Continue in Patience

[VirginiaAndDavid152]

Great message. :) 

[SRB7709]

Wow. What he said is exactly the answer I had to a prayer a few weeks ago...

[shepherdti1]

i love his talks ;D

[starbenjoy]

Uplifting;>

[jaden20004499]

can you please write back what does mormon mean im serious im not being funny ok write back

[GrainerBarn]

@jaden20004499 to learn what "Mormon" means, look at the sites mormon.org or lds.org. "Mormon" is a nickname for "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." In that church we have a book of scripture called "The Book of Mormon." Mormon was the name of an ancient prophet and he is the one who originally put together all the writings that are in "The Book of Mormon." He is one of the main authors in the book. Somehow his name became the nickname for the church and its members.

[BrandenSaysHello]

@GrainerBarn pretty well said!

[HankyUSA]

Joachim de Posada gave a TED talk about this only a year prior. I wonder if that's how President Uchtdorf came to know about it.

[LDSgirlFamilies4Ever]

These videos are all so amazing and uplifting, I want to favorite all of them :)

[cliffsheets73]

I tried that experiment on my 3-year old after hearing about this. Sadly, she didn't pass :(

Maybe when she's 4.

[auriceli411]

The look on her face when she gets the second marshmallow is PRECIOUS.

[bensdad123]

I often find what is essentially myself in our father the heavenly lord jesus christ. I find myself in him and I continue to grow and grow out through the godhead. This video uplifts me in a way that I feel rivals what I feel for our savior when I see myself in him. All of us should pray like this more often. Amen.

[simplistc]

Who would dislike this! D:

[chrstilen5]

I dont get why people dont like the LDS. Have they maby not seen this?

[leokzaum]

I'm almost losing the chance to have the second marshmallow... thanks to this video, maybe I can still get the second marshmallow :D

[JohnGuitarSolo]

Very powerful !!

Thank you for the inspirational video

John

[saimbloodhead]

muy lindo la verdad

[StillSpy]

I think this video is very nice :) All of these types of church videos are super awesome! Even as a 17 year old I enjoy watching this because I know what I believe! Not to mention, the church knows how to make awesome videos :)

[TheZekeSantos]

Dose Anyone know what and when conference this was?

[mrjlclawson]

@TheZekeSantos It was April 2010 in the priesthood session

[masterskyrunner]

I like the music

[MsLavinia1994]

i m the girl at the end of the video..hahha

[masterskyrunner]

50 people didn't get another marshmallow.

[FATE522]

Thank you to whom keeps this channel and videos filled with the spirit and truthfulness of God The Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost and our Heavenly Father's Gospel. :) This message brings comfort that even though at the time we may have eaten our first marshmallow we can learn and be better and also to find patience. It is essentially through the Godhead that we can achieve our greatest potential. May we all continue to grow and find ourselves in Jesus Christ our Savior amen. :)

[lvbeinmom]

words to Live by

[Wade2st]

I remember this talk! The overlay of the study was very neat to watch and it made me wonder what goes through their minds when deciding to wait or not. Some simply played with the marshmallow. Others watched it.

This is very inspirational.

[Wearycollegestudent]

Wonderful message. I just had a lesson in patience this evening. I was trying to finish a knitting project. I ended up messing it up and ruining the project. I was heart broken. It took me months to knit the particular project. I showed a lot of patience with it till the end only to have it ruined. *sighs* Even in the most patient of projects even let down can happen. It's part of life. But in the process of ruining a project. I learned a lot more on knitting than I had expected. :)

[barter09]

Good message, but President Uchtdorf was a member of the Luftwaffe, was he not? The portrayal of his experience in the military looked like it was an American outfit.

[ColonelSheppard]

@barter09 He served in a joint service with the west german government. He was trained by the US in texas.

[vanderley3]

For crying out loud how could this not be the true church..!

[josu3mail]

wow!

[Candyman12314]

General Conferance tommorow!



[ShatteredGrace15]

Not religious, and i normally troll videos similar to this, but this is actually pretty good.

[countto21]

i'm one of those kids eating the marshmallow right away. i know i have to be patient and endure to the end, but i can't seem to do that.  well, i will do my best!

[princessmarrissa]

@countto21 I'm the one who stares at it and then throws it away. I don't like marshmellows XP

[thexperiments]

Awesome!

[glenniz1]

Thank you lord for sending me this message....I really needed it right now!

[CatoELYounger]

Great video!

[jaemacken]

While this marshmallow test does well to illustrate his point, I'd like to know more about the lives of those children. One reason we tend to want things now is that we quickly learn, even as children, that there are no guarantees in life. We learn early that people break promises. So, when we have objects or opportunities placed before us, our experience may influence us to take advantage while we can. Patience, a lot of times in this life, is NOT profitable or wise.

[eatcarpet]

But why would you want 2 marshmallows? The one was already pretty big enough.

