  • I love this video Elder Holland has a way with words. Every time I watch this video I choke up. I am so glad we have watchmen on towers, who see further then I can. We can reassure on 2 accounts. One personal and one spiritual.

  • Words cannot express the sweetness and comfort this message gives me. This is exactly what I needed. I'm so grateful for everything in my life, despite what seems like very hard trials that I'm experiencing.

  • @natelovesyou I think the lesson is that town needs a better mechanic

  • Everyone of us has times when we need to know things will get better. i needed to hear this today:) no matter where your headed in life, with Jesus between us, all will be well!!! Don’t you quit! you keep going:) I have strength for anything through Him who gives me power!!!

  • @headshot349 I think this is a video about when Elder Holland and his wife left Utah to go to graduate school in the east (Yale.)

  • This is Sweet.. i know that good things will always come to those who endure their trials and striving to keep all the commandments.. this is the power of the atonement in our lives, giving us the assurance that good things will always come because Jesus gave His life for us that we may hope that Heavenly Father will always extend His loving arm to His children..

  • "Don't you quit! You keep going!"

  • im in a difficult situation of my life right now, only thing i can do is to work hard and hope and have faith....believe good things will come.

  • I consider my self an emotionally strong young man not prone to crying for anything. This video had me crying like a little child, because as a father some time in my future the strength of this father hit me in my heart. And i was at a quite trying time in my life when i watched this video. my mom walked by and asked why i was crying so i showed it to her. still wondering why i was crying (as she did not) I replied it is just what i needed to hear.

  • Wow... This message Suprised me... "Don't you Quit" "Keep Walking" "Keep trying" do you know what does he mean's ??? I almost cry lol Maybe i should stopped thinking I'm Alone or something Negative thinking and Believe that there is a Good thing's will come for me :)

  • don't you quit walking those three miles... don't you quit. wow that like 6 miles of walking, good thing he had god on his side for putting him in that position to begin with. so uplifting

  • Would anyone have Elder Holland's original address of 1988 of souls, symbols, and sacrament?

    I would greatly appreciate it

    Thanks

    

  • @SuavePapichulols

    I have it on dvd, but I don't know that I have the software to rip it and upload it to YT.

  • This is so good... I just wonder who the heck dislikes it?? Must be pretty sad people...

  • Some blessings come soon, some come late, but for thous who believe, they come!

  • so...i watch this to uplift me. :)

  • This is the best video ever!!!! Thank you Elder Holland. I am a father of 4 children(9,6,4,2) and at times it gets crazy and to hear those words. 'Don't quit,you keep on walking, you keep trying there is help and happiness ahead.' strengthens my spirit.

  • This message is for me. I am going through a lot. and I once again got an assurance not to quit and keep trying. BLESSINGS WILL COME… :)

  • So, what does god have to do with this?

  • @reznorfan7635526149 It's about counting your blessing in the face of adversity and having faith in times of need.

  • @reznorfan7635526149 Its the journey that will lead us back to Heavenly Father.

    To have the faith to follow through to the end.

    To trust God and believe and good things will come.

  • @reznorfan7635526149 All good things come from God. In the church we try to lift and inspire each other to help one another get through life and make it to heaven. The message here is that sometimes things don't always work out the way you think they should but God will always direct you when you let Him. :) Hope that helps.

  • Absolutely amazing and inspiring video. What an incredibly powerful message of hope to us young fathers and husbands.

  • Elder Holland is a true very true man of god. These man of the church say everything of help, faith and charity.

  • =]

  • dont you quit

  • THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING I LOVE MORMON TEACHINGS!!

  • This short video has been a strong inspiration for me in my life. I worry about being a good husband to my wonderful wife. God bless her for wonderful person she is. I often view myself as the husband in the video. Lost at what to do on occasion. But the Gospel of Jesus Christ is powerful. It gives me strength to carry on. To be a little better, and to try a little harder. "You keep trying". There are good things to come.

  • This video changed my life. :) Well I'm going through a really hard time right now and this helped me out so much. Thank you Elder Holland. THis is why i love you so! <3

  • Amazing video! A message all of us can use.

  • Elder Holland,

    You're an awesome servant of the Lord and I am so grateful that I am priviledge to follow your prophetic guidance. This movie brought me to tears, and I felt the Spirit so strongly as I watched.

