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.

[@marypettyfer4640]

[@danroberts591]

[@extrovertedintrovert2900]

This touches me every time! God bless whoever is reading this. ❤️❤️❤️

[@tpdircks]

This goes to show how much difference one person can make in the life of another.

[@BlueJayBirdSaint]

And how God uses us for fulfilling his purposes.

[@carterallred3238]

We never know when our actions can change someone’s life. I’m thankful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and the impact it has had on my life because of those people I know that were put into it by god.

[@SkateLegMartin]

This is Beautiful. Im not mormon. i do believe in Christ & this emotion after watching this video is the soul & heart of Christ. You can truly feel the love of Christ & the connection to all living things.

[@davidtinkorang9319]

+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

[@jimbombchang3992]

Good for you I am proud for you I hope you become a member of the church 😆☺☺☺

[@jimbombchang3992]

[@davidtinkorang9319]

Jim bomb Chang,Tom Pearson. I know that God lives and that his son who is my older brother died for you and i. i know his gospel is true and has the everlasting message. I will urge you to search the truth in him and not in any human, i know he will touch your heart and he will lead and guide you to the truth. God bless you all.

[@LAMADDOGMADDIN]

I will never forget this man of God. Thank you President Hinckley.

[@michaelpace951]

I've watched this video time and time again, and it never ceases to touch my heart. There is truly nothing more Christ-like than true, self-less, kindness.

[@JBrewer5]

I love President Hinckley. I pray that my children will grow up with this Christlike kindness demonstrated by these young boys.

[@adamantlyadam5201]

He was the prophet during my teen and early adult years. I love that man so much and will always feel like he was MY prophet.

[@madalynsigrist5683]

I am Mormon and i do believe in God and i love seeing these please make some more! This one made me cry BTW.

[@charleelee4166]

I love and miss president hinckley. I was too young to really remember him when he passed away. I didnt have a testimony of prophets then, but I am so grateful that i do now

[@surferdudedead]

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]

The dollars did come from heaven: they were given to the boys, who chose to listen to the Spirit and bring them to the farmer.

[@gagelawrence8443]

Mosiah Chapter 2 verse 17

[@Lowebotz]

For years, this has been one of my favorite stories. I almost never cry, even with a broken arm, but this story brings me to the verge of crying with tears that fill up my eyes. I love this inspirational story that makes me think in a different perspective, and I hope that this video has touched others as well.

[@primrosendlovu6764]

[@robertgorgoglione9686]

This video has got to be one of the most popular videos of it's kind, ever. This video shows the importance of charity, giving from the heart, and how important a Christ-like love is. I love all prophets, and miss all of them who are gone. I fully believe that President Gordon B. Hinckley is one of the greatest story tellers, ever, don't you think? I love this video, and always start to cry, whenever I watch it, it is that beautiful....

[@sissyj9463]

[@dianebrewer6531]

I have seen this before and have been very impressed by it. What a great example it is to everyone.

[@magtownlds]

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.

[@sione43]

[@rabbit4111]

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.

[@Horsehead147]

I miss you President Hinckley. You were a great man.

[@backupchannel231]

President Gordon B. Hinckley was surely anointed of the Lord. I know that Heavenly Father and Jesus have exalted president Hinckley, and he has been given a crown amongst the prophets of old. Together with Moses, Elijah, Isaiah, the Apostles of Christ and the Apostles of the Americas, and Joseph Smith, President Hinckley is now seated upon a seat of glory with them. Amen.

[@chantelgonzales913]

So true many are called and I know wth every fiber of my being he was so special this makes me cry every time -truly loved him I always felt the spirit of our Lord and savior💝
