Sister Freeman you are a spiritual giant! Every time I hear you teach about the gospel of Jesus Christ my testimony is strengthened. Thank you LDS Living for showcasing her message for me today!
The holy ghost told me to watch this. I leave my family behind tomorrow to find work in another state and was very worried. This video reminded me to trust in the lord. Thanks
Your fireside saved me today!!! I feel like i was completely guided to this. Ive never watched one of these before and didn't even know they existed. Thank you for being who you are!
What a great story. I still would have thought of 100 things to do to keep the boys occupied for a few hours and not risk frostbite considering children were sent into the cold snow unprepared for a hike to begin with. Your troubles started because the adults made bad decisions. Luckily you kept your feet.
What a fabulous story! And I want you to know, Emily Belle Freeman, I heard the story about your diabetic son on another video earlier today. I am a physician who developed type I diabetes at age 51. Now I’m nearing 70. Notwithstanding the age difference, I know exactly how you must have felt and how your son must have felt when that diagnosis was made. I don’t know much about either of you now, but I want you to know things will work out. I know you know that already. Thanks for being who you are and doing what you do.
Love these fireside chats! Relying on Father and Heaven and putting trust in Him is MUCH safer than trusting in the arm of flesh. We MUST have faith to act and follow the Savior, Jesus Christ and His chosen servants. :) . Thanks for sharing.
The beginning of watching this I was thinking... "Why haven't you turned back?! Frost bite is a real danger! You shouldn't be continuing up the mountain!" Glad I continued watching. Seems like a real life example of how much easier life is when you continue to push through. You could have turned back, but it would have been so much harder if you had. Just like other challenges in life, people will turn back before they can finish just to look back and think "I wish I would have finished what I started! Look how much easier things would be right now if I would have just finished instead of giving up because the task seemed to hard."
I have loved these 5 minute firesides. They’re so uplifting, they’ve made this Christmas season more fun, more spiritual and more enlightening. Thank you to everyone who blessed us with these firesides.
Thank you for reminding us that the Lord is aware of our needs and helps us overcome and/or push through challenges. One thing I would like to add is that we still must do our part to be prepared. Moses and the Children of Israel had supplies and had the Arc and Covenant. When they crossed the Red Sea, they already had those things that they would need to have with them once they crossed over to other side of Sea. Just because people have had experience with camping or with an organization that is supposed to help you be prepared, doesn't mean you don't have to be prepared ahead time for a new journey or activity. Please be smart and do your part to be prepared and God will help you with the rest.
i love this sweetie i went to behavioral health at the hospital recently and i knw it was the best thing for me but it took a lot of faith for me to go get help ..i agree with you. love your message. thank you.
Emily, this is Melanie McRoberts, used to be Haymond. I used to do your hair. I still wish I did your hair because I missed talking to you sooo much! But your hair is beautiful! Loved this fireside!
I loved this. I too was thinking why didn't you turn back earlier. It's nice to be reminded that God is watching over us. Very comforting message in this sometimes crazy world in which we live.
Can someone explain to me why she could not have stopped at the 45 minute mark and used a trash bag to slide from that point? I really like the message though!
I thought about that too but she said that the principal during that time was talking about the trees here and there. So the spot on top of the mountain is the perfect spot to slide.
Kat Bos I think the kid showed up in tennis shoes since it was a class trip. It was dads who were chaperones and scouts-but not necessarily that kid’s dad. Maybe they didn’t notice his feet or weren’t aware of the amount of snow up there before they left.

Thank you sister Freeman. We love your son Josh, he was a great missionary in Georgia.
Thank you for reminding me of something I already knew.
This is such a beautiful analogy about the Savior!

This fireside answered a burning prayer that I had fasted for this last week. Thank you.
Thank you for such a powerful picture of God being with me!
Awesome, Emily Bell Freeman! That was great and very helpful now!

Thank you for sharing this. Such peace comes in understanding That god knows the best way and we need to trust him Proverbs 3:5-6
Wonderful example.

Good 5 minute fireside. I was dubious but made myself stop and see. I’m glad I did.
Hello! Are you a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-days Saints?
the people who give her thumbs down may not be religious!!! i love it!

Hello! Are you a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-days Saints?
God never shows up!
God knows who we are he knows the way up

Walk with Jesus every moment. Don't wait until you're in trouble. Take Him with you everywhere. Jesus is God in the flesh.

Why would Boy Scout adult men have kids wear tennis shoes to climb a mountain AND walk in snow. It’s frost bite and an accident waiting to happen.
Kat Bos I think the kid showed up in tennis shoes since it was a class trip. It was dads who were chaperones and scouts-but not necessarily that kid’s dad. Maybe they didn’t notice his feet or weren’t aware of the amount of snow up there before they left.
FYI, Joseph Smith has 30+ wives and he did not translate the Book of Mormon.