  • This is one my favorite video. I also have similar experinces struggling with my family .Some blessing have come soon some of them later on but I know that I am not alone.Jesuschrist lives I trust him!. I am so grateful for our prophets in our days!Thank you Elder Holland!!! Costa Rica.

  • This is one my favorite video. I also have similar experinces struggling with my family .Some blessing have come soon some of them later on but I know that I am not alone.Jesuschrist lives I trust him!. I am so grateful for our prophets in our days!Thank you Elder Holland!!! Costa Rica.

  • tears off joy can only express the way the spirit touched my heart with the warm feeling of encouragement and courage itself never give up on patients cause it will never give up on you it will only give you the promised blessings the lord has instored for you

  • Thank you Elder Holland for this wonderful talk! I really NEEDED to hear this!!

  • I feel like I am in a similar rut, although it doesn't involve a car.

  • I cry every time I hear those words "Don't you quit." I love Elder Holland.

  • Some blessings come soon. Some come late. And some don't come till heaven....BUT THEY WILL COME!!!! This makes every second worth it.

  • This has been one of my all-time favorite talks. The whole thing is excellent!

  • Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to keep me going today..

  • Ever since I watched this video I get Elder Hollands voice saying in head :" DON'T YOU QUIT" when struggles come to me...I love you Elder Holland:-)

  • I am a young adult struggling with a small family... that part make me cry too.

  • This message means so much to me as I go through very difficult times right now. I needed it. Thank you very much.

  • this is my favorite video. i know things will get better despite my discouragement and heartbreak.

  • I get emotional everytime he tells us not to give up...don't quit. How much it would be easier if I just quit. But I don't and I won't. I trust God.

  • So, I LOVE this talk by Elder Holland. However, I'm a little bummed that you didn't really film it in Kannarraville (Where my Grandparents are from). But, you filmed it in Ivins where I am from, so I guess that's okay. :)

  • Oh how I love the gospel of Jesus Christ! How comforting it is to know how much He loves us. Sometimes it is hard for me to see the whole picture and have faith all will be well. Sometimes life can be so hard and back-breaking. But every time I start to think it's just too much, and I can't possibly climb back up again, Jesus Christ comes to me. "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." (John 14:18)

    Truly He is the Savior of all men, and loves each of us personally. (^_^)

  • I have been struggling in my own way and this sweet video helped me realize that we're not alone and that we need to keep going in life, even when the road can be tough. I love how the Apostles and the Prophet can bring such comfort in your life. :)

  • God doesn't quit, but Man doesn't make any excuses when he walks off in the wilderness... In my opinion some abanded their loved ones and leave 'em behind and that is a selfish choice, there was no complaining. Man doesn't reap or sow... Remember this always think about others what they say to you ? It can get you and your family into crisis

  • a wonderful sentiment so beautifully expressed!

  • Trials come into your life to help you learn and grow. Very often the trials aren’t easy and sometimes they can be downright hard. But if you endure the trials well a loving Father will exalt you on high. Remember your loving Father in Heave was once as you are and had endured what you are enduring and fully understands what you are going through. And if you show forth faith and endure with patents you will give you much needed comfort to help make the endurance of your trial easer.

  • thank you so much god bless you Elder Holland

  • i love those words...'don't give up, don't you quit' thankyou Elder Holland for sharing your thoughts, arohanui.

  • What a Great talk! I spoke with my father just recently, and had told him I was worried about the financial struggles that I and alot of family members and friends are facing also. This video has reminded me that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks DAD for keeping me in your prayers, Love ya

  • I love this video. Shows the truth. (: This helped me so much.

  • I feel the same as what foytunate. My home has had disaster after disaster this last month. This video is very encouraging and renewing. I needed to hear this.

  • The story and the word give us comfort and hope too.

  • I love Elder Holland! His testimony is one of many that testifies of the truth of Christianity. Even if the church wasn't true, what better way to live than to give hope and love to others? I know that Christ knows my hardships, and that he alone can get my through each and every one of them. I'm so grateful for the gospel of Christ!

  • beautiful and simply profound

    Elder Holland has a gift for teaching with rich, personal conviction.

  • Man. I feel like that dude.

  • You have no idea what this video has done for me.

  • @foytunate

    me too.