[AVagent007]

@eatcarpet For when you get hungry again duh!

[goosejocke]

@eatcarpet Hi:) The marshmallows in this video was probably bigger then in the original test. And how a grown up would think compared to a 4 year old would think is not the same. (all the 4 year olds liked masmallows alot, i would think, otherwise what would be the point of the test) :). And the person that did the study could see a difference when i checked up on the 4 year olds, long time after, in their lives. The children that had waited, had better jobs etc. (they had worked harder). :)

[chickencat1]

ohsheet86 - This is a Stanford study. I'm sure they took into account those children who do not like marshmallows, and did not include any of them in their study. Simple evaluation in choosing the children in the first place. Anyone would agree that some people are better able to wait for a better deal in the end.

[tavalletta]

awesome

[Hippiepis]

Nice background music.....................

[doidletp]

The kids are so cute! Great video editing!

[andyrccar]

very good talk

"never give up"

[FunkyPz]

great message!

[JustWatchingYourVids]

Not much of a marshmellow person myself but if I was to receive 2 bowls of ravioli instead of 1, you know I'll be patient :). Good message though. I like the Shaytard family on youtube... Look them up and watch a few if you like this video.

[DHotDoll]

When do we know the wait is not a blind one?

[mauiboy8705]

@DHotDoll when you exercize faith.

[headacherack]

and remember folks.....The wise OLD reed bends in the wind. this is a saying that I use when I am being tried in different work atmospheres.

[journey624]

This message is 'timeless' - the lesson obvious. Thanks you so much for another well produced 'film' of a wonderful talk.

I hope you guys and gals behind the scenes who work on these know how much we all appreciate your talents in putting these together with such power!

[momasay]

Love this video! We all need to be reminded of this. Thanks!

[alvisc2002]

but if she waited even Longer she woulda got THREE marshmellows :P

[princessmarrissa]

@alvisc2002 lol

[nirwanaeathell]

I love look the child smile :)

[Saldrintj]

I needed to hear that really bad, thanks!

[BerkeleyBuilt]

not bad.

[mptips]

great video...

[elric0708]

You cut the end of the video. I end up taking the 2 marshmallow eating them in one bite. You should have seen the little girl's face

[ohsheet86]

That test is completely irrelevant, not everybody likes marshmallows, the 30% who waited may simply not want to eat them.

[StillSpy]

@ohsheet86 Think of the principle and not on worldly things, these are children who I am sure the nice man asked if they wanted one BEFORE the test

[Anamm14]

@ohsheet86 Well, I guess you should go tell Stanford University that. =)

[PaxVegas]

I enjoyed this video. :)

[LatinxAssassin]

