Wow totally awesome amazing speech. It was very uplifting and inspiring listening to this wonderful messenger of our Lord Jesus Christ. No coincidence indeed, it's all part of our Heavenly Father's great plan for us. Wow it's wonderful to know that Heaven is cheering us on today, tomorrow, and forever.

It is such a blessing to belong to a wonderful family of saints. My journey at BYU-Pathway could never have began without the uplifting, encouraging words from such leadership. So, Elder C. Shane Reese, I will keep loving, I will keep trying, I will keep trusting, I will keep believing, I will keep growing, one step at a time. Thank you very much.

Great talk! I have never attended BYU but my father did. I am hoping to send my children to BYU and attend one day in the future. I love these BYU speeches and I feel the spirit each time. Thanks for sharing these on Youtube so I can enjoy them during my work day.

So first thing this morning YouTube suggests a short video about a WWII US Army soldier named Benner Hall who was trying to shoot a fleeing German soldier and both rifles he used jammed unexpectedly. When he told the 16 year old German soldier how he was an Arizona cowboy that was an excellent marksman, the young German boy told him that his best friend was an Arizona LDS missionary that taught him the gospel. Sgt Hall was LDS also. No coincidence. Later today YouTube suggested this video to me. Again no coincidence. None whatever.

[TBIhope]

Is he the new president of BYU? I don’t follow BYU news. This was a good talk!

[AlphaeusOmegus]

Be it unto me according to the word. And it happened even as he spake.

A coincidence is a small miracle in which God chooses to remain anonymous
