loved to talk about flying. Eventually, he had to give up his license because of a heart condition. But, several years later, in spite of there being little hope for Grandpa's survival, President Nelson operated on him and extended his life for another 25 years! As you can imagine, my family is very grateful to the Lord and President Nelson for that.

[@HAJensen19987]

That’s super cool

[@user-ms4tl2ys4n]

​@@HAJensen19987Thank you, they're three of my favorite people... President Nelson, Elder Uchtdorf, and my grandpa!

[@juliebridge7590]

Thanks for sharing!! President Nelson must have been a gifted surgeon, guided by Heavenly Father!!

[@user-ms4tl2ys4n]

​@@juliebridge7590Absolutely. He was a world-class surgeon, so the people he operated on were very fortunate.

[@jesuseliozepeda3742]

I love you Elder Uchtdorf, you are a light in our lives. Your love for truth, intelligence, and depth of spirit illuminate our paths.

[@shelleyeisele1022]

This talk touches me deeply-I have dealt with a health issue that has caused me and my family problems for decades--and it has been difficult to find the help I need because doctors don’t agree with one another-and I’ve been like a birdie in a game of badminton. I needed to hear these words-and I pray that God will bless me with healing and joy-

[@lorihanby6733]

What a blessing it is to have the technology to be able to not only experience these teachings live but to watch them over and over again. So many talks were answers to my prayers this weekend. Dear Elder Uchtdorf thank you for lifting my spirit higher and overflowing my cup. ♥️

[@3DMOVIES4YOU]

This Man never disappoints me in his message and in the Spirit in which he speaks it. Thank you Elder Uchtdorf, you have brought me closer to God and closer to this Church by watching and listening to you over the years.

[@Damariobros]

Dieter F. Uchtdorf has always been my favorite apostle. His words touch my heart in ways like no other apostle's do, they connect with me like none other.

[@kevinpyne24]

"My dear brothers and sisters, dear friends, as you search the word of God for a deeper understanding of God’s eternal plan, accept these invitations, and strive to walk in His Way, you will experience “the peace of God, which passeth all understanding,” even in the midst of sorrows. You will feel a greater measure of God’s unsurpassable love swelling within your heart. The dawn of celestial light will penetrate the shadows of your trials, and you will begin to taste the unspeakable glories and wonders of the unseen, perfect, heavenly sphere. You will feel your spirit lifting away from the gravity of this world." Wow! What a great talk, divine counsel and heavenly peace achieved!

[@carolyndollar1533]

What a beautiful message . Inspired for our day with all of the turmoil in the world.

[@guymackey6226]

God Bless The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.🙏

[@deweyrowe4038]

Amen to that!

[@davedoesthingsdreaded]

God bless everyone not just the church members. Many church members leave it at just the "saints" but love should be showed to all

[@davidspalding9013]

Elder Uchtdorf is such a great speaker and leader. David Spalding. Australia

[@rmj4978]

This is by far my favourite talk. Elder Uchtdorf seems to be the more sensible, sensitive and in tune with the LDS community. Love his enthusiasm and his teachings.

[@bradmaclean1417]

Joy we seek to bring to others will be returned to us 100 fold!

[@DatWingMan]

Uchtdorf put into words what I’ve been trying to formulate for a while now, so I’m glad I have a talk to fall back on when talking to people about this topic!

[@larrytennant7476]

I am so thankful for our church to guide me in these unstable times. Inspiring to do more for my father in heaven.

[@cjextreme]

To this day I remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard this man speak for his first time. He has only gotten better. Wish I could say the same for me 😢

[@thrasband4176]

If we seek reasons to be angry to doubt to be bitter or alone we will find them; however, if we seek joy, look for reasons to rejoince and happily follow the Savior we will find it

[@maryellenrollins4642]

You missed his point about mental health issues. There are those who cannot just think positive and have joy. Some need medications, some have a great cross to bare from abuse. Some may not be well in this life.

[@SaimesaGreen-tx4ro]

Hi Elder and sister Uchdorf 😊🙂 Thank you.

