Create Hope, Be a Mr. Jensen | Hope Works at Home

[@AmandaJane229]

A beautiful story. Thankyou for uplifting me today. Yes...the solution not the problem. Wise counsel.

[@jamesnstuff2635]

This is my Grandpa Larry Jensen... it’s beautiful seeing others appreciate him as much as I do. He has the biggest heart of any man I’ve ever known. I feel so honored to be named after him. James Larry Kirkham. Seeing all these kind comments brought me to tears.

[@animecreator3678]

Your grandfather sounds like a wonderful person!

[@NewLife54dg]

I was so inspired today by a short, simple video titled "Be A Mr. Jensen". I'm sure he has encouraged many others! Has anyone approached your grandfather about doing a book, documentary...or even a movie?

[@robertbaisley]

I had the chance to be in the same ward or stake with Clint. He is a giant of a spirit. Loved his role as Elder Kestler.

[@spanishwithlex]

I used to be part of this church but due to life circumstances, I walked away. Little by little I'm taking steps in the right direction towards the church again. Jesus knows better than anyone what we need. And I need him 🙏

[@danielandhisswiftiebuddyev1073]

I had major issues not keeping still during my childhood. My Father who was a guitarist, when I was a small child showed me a quarter beat on the kitchen table. They didn't have much money, but they bought me a drum set when I was 15. Over the next 32 years, drums have been so therapeutic to me. Clint's story is so important to me too.

[@jiggy_ii]

The church has helped me a lot

[@arandafan554]

Power of moments can change us.

[@bryanchavez8102]

This church has helped me alot.

[@corwinmorton3411]

Yes the churches helped me a lot too but then again I have helped the church and a lot of people in the church out quite a bit as well as prouvent a lot of things wrong that they thought because of my disability I could not do

[@corwinmorton3411]

This church does offer an awful lot of avenues that other churches do not

[@roccobro]

Me too.

[@yellowyosh470]

Me too Bryan, me too.

[@rubenrocha-evjanian3352]

That's awesome, in reality applying what the church teaching has helped you. The church teaches about Christ and he is the one that has been behind the help you needed

[@arandafan554]

I love it says the power of moments.

[@timothydoyle3380]

Fantastic message

[@Aaron-Miller-1138]

I love Clint Pulver! I got to meet him in person! His lesson about being better for others like Mr. Jensen really has inspired me! I taught it in a devotional for my missionary companions, they cried with joy of the spirit! Let us all follow the spirit of the Lord and be of help for others who struggle. We can build each other up! Us members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints represent the Savior Jesus Christ. He helped everybody, let us help and love everybody too! Even those who despise us, the atonement brings a measure of peace and comfort. I Elder Miller testify of that in the name of Jesus Christ amen!

[@pamweinberg1212]

Thank you. What an incredible beautiful story. 😉💛

[@patriciadixon4246]

I am so grateful for you president Nelson and for the words of encouragement. I have no doubt you are inspired by our Heaven Father/ I will do y best to follow the advice and share my graditude for life.

[@orulliansteph]

This is the same Mr. Jensen that gave me hope! I struggled with Math Drills and felt I was stupid, then Mr. Jensen gave me an opportunity to steady Math on my own away from distraction and not have to do the Math Drills. Through this, I whizzed through the Math curriculum and discovered I liked math and I was smart. This moment has affected my whole life and is one of the moments that inspired me to go back to college after I had all my kids and earn a teaching degree in Elementary Education. THANK YOU, Mr. Jensen!! You are an inspiration as a human being and as a teacher! I hope I will be able to touch lives as you did!

[@jennhoff03]

Oh, good! I panicked for a second that you were gonna say that Mr. Jensen saw that you didn't like Math Drills and gave you a set of drumsticks, too. Turns out that was his answer to everything! ;'D

[@jamesnstuff2635]

That’s my grandpa btw. ;) Grandpa Jensen. Love seeing others appreciate him as much as I do.

Beautiful beautiful story of HOPE, it made my day ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@zacharypaswaters2060]

Thank you for sharing your story to the 🌍 The spirit is very 💪 with your message about Mr. Jensen. People will want to learn and become 💯

[@seabunnysquish]

I was praying really hard today for help. Started slipping into allowing despair to engulf me. Then this video came up in my notifications when I finished. Heavenly Father really does listen to prayers, and he answers and cares. Thank you for making and posting this video.

[@churchofjesuschrist]

Hi Gerusha, thank you for sharing ❤️

[@DeborahGamble]

"...I don't think you're a problem, you're a drummer...." 💕 A beautiful story about potential and worth, very well told!

