I thought I was up to date on LDS Church DVD releases! I’ll go check this one out.

It looks like it has the segments from Teachings of the Doctrine & Covenants and Church History (the Wilford Woodruff story, Zion’s Camp, Martin Harris, etc) which is our favorite Church video!

Is the Oliver Cowdery segment the one with the same actor who portrayed Parley P. Pratt or is it the one with Richard Dutcher as Oliver?

Is that the one about the blessings of tithing that came to the saints in St. George?

Since you mentioned the video, one of my favourites is Windows of Heaven.

Thanks for sharing, pdoe. I love hearing these kinds of stories, because they always give an extra perspective on what faith meant to these people. And sometimes I have a hard time getting up for 9:00 church (ok, well, every week I do)….

This isn’t a church story in the sense that I think you mean but it is from church history.

My great-great-great grandparents converted in Denmark and emmigrated to Utah with their family of 11. One son was lost on the crossing, washed overboard by a rogue wave. A child born on the plains was also buried on the plains. By the time they actually arrived in Utah there were only four people left; the mother, two grown daugthers and one young daughter. To have suffered all that and fought through to Utah in spite of it all… I think my great-great-grandmother must have been a woman of greath strength and deep faith.
