I love how real this story is. The kids seem like typical kids, not perfect, but learning. What a wonderful message.

This exemplifies true religion in action. This is the purpose of the Church, to lead us to Jesus, and we can look past the imperfections of its members and leaders and focus on the only One who can really heal us.

Kids should learn about the creator in a relatable way. This helps.

"I promise you, ... that of you will sincerely and persistently do the spiritual work needed to develop the crucial, spiritual skill of learning how to hear the whisperings of the Holy Ghost, you will have all the direction you will ever need in your life."
- President Russell M. Nelson

I'm not even LDS and I'm darn impressed with the whole production! The quality of the writing, animation, VO, and pacing were impeccable. Rather than fall into the same traps most other animated religious content, the piece managed to maintain reverence while also placing the characters in a good approximation of real life conflict.

My kids literally watch this over and over. They absolutely love it. 🙂

I love when the church releases cute cartoons like these. They relate so much better to kids. My kids love them and watch them over and over. Thank you 😊

From my eleven-year-old son, "That was amazing!" From my fifteen-year-old son, "I know that the Gospel, lived to its fullest, will bring you to Christ: the source of true healing." Out of the mouth of babes! This Church is so true, and I really appreciate all involved in the creation of this amazing video!

We need more of this circulating in the church. 💗
I would have loved this growing up. Anything normalising our church in the media would have been great.

Forgiving is key to follow the covenant path!

His prayer right before 4:00 hit a little to close to home and I laughed and cried a little!

3:52😂The reality of this is too relatable 🤦🏽‍♀️. I love this short story- please do more! They’re so fun to watch and the slight humour is so entertaining for the viewers😍. I teared up too. Felt a whole lot of emotions in just 7 minutes.

[Spoiler alert]

I just realized that, at the end, when the Blue Wizard card was shown (the Wizard of Infinite Healing), and the For the Strength of Youth pamphlet pages blew over it to show the Savior healing a man, it was implied that Jesus Christ is the real Wizard of Infinite Healing. I didn't catch that the first time! What a lovely subtle message within the video!

I really love this! I am so thankful that we have this light in our liver! I hope everyone will stay safe Durning this time. I will pray for anyone who needs it! ♥️

This is literally an answer to our prayers. We wanted more animated doctrinal videos for our young child. We were watching videos from other churches but I'm so happy that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has posted this. Please create more!
