This is wonderful. Reading the comments you included brought tears to my eyes. It is amazing to think of how much more efficiently the work of the Lord can be carried out through tools like this! It would be really interesting to see the geographical location of the commenters and the responders to them--I imagine there is the tiniest chance that those people would ever have met in real life. Yet the power of their testimonies is really felt! Awesome. Wow. This is wonderful.

And so that members without access to the 'net can use them too? The Church has hit on something here that is going to become very important, with billions of people coming online, these will become more prominent. By all means get them out in other languages too where that might help, I've seen many foreign languages on Youtube already.

Timely, topical videos give us a simple way to leverage the networks we already use (Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc) to share the gospel. These videos have been so successful because they're well-done, they feature powerful truth, and members are anxious for these opportunities. I also enjoy having the extra insight this blog provides. Keep up the good work! - David Larry,
