My mission president loved to incorporate media into our zone conferences. He was always prepared with a large projector screen and speakers in order to create the optimal atmosphere, to catch the Spirit of the message. He typically did a great job at it too.
Smaller meetings were held all over the mission. From district meetings to leadership councils, groups of missionaries would gather together to hear the good word and determine how to share it more effectively with others. One such meeting was retold by a sister missionary I was close to.
She was in the leadership of the mission and was able to meet with President and the other leaders every transfer in leadership council. Later she told me of the experience she had had while in their meeting. President had showed them this mormon message and the Spirit had been so strong that the whole room had been changed. One of the other sisters asked, in humility, "Is this how Heaven will feel?"
The zone conference following this story, President showed us this same clip. My life too has forever been changed. This message defines the mission experience, the lowest of lows we feel and the redeeming highs that come only in and through the Savior of the World, Jesus Christ, as we strive to help His children home.
I hope it means the same to whomever else is privileged to watch it. I love my Savior. My Lord. My God. He is my hope in the future and my gratitude for the present. My life I willingly give to Him, as He has done for me.
"Oh how sweet the sentence is, I know that my Redeemer lives."
