For those of you that haven't seen yet, Elder Holland released on his facebook

page the video of Austen's story:

I invite you to watch this video of the experience I once shared about how the Christlike love of a friend helped one man overcome overwhelming grief in the wake of the death of his son. In your own circumstances, may you be God’s emissaries to His children, and love and care and pray for the people you are assigned. May you be vigilant in tending the flock of God in ways consistent with your circumstances.

It is a blessing to me that his story is helping people with their own struggles.

Elijah Bryant reached out to my 18 year old son and asked how he can help out. Very cool and much appreciated by our family.

We would have been wearing BYU gear throughout the video, but the film producers requested clothes with no logos.
