In the darkest time of My families existance, about 10 years ago. Fast offering is how we ate for 6 months. Many don't understand the blessing it is in the lives of the needy. It's a miracle completely.

Please God help to be like you and be always able to give with full, good heart and take care of the needy.Amen

So my grandparents and I don't go to church much but we try to help still. We have had to go to the Bishop's store house to get food. But im glad that this month on the 15th i get to go help out at the bishop's storehouse. Which makes me happy

Having been through my dad being laid off multiple times, this resonates with me. My parents have always been good about paying tithing and fast offerings, and I remember being scared. One night I was praying, and my heart felt full. I knew we were going to be okay. I believe my family was blessed because we tried to obey all the commandments, including paying tithes and offerings. I remember that even when we weren't doing so well financially, we would still pay tithes and offerings.

We grew up poor but my folks always paid their tithes and offerings. Even though we had rough times in those early days we persevered. My dad quietly told me when I came home from the Great Northern States Mission, that they had never been as well off financially. The setting of that great example turned all of us into full tithe payers. My folks are gone now but there influence is strongly with us.

One of the reasons my father joined the Church while stationed in Utah during World War II was to see the Church's system of caring for others. He never failed to wake up his two sons for service projects or work on Church farms.

I live around this area, and I was freaking out because I knew almost every location they showed. But that is not all I focused on of course, this video shared a really powerful message and really focused on how we have a lot of trials in life and how fast offerings truly help.They sure do help my family a lot, and I am thankful for that :)

[OrangeOrangeTrees]

Wow really well done. Realistic I felt, too

This is very special and important. I've been in this position in my life and I'm very grateful for all the care love and support our church has given us.
I only wish this was the same in Mexico.
Isn't our church supposed to be the same everywhere?
In Mexico they can't help you with jobs,
It's not even considered a priority.
Also they can't help with food.
The best they can do is refer you to a member that might have a business.
That's all.
I know I don't like saying these things but now that I've seen how it is in Mexico I can't help but wonder if these videos are even seen by members in Mexico or these principal even exist for people there.
Yes they do fast and they do give fast offerings and yes there are people who have money they are not all poor people.
I know as I said before I don't like saying these things and I know that the bissnes of fast offerings and what the bishop and stake dose with it is privet.
But, since I've had quite a lot experiences in Mexico and friends and family who live there, well, I'll just share what has been happening there.
First off like I said I know it's strictly privet to know where the fast offerings are going but here's what happened.
Members have found that in one ward they poketed the money. Now in another ward there is a new bishop and stake presidency but with a problem, the bishop and the stake president are both according with each other and they have been using the money as they see it be, they been giving and promising the money to friends of the Bishops.
The secretary left his position because he couldn't stand the hypocrisy and the way they handle the money so carelessly.
Also the activities and gatherings are poorly done for the same reason they don't use the money for the members.
The members have been scarcely helped.
A few people know about what's been going on but to many it's already obvious what's going on.
Now not many members are going to those wards on Sunday.
They used to be many members going but then those new bishops came.
Sorry for the long comment, I just felt happy when I saw this video but then I felt sad.