[@johannestobiasgrandhansen7855]

I knew it! This guy, Clint, is the actor playing Elder Kestler in the movie Saturdays Warrior from 2016. Man, you're just straight fire! And gosh he played that role well. All other LDS's who sees this comment, go home and watch the movie, it's a real piece of latter day art.

[@mattcompton2789]

Thank you for sharing. I love this store

[@peggytoes99]

EXCELLENT!!!!

[@BLAZEgamerGamer]

[@MarleeCraig]

I love this beautiful story, I hope that I can be a Mr Jensen for others ♥️.

[@gingerjimenez9987]

How lucky you are to meet that kind of person❤️🎁

[@Curly-Fry]

What an amazing story!

[@samuelperez1966]

Happy Thanksgiving Sisters, from my family to yours!! I love you all and am so grateful for each and every single one of you.

[@ronpalmer2u]

Great story to share with so many children and people. How can I become more like Mr. Jensen. Love one another.

[@colbyfromage]

beautiful!

[@pmwheatley]

What a great story and a great speaker!

[@arandafan554]

I am going to keep listening . I love how you say life is a moment and that we can see what's right with us and others. LOVE IT! ITS EPIC!

[@gaymichaelis7581]

What’s your name, Clint? Well, I so loved your video here! It was so inspiring and yes, hopeful, giving people hope! And you got me on that one or this one! I didn’t see it coming… That you were the kid in The school that couldn’t sit still! And the whole story with your teacher, Mr. Jensen and what he did for you, suggesting that you were a natural drummer! This story is awesome! Thank you, very much, young man/brother!!! So beautifully said and worded and so from the heart… I felt your wonderful spirit! Thank you again. ♥️🤗👍🙏👌

[@UnknownWorldMusic2]

5:45 “I don’t think you’re a problem. I just think you’re a drummer.” How amazing for a kid to be told that, to be told they’re not a problem, but talented

[@terriey5678]

Your amazing, I am crying so hard. Your Teacher is a Teacher of Love, Kindness and gave you so much. Blessings always

[@byucougarfamily]

Thank you Clint! And thank you Mr. Jensen.

[@crestachristensen6215]

Beautiful. 💗 Incredible story from an incredible storyteller. This made me cry. Sometimes hope is all we have, but in those times we learn that hope is enough.

[@debradalton5755]

I am thankful for a prophet:)

[@jmoney8962]

This is exactly how all should behave. Instead of fault-finding, but rather exemplify the attributes of the Savior. I try to do exactly as the teacher because I know what it feels like to be mistreated for the simplest thing or for what others believe I did wrong. Kudos to those who act like Clint’s former teacher. Beautiful story.

[@eforsyth1445]

Thank you, from all of the advocates of children! You are our hope and our reason for what we do. We just want you to see it too!

I love your light and admire the amazing happy face I just remember you as a little boy with that spiky hair

[@hubartS]

"HOPE" this word make me enable to standing still or struggle in the rest of my life. I'm a father of two young doughters the elder are 15 years old and the youngest is 12 years. I'm working at offshore drilling company till 2014. Company close the door for me and I'm out of work. one year later I'm in financial difficulty no money to pay school for both of my kids I almost to finish my life felling so shame and useless.untill one day my wife went to the churs asking for help for tuition fee for both of our kids. Thanks to Lord they agree with my wife. Nothing else i can do I'm surender to the Lord HOPE someday he give way to solve the problem. To support daily life I'm join with ride hailing company called GOJEK Indonesia.

[@edzeameh]

I feel the love he must have for the teacher. Watching and observing a problem minus the person challenged. Help us appreciate the person and know how best we can help. I am really touched by the story. MR. JENSEN Good bless you.

[@Horsehead147]

I really love stories like this. Just normal people, showing a little kindness, a little understanding, and changing lives in the process. May we all look for and find opportunities to do the same.

[@marizanatindim8577]

Thank you for sharing the experience of having hope. Many things in life's experiences are sometimes almost hard to feel the hope especially when we are walking on a dead end route and feel nowhere to go... it is already hopeless. But the Lord is always there for us. He always moves in mysterious ways. The dead end road that we were once walking began to move leading towards another way to go... Because "the best thing is yet to come"!

[@CaptainCory]

Reminds me of my football coach in high school. Good teachers are worth more than their salary that’s for sure.

[@self-developementhub3731]

I loved this. Thank you!

[@chandlerwalpole3216]

Clint! I had no idea that this was your story! This was amazing, man! You look like you're doing well, and I am happy you've been able to continue doing something you love!

[@williamfindspeople4341]

I'm a Mr Jenson. The pandemic has locked me away. So I mentor to the missionaries, and those are working on Family History. I don't know everything, but I know a lot. And walk and talk to my Mr Jenson everyday...Jesus Christ.

[@janeyjensen]

I love playing my drums. I love hearing from fellow drummers. This was awesome!!!!