[@matthewbeckett2625]

What a wonderful apostle, loved his testimony of Christ, the joy, healing and peace found in His gospel. The aviation story was a nice long awaited touch too haha. God bless Elder Uchtdorf, the rest of the Quorum of the 12 and First Presidency. And God bless you all no matter who you are.

When you think that there isn't much joy in this world and you haven't received many special gifts, then think upon this talk, this man, this church, this precious gift from a loving God. I am so deeply grateful that these amazing men have blessed us with their love of the Lord by serving and counseling us with such love. Thank you Elder Uchtdorf, your love for us is humbling.

Estamos muy felices de que pueda sentirse más feliz y animada con el mensaje del élder Uchtdorf.

[@barbarawinsor5306]

The best speaker by far, and the most handsome by even farther.

[@dorimosher9800]

I think it's because he doesn't talk like a General Authority😂. He talks like a normal human who has connection to reality. Just a thought🤷‍♀️. I could be wrong.

[@MrNashtyone]

Yes my mom used to say. What a handsome man.

[@MrNashtyone]

​@@dorimosher9800Your absolutely right. People aren't dumb. They feel and know a sincere kind person when they see one. That is not Bednar and some others. Don't get me wrong. They are inspired. They have to seek out inspiration for their calling and that's a tough job that I wouldn't want to have by any means. But if you were having a problem and wanted to go to a general authority to help you with it much like you would go to the Savior for his love empathy and understanding who would you go to? To me Uchdorf is that guy and that's just by the eye test. I'm sure he will be the prophet some day.

[@johnharvey4448]

​@@MrNashtyoneI think he will be too. I think Elder Bednar will be too.

[@RennieKativu]

Peace comes from following christ.God want us to be happy and with following him we can completely happy. This do not mean we wont have sorrow but with christ we can channel our sorrow by serving others. In service we forget about self and strengthen others.

Beautiful talk. Just Christ. No Russell M Nelson quotes, no excessive emphasis on tithing and covenant path. This man is a true christian. Its a shame he was demoted from the 1st presidency.

[@SchneeflockeMonsoon]

He wasn’t demoted. He was called for a time to serve with President Monson, and now he’s been returned to do other work. I sense you have much pain within you, my friend. Please, seek peace in the time you have, for no man nor the angels of heaven know the hour when he shall be called home.

[@MrNashtyone]

There are allot of people that are hurt and have hard lives that have been deprived blessings in in this life. They want to feel the empathy first and then they'll be ready for the other things. Of course what Nelson says is the way to access blessings from our father in heaven. But some people want to be heard and felt first before they can move to the next step.

[@MrNashtyone]

I hear you brother. Some apostles and prophets have never really been empathetic even though Nelson is telling people the way to access blessings. Which I have no doubt if everyone kept their covenants they would all be highly highly blessed from the Lord. He is saying what he should say even though there are many that want to feel that Christ like love and empathy from their prophet.

[@johnwerahiko6226]

​@@MrNashtyonebut the have a relationship with the creator and are given more than empathy, compassion and the opportunity to receive all that the father hath this life is only a moment it really is

[@nathanbanks2935]

Wonderful talk! I know that Elder Uchtdorf is a true apostle of Jesus Christ, and that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is Christ's New Testament Church restored to the earth again. Some of the facts that point to the true church is a church with: apostles, prophets, preachers, teachers, evangelists (patriarchs), etc. Also, the priesthood which comes not from degrees in theology, but instead comes from God through his authorized servants by the laying on of hands. None of Christ's original apostles were choosen because of theological education, but rather, they were choosen by God, because he saw potential in them. The use of temples are another one. Isaiah prophesied: " In the last days the mountain of the LORD’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it." - Isaiah 2:2 NIV Holy Bible The temple was also used post Resurrection of Jesus Christ, by his apostles. I think it's Luke 24:53, and again in acts 3. There are other things that I believe point to the fact that this is Jesus Christ's church, but these are some examples of ones that I though that I would share.
