In this episode, Russell Osguthorpe takes us behind the scenes of his lifelong journey of faith. Growing up as President Hinckley's neighbor, Russell shares delightful stories about the prophet's down-to-earth nature, including a memorable moment when Hinckley asked his Secret Service agents to grab shovels and help in the garden. Russell recalls his missionary experiences in Tahiti—from having a rifle pointed at his head to returning decades later as a senior missionary. He speaks about his unexpected testimony at age 12 and the daily practice of scripture study that has sustained him since. The conversation takes a touching turn as Russell reveals his brother's 33-year absence from the church and the transformative reunion that followed. Through personal stories spanning generations, Russell illustrates why he believes: "I see His hand in my life every day."