[@sislau]

Clint is a wonderful inspirational speaker. I've seen him in person twice. Cried both times. He's great with kids. Have him come to your children's school and speak. It'll change those kids' lives forever! We need hope like this in the world, especially now. Thank you for sharing your story, Clint.

Amen. Thank you Pres. Nelson. That was a beautiful prayer and we love you as well. Just what we needed

[@carnivalwrestler]

"I don't think you're a problem, I just think you're a drummer!" It's been a long time since I've laughed that hard, still laughing as I type this. Thank you for your uplifting and inspiring message, and for sharing how this moment affected your life in such a positive way. It should give all of us pause to think of how we use words and how we can positively influence others, even those who are thought of as being "problem children." Thank the Lord for people like Mr. Jensen.

[@estellaeggleston1643]

Thank you for this!

[@audioartisan]

This very inspiring story just totally made my day/week/year. We need more Mr. Jensen's! This needs to be shared! (sharing this myself). Thank you for this!

[@danielreber1554]

Well said Clint! Thanks for sharing.

[@wandayanez2454]

I had two hyper active boy in Sunday School primary class. They would like to crawl under the table, under the chairs, even climb up the windows. I put a limit at the windows. I told them they can wiggle all they want , but must listen to the lesson. I will tell them the Lesson stories they needed to learn. They wiggle to their heart’s content. I asked the questions and they knew all the answers. Since I had the flexibility I allowed them and they were learning. That’s what counts. Unconventional yes, but they were learning the gospel. That was more important to me then keeping them quiet.

[@wtt8914]

Thank you for your great message especially this Holiday season. Be a Mr.Jensen in someone else's life.

[@AdamH8]

thank you so much for sharing your story with the world. Our young son is very active and fidgety too. so we watched some drumming videos and before we knew it at the end of the night he was loving drumming . we are going to explore this and see if he may have a talent for it . This may be just what our family needed during covid to keep this active boy going without going stir crazy at home :)

[@RedOnion4175]

I love they way he told this. I love your story! It's great how many different analogies are in this as well.

[@bldavenport]

As a teacher, I have had students like, Clint, hopefully I have been that Mr. Jensen to some of them, by inspiring them to be their best.

[@daddykampoy6086]

Sometimes our efforts seem like a drop of water in the bucket. At least it is a drop of water in the bucket

[@tylertime3624]

What a fantastic Story.

[@emk6360]

I was so hard on my son simply because he behaves differently from his siblings. He is the kind of a child who can never sit the whole day in the house. Always skating, very goodin convincing his friends to bow to his demands. always in trouble for coming home late. Thank you I will now use that as an opportunity to see his potential.

[@badewatieali4011]

Praises be to God Mr. Jensen had eyes to see because of Jesus Christ -Amen

Great way to teach the Saviors role in the Atonement as well as patience and love

[@wesleymccurdy1200]

I kind of hate school trying to shove you into a box. When there su much more. And God has talents he gave us. And it's our job on earth to use them. And give glory to God for them. Thank you sir. For your testimony.

[@angelinalobster]

I love these stories put on here. They are so inspirational. And I'm so glad 1 teacher saw the good. It reminds me of the savior seeking out the one sheep that was lost.❤

[@kayvanderveen575]

I love this message! Thank you for sharing! ❤️

[@Rockin_Ross]

I’m you. I was the tapper in school & now I’m 50 and am still playing drums. I’ve been told that “Drums are not a Church-approved instrument”. Yet, here we are using it to connect with others. Thank you for this. ❤️🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@rynnthetired]

It's not that they aren't Church-approved. Drums are just on the list of instruments that aren't supposed to be used during sacrament meetings (since they're not exactly reverent). There's nothing wrong with playing them in other, more appropriate settings. If anyone tells you differently, remind them that the Orchestra at Temple Square has a percussion section. 😉

[@thomasvanberg2485]

True that. I love the drums. I struggled with the drums. I'm curtain because of my ADD. Doing 4 things at once basically. But, I did it anyway.

[@virginiasomerville5113]

Thank you. It gives me hope for my future.🥰

[@AeviumFilms]

Clint, you’re my hero.

[@ShaneBrown20]

I love this. A friend of mine saw me tapping on things a lot as a 21 year old, and sold me his original drum set at a great price. He showed me how to set up the kit and how to hold the sticks. Then I taught myself how to play, just with the music in my head. I played out the sounds more slowly, until I could separate the different syncopations, and bring it up to speed. I did that over and over with different arrangements, until I had quite a repertoire. Then at that point I could just initiate whatever I wanted. Now I can play spontaneously and impromptu, having a sense for music that allows me to do so this way. I'm now 44 and I still love playing!
