    Listen to an interview with the filmmakers: bit.ly/16gHb18
    Toward the end of World War II, my mother decided to flee to Germany where her parents were living. Though I was only three years old, I can still remember this time of fear and hunger. Along the way the train stopped occasionally to get supplies. One night, during one of these stops, my mother hurried out of the train to search for some food for her four children. I know with certainty, her faith overcame her fear, and her hope overcame her despair.

    I loved this story and the cartoon. I love Dieter F Utchdorf. His messages, his accent, and his gift of story telling. Especially, those true stories near and dear to his heart. Great music with it, as well.

    I can't even imagine how his mother felt during that time. As a relatively new father, just thinking about how I might feel if my kids' train vanished makes me sick inside. This is a very inspiring story.

    I really can not tell you what a Mormon is but i can tell you this we are all children of god and if you are ever scared or in need pray he is there, speak, he is lisening you are his child his love now sourounds you! I am A MORMON!

    • @aileenhampton6911
      @aileenhampton6911 Před 4 lety +1

      A Mormon is a common term for a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (or perhaps one of its offshoot churches, as has been featured in the news this past week about murders in Mexico). Jesus Christ has brought His own organization to the earth in these last days, to restore truth, power, and His authority in preparation for His second coming. We are the members of that church, and you just heard the voice of one of His apostles. Come here to learn more, to hear His truths, and hear His leaders, for modern life. Join us!

    @JohnShakin Před 4 lety +2

    The most beautiful thing about this is that after she prays, she still doesn't see the train. She takes off running with hope regardless of what she does or does not see. Only by doing that does she then get to a point she can view the correct train where her soul is.

  • @kennethreddy2974

    Never stop looking when you fear that you lost something important to you, ask and you shall be given to you, search and you shall find, knock and the door will be open for you, Jesus teaches us to never loose faith but keep on having faith because in the end you shall receive it, amen✝️❤️

    It brought tears of joy and worry she wouldn't find her children...but of course she did - what a beautiful lesson on faith and hope. No wonderful Elder Uchtdorf is such a choice leader and son of God.

    This is beautiful. Nice animation! I love these kind of videos and if you make more many families will love to watch them every day! My most favourite one of these animations is the coat animation. I subscribed because your animations give me a good feeling that the church is true. Best channel ever! Viewers if you believe in Christ than you will love this channel. Mormon channels are perfect to get you out of a bad mood! Creators of this channel. I hope you have a great life and you will always have faith. I give this prayer to you that you may live a faithful life 😊

    I hope that the story of his family going across the border is being created to share in a way such as this one. The moment when he and his mother were eating lunch and realized that they had not yet crossed over is amazing...and his siblings hopping off the train...wow.. too much. Such faith. Love this family.

    My mother sacrificed so much for her family over the years and I'm grateful for her this Mothers Day. My mom actually had to be away from her husband and four kids in Mexico to wait for her papers. We prayed for her to return soon, even when it turned into nearly a year and a half. I thank my Heavenly Father to come back right before Mothers Day and for the inspiring videos like these she sent to us over the phone. I'm so happy I'm in this church, I'd be so lost without it's words of hope.......

    I am crying and I am only thirteen. my first tear was because I have 3 passed older siblings and 1 younger one. my second because she looked so scared and sad and heartbroken but didn't just sit and cry. my third because she prayed and m fourth because it worked. then I cried 100 when she found her babies.
    I truly believe that my family and I will be able too see my siblings again. and when she found her babies that is what my mom will do when she sees them again. I miss them
    and I love them but I know one day we will be best friends!