  • Thank You Elder Holland. I have listened to this a lot. It has helped me get through one of the hardest adult trials I have faced in my life. I have repeated the words out loud. Saying, "Don't you Quit, You keep walking, You keep trying, There is help and happiness ahead." I am very grateful for these words. I may watch this video everyday until my heart is healed.

  • I am so very grateful for this message. I believe it is inspired of God. It is hard to speak with people about religion with people who have differing beliefs, but the message here is unmistakable. There is a passage in the bible regarding the Savior that speaks volumes, "He went about doing good." The spirit of this video is just that. Therefore I believe it is of God. I am still wiping the tears away in gratitude that God has prophets on the earth again. Thank you Elder Holland.

  • Yes, good things will come to those who believe and HOPE. I just finished a long hard year with cancer and had days when I thought I would "give up" although the doctors will not tell me I am cancer free, I am the happiest I have ever been in my life. That happiness comes from knowing HE LIVES and that he lifted and carried me through the rough times..... don't quit

  • I really needed that. I'm at a point in my life where I'm tempted to just ask the lord to take me home, but I know he wants me to keep going. I need to gather up strength until good things do come to me.

  • This is why I love the gospel so much-- it gives me every reason to hope. I know that only the best is yet to come, even though sometimes that includes trials to help me grow. I know God is in control and that if I stay close to him, nothing- and I mean nothing- can get in the way of my eternal happiness. Just hold on :)

  • Thank you. I have these times. This helps.

  • This video gives me great hope! It is a great story!

  • Loved the video and thought that it was for me and my son whose on an LDS mission in Hong Kong. I wish that he could see it. Don't give up, son! I love you buddy!

  • Wow, I tried to hold back my tears but I just couldn't. I feel like I am in the same situation right now where nothing can go right. This has given me hope.

  • I have come back to this message again and again.

  • does enyone knows where i can get the entire talk? i've read it but i'm looking for the audio or the video ...thnx

  • My family are searching for a house.I almost gave up until last night when I suddenly was felt with inspiration and grabbed my laptop and started looking for houses on craigslist.I found 12 houses that met our needs,I'm only 14.

  • Beautiful!

  • LOVED that. Thanks.

  • What a great but simple reminder. No matter what adversity we face, never, never give up.

  • inspiring video

  • It says a lot about a video when it can be posted in public on youtube and only a small handful of cynical critics blast at it. Most viewers can apparently feel the spirit of this video and the message about the Lord it contains when they watch it. The Spirit always testifies of truth, and only those who have hardened their hearts cannot sense it. Great video, and so meaningful in these times when so many are struggling financially!

  • No matter what, just keep believing on Jesus Christ and things will, in His time, get better. Of that I testify!

  • Thank you.

  • this is Nathans favorite talk and now I know why...it is beautiful and perfectly put... :-)

  • @cheerbabe5001 It is so uplifting. Thank you.

  • Thank you so much for this message! It's already given me hope that things will get better.

  • " Don’t you quit. You keep walking. You keep trying. There is help and happiness ahead"

  • What a great message...share this video with all your friends!

  • wow this is very powerful! I am a member of the church and I am struggling to make some big choices in my life, I have been praying to find a job but havent found one yet but I know that god is always there for us even if we feel he isnt he can lead us in the right direction and help us to find the things we need!

  • It's so true, we can't think that tomorrow will be just like today, trouble may seem everlasting but it isn't. Thank you President Holland.

  • Nice -- great acting by the young father. That guy has limitless potential -- he's good at acting without acting, y'know?

  • I needed to feel that things are going to get better. I've felt like giving up and everyday the Lord sends a friend, a video, a scripture, a hug, a call, or something to help me make it through. I also get such joy from being a friend to others. Never give up. Never quit. Feel the Spirit and know that things will get better.

  • I really needed this video. I need to be more patient with my loving wife and be willing to go the distance.

  • does anyone know the what the background music is? Excellent talk. Needed this. :)

  • Elder Holland,

    If you only knew what a hard time we've gone through the past two weeks. I can honestly say that the huge volume of prayers, and this video which felt like it was made especially for me, got me quietly through those times. Thank you for your goodness, and your sweet testimony of the gospel, and the amazing way that you can touch hearts with your spirit. I am indebted to you.

  • Such a great message!!

  • fantastic!

