Many moons ago during my college days at BYU I was blessed to meet and work with Gail Halvorsen - he was my Stake President (Church leader) and a dear man!! I will never forget one of his talks sharing the message that out of small things proceedeth that which is great (D&C 64: 33) recounting his story of the famous Candy Drop Operation so long ago. I share his story of hope and gratitude with my students by reading MERCEDES and the CHOCOLATE PILOT whenever I have the opportunity. Look for the book - its delightful!! Please take a moment to watch this clip. It is from the Mormon Tabernacle Choirs Christmas Concert a few years ago when they honored him. I sobbed when I saw it -so amazing!! President Halvorsen is featured in the new Meet the Mormons movie coming out soon. I will post that link below, too. https://youtube/watch?v=_vR2wgq0ZMc
