No, it's not the same animator. I did the HA animation. The church must have hired someone else and asked them to copy my HA style. Flattering, I guess. I'm getting so many inquiries about this that I've decided to post these online to settle the rumors.
The music does go in a pop progression, using the constant chords of B Major, F# Major, Ab minor, E Major. It is a very beautiful music chord group, especially with the instruments used in this video.
So ... you believe that without the sealing ceremony, had they lived piously their entire life, they would still have been lost? So they labored for 4 years, risking their lives, for some sealing ceremony? Jesus himself was baptized in the middle of the woods! I'm glad my God exists everywhere I am and I don't need some expensive airfare or snazzy building to come unto him. I doubt this comment will get posted, but I had to make it.
Yo sé que los templos son casas del señor, y sé que la apacible influencia del Dios Eterno abriga el alma de todo aquel que se acerque a su casa con un humildad de corazón.
I lived in Houston near the Temple and now am a Senior missionary serving once a week in the Hong Kong temple. As new missionaries are called to various countries in our Area, we skype with them to help them prepare for welfare and humanitartian roles. When asked by a couple headed to an Asian country "How often will we go to the Temple?" you hear silence when we say they might go once during their mission. Many of our Saints are more than 1,000 miles from a Temple and go once in a lifetime.
over 10 years ago my mom and dad took their 4 kids from 2 to 9 years old on a 2 days trip to the temple that was located in the next country.. the day I got in the temple, I knew i was in the house of the lord!! 10 years later I drove 15 minutes to the temple in my country to get sealed with my eternal companion!! I love the temple!
We drive about 3 hours to go to the Washington D.C. Temple from Eastern Pennsylvania so it is not exactly easy to go very often, usually two or three times a year, (and we are anxiously awaiting the Philadelphia Temple!) but this is something much deeper. No one told them they needed to go to the temple because of the difficulty in doing so but they went because they wanted to. I loved the animations, too.
If utah we can drive to several temples in minutes. By the 10600 s off ramp, you can see oquirh, drapery and Jordan river temples at the same time. He is speaking to us to sacrifice more time
This is a wonderful video. Thank you. For me the sacrifices of going to the temple are so small—I have so many so close to me. It's amazing, though, how much the Lord blesses you for even the small sacrifices. I love this scripture and believe it is true: Mosiah 2:22-24.
This is very humbling. Here I am surrounded by beautiful temples (literally) and I have a hard time making it. I plan on changing that. God bless these faithful examples.
What sacrifice. What commitment. What faith. What a blessing to that family. I need to honor their diligence by visiting the temple that is a 15-20 minute drive from my house more often.
I remember making the trip to the Mesa AZ temple, as it was the closest at that time, from Dallas to be sealed as a family. Although as a child it seemed so far, the trip was awesome. Having 4 temples in Texas now is amazing. This work rolls forth.
With two small children, I can't imagine leaving my family for four years either. But as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the temple is an integral part of our faith--just as, for example, following Moses out of Egypt was a necessary leap of faith for the children of Israel. The sacrifice was not just to see the temple but to receive the blessings that come the covenants made therein. Great blessings are received from attending the temple.
@mrnebraskalaw I was inspired by your comment, thank you for taking a moment to share it with not only me, but with the entire world; beautiful words!
@kylelovette You've probably heard the expression, "it's complicated," right? Well, let's say that is the same answer I would have to give to you in answer to your question, if I am an honest man. I joined the church 16 years ago, at 22 years old, and it has saved my life.
@kylelovette a few years apart is a small price to pay to be sealed in the temple and be with each other for eternity. That might not appeal to everyone, but yes, an eternal family is the Mormon idea of what is right. :)
It's about having an eternal perspective. They could have spent those four years with their family, but then part with them forever after death, or they could sacrifice those four years so that they can pend eternity together. Those four years in the grand scheme of things are a barely perceptible moment.
just what i needed to hear, thanks so much for working so hard on these amazing videos. Believe me when I say, they make a difference in the lives of those who watch them & in the world as a whole.
This is a great message. I live within 30 minutes of the Oakland temple and never go there enough. Often times forgetting what a blessing it is in my life. This is a great reminder that there are always challenges to get to the temple but when we put our priorities in the correct order, we will be blessed for it.
Beautiful message of the temple. I testify that these eternal blessing will bind your loved ones to you for all eternity, death cannot keep you apart, as long as youare true and faithful to your temple covenants. There is no other way but there the temple and the covenants you make there that can bind you to your family for time and all eternity. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
and yet no Christian can enter...thats odd....

So leave your family for four years and go work in mine to see a temple? This is the Mormon idea of what is right?
