Years ago my non-member fellow faculty member turned on TV and accidentally chose "Mormon" Conference. Her own parents had come from Germany and this touched her.

Pres. Monson had the gift of Charity - the pure love of Christ.

I've heard this story before, still makes me cry. Love our neighbor like the Savior loves us!!

I am sitting here crying about how much I wished that everyone would be like this to all around us whether member's or not. What a powerful testimony President Monson gave with just this one example of how a ward pulled together to help the least of one of their future members who had suffered so much. Thank you for sharing this.

President Monson again. In this 'It's a wonderful life' true story, it is Bishop Monson. There is no duplicate of that apostle. Praise to the man who epitomizes the Savior's spiritual service. May Almighty God bless his memorable memorial memory.

This story sounds so much like something President Monson would do. He was ever so good at helping others!

"Mein brudder, mein brudder" is the title underwhich I have previously read this account. It is so beautiful...so stirring...so heart-tugging. Thank you again for publishing it.
