Mr. Nielson looks amazingly good! Does anyone else think he looks and sounds just like Elder Bednar? <BR/><BR/>Thanks for a lovely Thanksgiving Day gift. Your story has made me a better mother, sister, wife, daughter and friend.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes for your continued recovery.Sharonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11280186600740769308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-27954306341068897042008-12-02T13:51:00.000-07:002008-12-02T13:51:00.000-07:00Thank you, Christian.

We could hardly blame you if you wanted to keep to yourself and just focus on recovering with Stephanie.

You have no idea how both Stephanie's story and Courtney's blog have impacted how I view my life and faith.

Through your generous sharing of this story you all have made the world, well at least my part of the world, a better place. You have reminded me what is important in life and for that I am forever grateful. You and your family will continue to have my thoughts and prayers for as long as you need them.... and then some. <BR/>Enjoy one another, love another and be grateful that you have everyone back together again during this wonderful holiday season!Donna Foleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07398921138995672454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-54296640904277485782008-11-29T16:26:00.000-07:002008-11-29T16:26:00.000-07:00Thanks for the update and thanks for allowing the world into your precious lives. Your impact is far greater than you will ever know, I am sure of this. I am not LDS, in fact.. I am probably the exact opposite of Nie in almost every way.. but to me religion, politics.. it doesnt matter what YOU believe.. we are all one in the same regardless... Much love to your family... I will cuddle my bebe's a lot tighter because of you.<BR/>xo<BR/>MelissaMelissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02705083003347831794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-11521712486284547552008-11-29T10:28:00.000-07:002008-11-29T10:28:00.000-07:00That was awesome. I will wax spiritual here for a second and say that I felt the Spirit so strongly during Christian's video. It is such a huge testiment to me that the Lord does work in mysterious ways, and that the testimony and character building that has gone on because of the Nielson's accident will never be able to be measured in this world. They made a huge sacrifice for the growth of others. What heroes. Thanks for sharing that.Omgirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17193367587292656589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-65954029314719419622008-11-28T22:35:00.000-07:002008-11-28T22:35:00.000-07:00That was truly, truly heartwarming.

We have prayed for the Nielsens for months. We have all witnessed a true miracle across the world through our faith and prayers. Imagine what would happen if every soul on the earth had the faith and power to change the world. This is a testiment to all, to know and believe that within we can heal the wounded, strengthen the weak and experience all the blessings that Heavenly Father blesses us with. May we always remember; that miracles happen when we are dilligent and faithful. We love all of you! ALL of you!! Our prayers remain with each of you....as do our hearts.<BR/>Ps.

Such courage, such faith, such wonder in human beings. I do not know any of you (not in an earthly way anyway) but I know Cheryl who, in her sweet way, comes to visit me each month if we can find a mutual time. She told me about all of this, and I finally got the nerve to read it. Yes, moderate if you want to (lol) but you will know how much this has all meant to my spirit. Keep doing what you are doing already. Heavenly Father will only continue to bless all of you.<BR/>Donna HarringtonDonna Harringtonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12947560.post-84114387971152665592008-11-28T11:11:00.000-07:002008-11-28T11:11:00.000-07:00What a touching video!
