In this video, meet Wilford, a devoted Mormon missionary who lived every day guided by the teachings of the LDS Church. From childhood, he absorbed every story, every lesson, and the words of the Book of Mormon as if they were nourishment for his soul. His mission work was not a duty but a calling, a source of joy and purpose that made every hardship feel like a crown of honor. Walking door to door, sharing the restored gospel, he believed he was bringing light to dark places.

One hot afternoon, while enjoying a rare moment of rest in a river, everything changed. A sudden, violent current pulled him under, his body weighed down, breath ragged, and vision fading into darkness. In that instant, Wilford’s life as he knew it ended — and a Near-Death Experience (NDE) began.

He shares his NDE in full, revealing the moment he saw Jesus and the astonishing truth Jesus revealed, transforming his understanding of faith, purpose, and the divine forever.