  • i know its true..good things will always come as we embrace the true gospel of christ

  • A beautiful and true message. :)

  • I sang in the choir for the conference session where this talk was given...Oh, the memory and the opportunity to hear this message 11 years later again!

  • Love it :o)

  • This clip was just what I needed. I just moved, and was feeling so alone and discouraged today. I just started to cry when he said, "Don't you quit." This message was just for me.

  • @apriljeanjacob me too

  • @apriljeanjacob i feel exactly the same today... i will keep in mind those words "Don't you quit" , May God bless you

  • @apriljeanjacob Good Luck April Jean,,, You can do it!!

  • trust in God...but dont' forget to KEEP WALKING TOO!

  • I needed that today. beautiful.

  • beautiful.lots of tears here!

  • This has been a message that has touched me since the first time it was shared in 1999. I am thrilled to see it put onto a video like this! Thank you for bringing such touching messages and presenting them in such a beautiful format!

  • What an amazing message. Trust in God and believe in good things to come. We don't know what tomorrow might bring, but the Sun will always rise in the morning. Don't lose hope.

  • Does anybody know what is the background music? I would like to translate the video into chinese for our church activity and I would like to use the original background music. Please help.

  • Beautiful...

  • Trust in God. Wonderful Words...

  • Beautiful message <3

  • The full text of Elder Holland's talk from which this was excerpted is at LDS.org.

    You can search for "An High Priest of Good Things to Come"

  • Beautiful message f- I'm a young father and appreciate Elder Holland's message to keep on walking forward.

  • Well done... It's a beautiful thing to know that God wants to be our Saviour. From His perspective: I can't imagine looking down on this world, hearing and seeing the thoughts, doubts, addictions, sufferings & worries of billions of people... and still reaching out in the hope that they might overcome. It would take a lot of love and patience, only in the abundance that he has I suppose. The best part about it, is through Him, we can overcome :) If you feel you've fallen, just rise again.

  • this was one of those things that you come across when you wernt even looking for it... it stopped me from my current path of thoughts and sent me into another direction in just five minuetes... what a wonderful message thanks!

  • Beautiful Video Being A Mormon Is So Awesome. Being A Member From Guatemala And Now That I Am In The U.S The Love And Embrace From The Members Is The Same No Racism At All...Not Many Can Say That Arizona Needs More Mormons

  • Thanks, from a dad with a devoted wife and two kiddies.

  • Aman!

  • God bless you Elder Holland. I am not a Mormon but your Saviour and my Saviour is the same Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be His Holy Name. This is a beautiful and inspirational video

  • good things to come in 2012

  • Aman

  • i saw this video in the "videos being watched now", and watched it, but i don't really see anything, but after all, im an evolutionist.

  • I LOVE this video!!! it's so touching!!!

  • "Help thou mine unbelief..."

  • im glad i saw this, im a christian and this help me today, this is something that will help a lot of people, it doesnt matter what you are religion wise but in the end everyone is a good person. everyone will get a good day and a bad.it doesnt matter.

  • Little tears are streaming down my face.  I know this is true.

  • ESSA MENSAGEM DEVE SER REALMENTE LINDO MESMO NÃO ENTENDENDO O IDIOMA MAS SINTO UMA EMOÇÃO DIFERENTE!GOSTARIA QUE TIVESSE EM PORTUGUES;CONHEÇO ALGUNS DA IGREJA E SEI O QUANTO É SERIA A IGREJA.

  • Wow .. who would have known I'd come across this today on Youtube's front page. With a message like this, its hard not to share it with all my friends, believer or not, on Facebook. May the Lord bless us all each and everyday till the day he brings us home. Till then, Amen!

    ... and thank you so MUCH for sharing this video. : )

  • I havent lost faith in my religious beliefs, but i have all but completely lost my hope for humanity.

  • I'm not a religious person, but that was quite moving.

  • That was beautiful. I love how I always feel so warm and tingley when I watch these videos.

  • <--- What a wonderful message for our families. Thank you!

  • Such a nice story (:

  • I think this is fantastic. Definite favourite.

  • So what happened to the man, the car and the family?

  • @ylw here is a link about him go to

    newsroom.lds.org/ldsnewsroom/e­ng/background-information/lead­er-biographies/elder-jeffrey-r­-holland

  • @ylw The man telling the story, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, did make it to graduate school and had a very successful career, raised three wonderful children with his wife Pat, and eventually became president of Brigham Young University before being called as an Apostle, which is what he spends all his time doing now. Yes, there were definitely better times ahead, and his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is what gave him faith and hope as a young father facing difficulties.

