This is my Grandpa Larry Jensen... it’s beautiful seeing others appreciate him as much as I do. He has the biggest heart of any man I’ve ever known. I feel so honored to be named after him. James Larry Kirkham. Seeing all these kind comments brought me to tears.

This is the same Mr. Jensen that gave me hope! I struggled with Math Drills and felt I was stupid, then Mr. Jensen gave me an opportunity to steady Math on my own away from distraction and not have to do the Math Drills. Through this, I whizzed through the Math curriculum and discovered I liked math and I was smart. This moment has affected my whole life and is one of the moments that inspired me to go back to college after I had all my kids and earn a teaching degree in Elementary Education. THANK YOU, Mr. Jensen!! You are an inspiration as a human being and as a teacher! I hope I will be able to touch lives as you did!

This church has helped me alot.

I was praying really hard today for help. Started slipping into allowing despair to engulf me. Then this video came up in my notifications when I finished. Heavenly Father really does listen to prayers, and he answers and cares. Thank you for making and posting this video.

As a teacher, I have had students like, Clint, hopefully I have been that Mr. Jensen to some of them, by inspiring them to be their best.

What a beautiful story, Mr. Jensen had the wisdom of Solomon.

5:45 “I don’t think you’re a problem. I just think you’re a drummer.” How amazing for a kid to be told that, to be told they’re not a problem, but talented

Praises be to God Mr. Jensen had eyes to see because of Jesus Christ -Amen

I love it says the power of moments.

I had two hyper active boy in Sunday School primary class. They would like to crawl under the table, under the chairs, even climb up the windows. I put a limit at the windows. I told them they can wiggle all they want , but must listen to the lesson. I will tell them the Lesson stories they needed to learn. They wiggle to their heart’s content. I asked the questions and they knew all the answers. Since I had the flexibility I allowed them and they were learning. That’s what counts. Unconventional yes, but they were learning the gospel. That was more important to me then keeping them quiet.

Sometimes our efforts seem like a drop of water in the bucket. At least it is a drop of water in the bucket

Praise the lord

I kind of hate school trying to shove you into a box. When there su much more. And God has talents he gave us. And it's our job on earth to use them. And give glory to God for them. Thank you sir. For your testimony.

Your amazing, I am crying so hard. Your Teacher is a Teacher of Love, Kindness and gave you so much. Blessings always

I'm a Mr Jenson. The pandemic has locked me away. So I mentor to the missionaries, and those are working on Family History. I don't know everything, but I know a lot. And walk and talk to my Mr Jenson everyday...Jesus Christ.

Reminds me of my football coach in high school. Good teachers are worth more than their salary that’s for sure.

The church has helped me a lot

When I see this guy I can just think, “In our humble way!”

Thank you Clint! And thank you Mr. Jensen.

What a fantastic Story.

Hope always Thanks for sharing...❤

I love these stories put on here. They are so inspirational. And I'm so glad 1 teacher saw the good. It reminds me of the savior seeking out the one sheep that was lost.❤

I had major issues not keeping still during my childhood. My Father who was a guitarist, when I was a small child showed me a quarter beat on the kitchen table. They didn't have much money, but they bought me a drum set when I was 15. Over the next 32 years, drums have been so therapeutic to me. Clint's story is so important to me too.

Love this.

love listening to you Clint!

I still remember when you came to my 6th-grade assembly and talked about this. You have impacted a lot of people.

Thank you Clint! Wonderful message!

I really love stories like this. Just normal people, showing a little kindness, a little understanding, and changing lives in the process. May we all look for and find opportunities to do the same.

Clint, you’re my hero.

EXCELLENT!!!!

There's only a limited number of ways to express how much I like this, thumbs up and comment, so I'm going to like my own comment to squeeze in one more way. Lol oh and like other comments. All the ways.

I bought bouncy bands for the chair's legs for my classroom. There are a lot of twitchy kids! They become adults- my sister still bounces her leg! Thank you! Who knew? I will definitely share this!

Thank you SOOO much for helping us see with God's eyes!

Thank you, from all of the advocates of children! You are our hope and our reason for what we do. We just want you to see it too!

