  • Varsity Scout troop in Lake Mead experiences disaster. Noe Perez slips beneath the brown water and doesn't surface. 25 minutes after disappearing he has not been revived. Noe is rushed to the hospital in a coma. Doctors say he will probably not survive. At best he will be a vegetable. A terrifying experience, for leaders scouts and bystanders. Red Vines can kill you. Great bedtime Stories. fall to sleep with Brother Merrill's soothing voice, while you feel the Lord's love for you.

    This is one of my early videos. This old dog is slowly learning. I omitted the fact the Noe's second MRI miraculously showed no brain damage. I add these type of corrections on screen now, but had to learn how. Thanks. I have started a Facebook Page: Sunshine for the Soul - Inspirational Stories.. It makes it easier to view and share Brother Merrill's Sunshine for the Soul. Here is a link: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559242679793

    I sooo enjoyed hearing about this event. It helps to restrengthen my faith. I also loved how Noe was sent to Hungary instead of a Spanish speaking mission. I am struggling right now with a similar issue in my life, and in fact was just praying a little while ago about that before I saw this video. Thank you brother Merrill, and may God bless you (i have no doubts about that).

    Br. Lance, please tell those who overcame their reluctance to share this miraculous story, just how much we latter day saints need to hear such things to prepare us for the trials ahead. There are verses in section 109 that teach us this principle of strengthening one another as preparation. Blessings upon all of you! ❤️

    Before anything else I want to thank everyone who shared their memories of this experience with me. I was not able to speak with everyone involved, but I spoke with many of them. Moroni Perez is an outstanding, faithful, good man as the whole Perez family is. I was certainly the black sheep in my family, so I consider it a good thing to have come to the straight and narrow, after wondering in my youth. I should probably apologize to the Perez family for my attempts a pronouncing everyone's names. I tried to get coaching a worked at getting them correct. But I sure I messed some of them up as an Angelo. But special thanks to Noe, Reuben, Esparza, Moroni, Adan, Aaron, Casey and Ryan for sharing this amazing experience with me.

    I kept massaging my forehead with anxiety as I listened to this video, reassuring myself it had a Happy Ending because its title has the word miracle in it. I'm sorry if I seem forward, but only after wading through so many Comments, I finally got the full story, (((that apparently there was no detected brain damage in the scan only two weeks later, though in the video it was mentioned that something was different about the sweet young man in high school : was it his even gREATer sweetness of temperament, after having visited the Other Side during his Near Death Experience?))) My request : in the "Description," please would you consider, maybe, adding a sentence or two describing the accidental omission while telling the story during the video, (about his brain tissue not showing any damage only 2 weeks later?) Because, it's SUCH a satisfying "Happy Ending" to the Miracle, much better than any "cherry on the top," and others who watch it may miss OUT on learning that beautiful detail by NOT reading so many Comments, to find it. By the way, the JOY, peace and Strength of Pure LOVE for each other as Cherished Family, just SHINING from the beautiful faces of the Perez family in the photo you show near the end of the video, were just BREATHTAKING for me. Thanks for giving us'all a chance to love on that WONDERFUL, shining FAMILY. May God keep blessing them... God bless us ALL, like that! And THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS MIRACLE with us, Brother Merrill...(...hope your name's spelled correctly...)...we sure love you for all the work you put into this channel for us.🌱💖😹😊

      Chris thank you for your comment and for watching . I research these stories at some length. This one was particularly challenging, as I knew some of the situation and the troop was from Ely NV. It took a long time to figure out Noe's name and then find a way to contact him and his family. I am sorry for the omission. I write my own scripts and try to not read any more than is absolutely necessary. My old brain sometimes spaces on details. This was one of my first videos. I record in 1 sitting and then edit. The entire process takes 30+ hours. I almost always seem to omit something so now I add banners on the bottom of the screen to add important information. I am unable to add anything I forgot on the first take without obvious edit seems if I try to record it later. It is not possible to change anything on the UA-cam system after it is posted. Thanks though for the comment. I will get the correcting comment pinned to the top. It was there once but I am not great with digital things so something may have happened.

      ​@@lancemerrill6390Thank you Brother Merrill, for your very kind reply explaining things so patiently to me... or, to us. Wow it sure is a lot of work to create these videos ; I had no idea the editing process takes so much time. Thank you for each thing you typed out in the Reply to educate me (or us) about various things you've got to deal with. We sure appreciate the absolutely BEAUTIFUL videos you create! I can honestly say your channel is my favorite UA-cam... (or ANY...) channel to watch ; your channel ALWAYS makes me feel optimistic and uplifted by the time each video is winding up. HOW many channels tell stories with Happy endings and about Happy families and Good hearted people? The vast majority of the human race are good, honest people ; I'm certain of this. So why don't entertainment media stories and other things REFLECT that Fact Of Life-? ; I never get it. Also, General Conference is great, but YOUR channel continuously has STORIES. I think we human beings are ALL like children at heart, in that we love to be told (especially true) STORIES, with almost all Happy Endings. Besides that, believing the scriptures' teachings automatically means believing that Life here, and hereafter, can BE stories with Happy Endings. Anyways, we'all just LOVE ya and your channel. Thank you deeply from our hearts once again for all you do to cheer and encourage us.