  • These last few months have been traumatic and heartwrenching for me. I at times have raised my eyes to Heaven and asked "When will it end??" This morning was another hard experience, but just after it occurred I saw this video and it truly lifted my heart and has given me strength to move forward. I know that things will be ok and that happiness is to come. This has been such an inspiring message!

  • Great business mentality

  • Wow, This....this is just grand, It hits me deep in my heart. Makes me think about me and my girlfriend who I want to grow old with. Makes me want to cry at the same time.

  • I also really needed to hear this message. The video just popped up on my screen. I've been so discouraged I have almost given up. This gives me a glimmer of hope. Thank you.

  • what a beautiful message. thanks for the post

  • I'm a Muslim also, and this is one of the best videos out there, I love Jesus Christ allot but i also think that No matter whats your Religion just Help others and like they said in this video never give your hopes. Think of it as if life is a game just play by the rules and good things will come :) -Happy life for my fellow brothers and sister from your -Muslim brother -Dave S. :)

  • Wow. I cried. I felt the spirit so strong on me. So happy im part of this church. Beause this man is right. Our suffering will be over soon. We just have to keep trying.

  • This is such a good video! I'm happy to have faith in good things to come because of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

  • A message that is desperately needed for our day. There is always hope when you turn to God.

  • My life was a struggle with my personal issuesand depression. Growing up with money I still was very un-happy with my life. I could never understand why I was diffrent than most humans, but I never gave up and that was my key to happiness. After I joined the mormon church and put my trust in Jesus Christ years ago. I have not been depressed since about the way god made me.

  • This made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I sent it to my dad in an email because our family is facing trials too, and I just wanted to remind my wonderful dad that "good things WILL come!" Love it so much. God will take care of you.

  • WATCH ME!

  • Thank you for this!!!!

  • Mmmmk

  • Excellent vid

  • I dont belive in god.....but this was a good speech. I just cut the last 20 seconds....´cause the rest was beautiful

  • Thanks for posting, Its really a great message.. a blessing to all who will understand it, I can feel the spirit in this vid, Its an answer to my prayers.. thanks so much I'm glad I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints..

  • Well this was very inspiring and yes i believe this is so, i like to say good things come to those who wait and deserve them and for the most part this has come true to me

  • I don't think it matters what "Religion" you base your belief in, it's just about knowing that there is something better ahead. On that, you can count!!

  • @latindude626 why did you put religion into quotes?

  • what is the religion

  • @Silverayleight It's the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS for short). People usually call it the Mormon Church.

  • @Silverayleight just Christianity in in general

  • @Silverayleight The Religion is called: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. But also simply known as Mormons, becuase of the second book they study alongside the Bible: The Book of Mormon.

    ^.^

  • @Silverayleight The religion is Called The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. People usually refer to us as Mormons which you have probably heard before. You can visit our churches website at lds.org if you wish to know more. There is alot of information there.

  • @Silverayleight Mormonism

  • @Silverayleight The man speaking is Elder Jeffrey Holland, an apostle and leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, or the Mormon church

  • @Silverayleight The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

  • @Silverayleight The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. lds.org

  • ive had no idea what i am gonna do about my life or how it can get better..our water has been shut off and we have no money and we have to go to the shelter..and i saw this last night..on my husbands facebook and it rarely shows up...this is just what i needed..is the lord...thank you very much..

  • @jesper84070 (: Amen.

  • @jesper84070 I will be praying for you and your family. I pray that you find peace in Christ Jesus alone.

  • @TackleboxMinistries, Jesus is the way, the only way to salvation; this we know. If you love Him, why would you turn away those He sends to help you learn more about Him or to bless your life in other ways?  By their fruits ye shall know them, my friend. Don't limit yourself in your quest to learn more about and follow Him.

  • Wow... this is very powerful... thank u for posting it... it made my day way better

  • really touched me this morning.  Very encouraging.

  • Thanks for posting great message.

  • It makes me weep every time I watch it, just as it did when I saw it during conference.

  • this is beautiful.

  • Hmm, it this about Jesus Christ, or about Mormonism?