So glad I watched this. I feel helped, affirmed, and lifted up again. I know I am not perfect....but at the same time, I want to try. If it was impossible, it wouldn't be asked of us ❤

I had the chance to be in the same ward or stake with Clint. He is a giant of a spirit. Loved his role as Elder Kestler.

Wow! Thank you for this story!

Thank you, Clint, for sharing your story. As a fellow "drummer" who has struggled with many of the same things, I agree with your belief in moments that can truly make so much of a difference.

This is powerful. Such a great story.

I knew it! This guy, Clint, is the actor playing Elder Kestler in the movie Saturdays Warrior from 2016. Man, you're just straight fire! And gosh he played that role well. All other LDS's who sees this comment, go home and watch the movie, it's a real piece of latter day art.

Happy Thanksgiving Sisters, from my family to yours!! I love you all and am so grateful for each and every single one of you.

I love this. A friend of mine saw me tapping on things a lot as a 21 year old, and sold me his original drum set at a great price. He showed me how to set up the kit and how to hold the sticks. Then I taught myself how to play, just with the music in my head. I played out the sounds more slowly, until I could separate the different syncopations, and bring it up to speed. I did that over and over with different arrangements, until I had quite a repertoire. Then at that point I could just initiate whatever I wanted. Now I can play spontaneously and impromptu, having a sense for music that allows me to do so this way. I'm now 44 and I still love playing!

Thank you for sharing your story to the 🌍 The spirit is very 💪 with your message about Mr. Jensen. People will want to learn and become 💯

Mad respect Clint! Proud of you for making the video.

Thank you for sharing. I love this store

"I don't think you're a problem, I just think you're a drummer!" It's been a long time since I've laughed that hard, still laughing as I type this. Thank you for your uplifting and inspiring message, and for sharing how this moment affected your life in such a positive way. It should give all of us pause to think of how we use words and how we can positively influence others, even those who are thought of as being "problem children." Thank the Lord for people like Mr. Jensen.

What a great story and a great speaker!

I was so hard on my son simply because he behaves differently from his siblings. He is the kind of a child who can never sit the whole day in the house. Always skating, very goodin convincing his friends to bow to his demands. always in trouble for coming home late. Thank you I will now use that as an opportunity to see his potential.

I love this beautiful story, I hope that I can be a Mr Jensen for others ♥️.

Thank you. It gives me hope for my future.🥰

Clint is a wonderful inspirational speaker. I've seen him in person twice. Cried both times. He's great with kids. Have him come to your children's school and speak. It'll change those kids' lives forever! We need hope like this in the world, especially now. Thank you for sharing your story, Clint.

Beautiful beautiful story of HOPE, it made my day ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks Mr. Jensen!

What a great message!

Power of moments can change us.

"...I don't think you're a problem, you're a drummer...." 💕 A beautiful story about potential and worth, very well told!

Thank you for your great message especially this Holiday season. Be a Mr.Jensen in someone else's life.

THANKS!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful message! Thanks for sharing! 💕

I love this message! Thank you for sharing! ❤️

Whatever you say, Kesler. Seriously though, you're spot on man. Thank you. I need hope and have friends that need hope right now too. Moments are life.

Beautiful. 💗 Incredible story from an incredible storyteller. This made me cry. Sometimes hope is all we have, but in those times we learn that hope is enough.

This is exactly how all should behave. Instead of fault-finding, but rather exemplify the attributes of the Savior. I try to do exactly as the teacher because I know what it feels like to be mistreated for the simplest thing or for what others believe I did wrong. Kudos to those who act like Clint’s former teacher. Beautiful story.

I feel the love he must have for the teacher. Watching and observing a problem minus the person challenged. Help us appreciate the person and know how best we can help. I am really touched by the story. MR. JENSEN Good bless you.

Fantastic message

I love playing my drums. I love hearing from fellow drummers. This was awesome!!!!

Thank you for sharing your story. I was a wiggle worm in school until my 7th grade teacher showed me how to put my thoughts on paper.

thank you so much for sharing your story with the world. Our young son is very active and fidgety too. so we watched some drumming videos and before we knew it at the end of the night he was loving drumming . we are going to explore this and see if he may have a talent for it . This may be just what our family needed during covid to keep this active boy going without going stir crazy at home :)