@PaxVegas

~~~~~~~~~~

Me too.

[ExcellenceInAll]

Love this... 

[jrscott2007]

An answer to prayer. Thanks MormonMessages!

[sdwillden]

What I enjoy is the openness here. Sometimes we don't understand why things don't happen as we feel they should. Thank you for helping us to understand patience, from a realistic perspective.

[boltrix]

Awesome video. Love Elder Uchtorf speeches!

[papadonto8]

I'm still waiting for the second marshmallow.

[strapen2good]

"Children and Marsh-mellows"!

[medinasjohnny]

NICE!!

[Analatai1]

i love it......I always enjoy he's talks. : )

[Camberus]

I love the video, and Elder Uchtorf. It needs to be pointed out that the study is not necessarily about a trait of moral character. Just because a child has ADHD does not mean that he or she lacks moral character. Some disorders make it more difficult to wait, but the children who struggle with these disorders are not any less good than other children.

[ShNBl84]

@Camberus

Sorry Camberus, but 1) Elder Uchdorf did not say anything about moral traits, nor did he conduct the experiment. All he said was that the people doing the study found that those who were able to wait had more success in life than those otherwise. He did not suggest anything. And having ADD (not ADHD - this has nothing to do with hyperactivity) does not make you unaccountable nor mentally retarded. WE with ADD are PERFECTLY capable of making logical choices.

[krimmola]

This was great. thank you.

[peculiarandproud]

This is EXACTLY the lesson we had on this last sunday. What a GREAT message!

[thexperiments]

Wonderful message! Thank you!

[pose2pose]

This talk was a great help to me during the past year as I dealt with unemployment and struggled to find ways to suport my family. After nearly a year and a half, I finally got a great full-time job doing what I love, and living in a great neighborhood with good church members closeby. I definitely recieved that second marshmallow!

[ssntea]

@pose2pose

Thank you, I needed to hear what you said, I am struggling to find a job to support my family right now.

[BenjaminGessel]

Spot on. Spot on. :)

[SCDSlimShadow]

That was a nice talk... Uchtdorf is my fave guy.

[ChenelleMonique]

this is beautiful. I love Uchtdorf.

[alyajpheely]

The sister who gave the lesson in Relief Society this past Sunday told the marshmallow study story at the beginning. Very interesting and very telling.

[jefferylake62]

I very much enjoyed this talk by President Uchtdorf in the April 2010 Priesthood session of the LDS general confrence.

[DayneV11]

I loved this video, and I really need to learn patience.

[COCONUTclapz]

I wouldve broke the record for who ate the marshmellow the fastest... jus sayin... lol... loved this msg!

[Shevan08]

Beautiful.

[iwasmuted4]

I like this message. It's sad but i probally would be the kid that can't wait. :(

[BadHairsRevenge1981]

That little girl at the end is spectacularly adorable...she is SOOO happy! I hope that I can be patient in all things and keep hope in the Savior, Jesus Christ, and be happy and have joy at the last day as well.

[Davicho62]

Linda ensenansa de un principio basico......love it!

[IamAmyhan]

Thank you so much for the message. :)

[MyFavoritePupJasmine]

excellent talk!!

[xoxEllenoxo]

oh i really liked this video! ! thanks for uploading!

[MusicalThespian22]

I remember loving this talk when it was given last spring, so I'm glad this video was made.

[thehunter852]

@MusicalThespian22 me too!!!

[LalalalalaLauren75]

Thank you for posting this. What a wonderful reminder. :)

[joebob1379]

What a wonderful message. Thank you.

[halofreak2626]

Like if you love Uchtdorf and this talk! So good!

[9501599]

Subtitles well done, my daughter is deaf and does not always understand what is said in services so she stopped going. We need more of this on our church videos so the deaf can be included. In New Zealand videos with subtitles are hard to get. 10 out of 10.

[florwood]

singlewing, you can never tell how old Mormons are, with their health code and all.

I think Uchtdorf would say, I wasn't there, but I still have the type of witness of Christ that fulfills that requirement to be an apostle.

[MrDrayko]

My Father ALWAYS taught me this!

[mjhanagan]

This man is a master teacher. I love all his talks!!

[brianyrogers]

I have a blog titled Waiting Upon the Lord. It has a different perspective, using "waiting upon" as in 'to serve, to bin in attendance to' ... however, as this is the other side of the same coin, I simply must add it to my blog.

[omiolo]

In the due time of the Lord.

[mjwells100]

This message was much needed at a critical time for me. Thank you, Pres. Uchtdorf!

[OftenRatherAmused]

A virtue heavily needed in our instant gratification, "I'll take in on credit" society, and one I need to develop a lot further myself. The concept that patience is a direct predecessor of success is completely true.

[singlewing44]

It says this guy is an apostle... According to the scriptures an apostle must have bore witness to the life, the cruxifiction , and the resurrection of Christ. That gentleman really does not look that old- good message though

[brianyrogers]

@singlewing44

then you need to search his other speeches, where he does exactly that.

Patience!

[matthewdavis1987]

@singlewing44 The whole message was a testimony and a witness of Christ, I know this man to be an apostle of Jesus Christ. if you would like to hear more from this apostle of the Lord feel free to visit lds.org of mormon.org for alot more videos and teachings of Jesus Christ. I Agree also it is a good message :) God Bless.

[srbushman]

@singlewing44: He does have the title of apostle for the Mormon church, which in no way diminishes the important role of the original apostles during Christ's ministry. Apostle means "one sent forth", whom the original apostles were Christ's closest disciples, and who he sent forth to represent Him after His ascension. (Mark 16:20). Pres. Uchtdorf fills a similar role, in testifying of Christ while filling a leadership role in the Mormon Church. I agree, it is a great message.

[Malevolous]

@singlewing44 Who is to say he didn't? That self same Bible speaks of visions and revelations of things past, present and future. Only God truely knows the extent of a man's knowledge, and the only way to know if this man truely is an apostle is to study the fruits, and ask the source of all knowledge if he is. And yes, it is a good message.

[terminatorgir]

@singlewing44 thanks for being respectful in your argument and comment. hopefully others have the same respect if they choose to respond

[BornAgainstMormons]

I couldn't wait for this video to begin.

[danielandia31]

Thanks God .. This is what I needed to hear ...

[appleyum42]

Don't we all appreciate people who are patient with us? Aren't we all glad God is patient with us? We do all need the faith and patience to continue keeping the commandments even when we are not sure why things happen the way they do. and I hope they have marshmallows in heaven. I love marshmallows.

[lhawkes5]

Great reminder! I am an instant gratification type of person but also know that good things come to those who wait. A good saying I like is not only endure to the end but ENJOY to the end.

[OriginalAdler24]

Bless you... and bless these messages. The ONLY thing I ask for myself in prayer... Forgiveness for my sins.

[yellodello1221]

This is exactly what I needed to hear.

[PammySpammyTheHammy]

I loved this message!! And I loved this talk!!!

[klas3d]

i love it
