I have passed 8 kidney stones. They had to be surgically removed. I am allergic to narcotics, so I wasn't even able to depend on them. My stomes were 8mm and got stuck.. I really do feel your pain. And I thought that was what your problem was. Yes, I'd rather be in labor! I really love your testimony! We WILL be singing praises to our Savior and Heavenly Father!
I’m so glad you’re doing well now David! Be careful though, those evangelists are going to say that you’re cursed for joining the church forgetting that hardships happen too ALL people 🤭🤣 “the greater the test, the greater the honor” I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me”
So glad you are feeling better. Earlier you said North Ogden and you said Ogden today. I guess it doesn’t matter but we would love have you come visit us at the Ray Cabin in Eden just through the Ogden Canyon or North Ogden Divide. Both my wife and I are converts and love the restored gospel. You are loved and many blessings to you. reach out to us if you have time David. Blessings always
Dear David I am so glad you did not have to go to Australia ! And I'm happy that you are in Ogden. Just up the road from me, down here in Layton. Like my distant cousin, and your Favorite Apostle, Jeffrey R Holland said, when he was in the hospital. Quote : I think , I was the most prayed for person, with my name on every Temple Prayer Roll, in the world. I think your name would have been the Same, on every prayer roll, in the World. Temple Prayer Rolls Work ! You've had a blessing , and a answer to prayer ! Hurrah for Temples ! and Hurrah for Israel ! David Alexander is alive, and well, Delighting in Truth ... and Still ... Denouncing Deception , fighting the good fight ! Attaboy ! Way to go !
I landed in hospital with a kidney infection a couple of years ago. Very sharp pain! I sympathise. Yes, it was as intense pain on par with labour pains! I've been left with small kidney stones and damaged kidneys. I'm so glad your ordeal has been resolved without long-distance health care! Bless you and your future health. Wishing you happiness in your new home. 😊
Those stones are unreal. My husband has had a few. I have never seen him in pain like that! So happy that you have found relief, and are back and well. Good luck in the next part of your journey. ❤
Keep drinking lots of water. Wow, packing and moving with a kidney stone is crazy painful. Dealing with the medical system can be such a challenge. You did well!!! So happy that you are back on track! And I will repeat, keep drinking lots of water!❤
Hi David, I have had kidney stones for the past several years, and have found that it helps to flush them out by drinking a decent amount of water and more importantly, I take a vitamin B tablet (or a multi-vitamin) at night, which keeps the stones from getting larger and forming, and so I never have a problem with them lately. May God continue to bless you brother.
Btw Alissa Munn who shared her testimony is the one who married my brother and lived with us . My mom taught her the gospel . Her twin sister joined too. My sisters good friend joined too after my mom taught her the gospel . So many people love my mom . She had away. About her that touched people . Beautiful inside and out . They all are still active . She passed away at only 64 . Still has wonderful memories on so many people .
🎵"Salvador se tu mi sol, rayos de paz tras mi probación; tus manos van sosteniendome, en mi sentir mis penas se van, ángeles van tras tu sostén oh majestad de Israel.🎵, Bendiciones y salud para usted hermano David, saludos desde Lima Perú, viendo sus vídeos con mi esposa, regoncijandonos en comunión con los Santos de los últimos Días.
Thanks, Dale! Yes...a kidney stone puts a whole new perspective on the old saying, "This too shall pass"...with which we face life's deep tests....I am so glad to be back fully functional again! Praise our Heavenly Father for His mercy!
Dear David I am so glad you did not have to go to Australia. I'm glad to know you are in Ogden . That makes me feel even better, knowing that you are just up the road from me, down here in Layton Utah! Like your favorite Apostle and my distant cousin, Jeffrey R Holland said when he was in the . He said, I must have being the most prayed for person, with my name on every temples prayer around the world . I think your name was the Same on every prayer roll. Temple Prayer rolls work ! It was a blessing an answer to prayer. Hurrah for Israel , David is still alive and fighting the good fight!
Hooray for Israel, David Alexander is alive and well, Delighting in the Truth, and Still Denouncing Deception ! P.S. to Reduce the Chance of Reoccurrence of kidney stone, Always Remember to Drink Extra Water !
"I do know that whosoever shall put their trust in God shall be supported in their trials, and their troubles, and their afflictions, and shall be lifted up at the last day." Alma 36:3 I know that God loves us. We will all experience suffering and afflictions. They can floor us--but they can be ennobling and even exalting experiences if we will put our trust in God as His Beloved Son did. I love you brother, and I know that God loves us, come what may.
My Mother had kidney stones, my Brother, and my late husband had kidney stones they are painful. I have never had them. I eat lots of pumpkin seeds. They help as well as ACV . Glad you passed it. It is probably worse than child labor. Glad you are doing well.
One of my favorite scriptures on Faith's connection to suffering is in Hebrews 11:39-40. There is a Joseph Smith Translation for these verses and it reads thus: "And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better things for them through their sufferings, for without sufferings they could not be made perfect." These trials are there for you to pour out your soul and faith to Heavenly Father and receive additional grace through Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 1:7: "That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ." Love you David, keep up the good work and may your Faith stay unshaken until that glorious day.
On a side note, my wife has dealt with kidney stones on and off her whole life. Any time she has them it is literally rolling around on the floor in the bathroom until it passes and sometimes having medical assistance in the ER, definitely one of the worst pains in existence. Unfortunately for her her stones were always just barely below the size required for surgery so she always has had to wait for them to painfully pass. Diet changes help to avoid them. She has said many times she prefers having babies over kidney stones, very happy you got through the worst of it already!
Ohhhh David!!! Thou hast walked through the valley of kidney stones and come out the other side in victory and with your sense of humor still intact! I'm so sorry you went through that! ❤
Thank heaven for preisthood Blessings and those inspired by the lord to help us. Prayers Answered David Praise the Lord from whom all blessings Flow! Michael I ll be calling you July 3 am to see if we can meet up for dinner(:
With Great Blessings come great trials at times. So True David very insightful we take up our cross in following the Savior where great test is great Honor! Truth clearly Spoken

Glad you are doing better. I Google image searched kidney stones when in nursing school many years ago. They look more like little torture devices rather than stones.
I’ve had three kidney stones. Two of them had to be removed surgically. I’ve also given birth to five children, and I would much rather give birth to five more children than to have another kidney stone. They are the worst ever and most excruciating pain I’ve ever felt.
Kidney stone?? Yikes Never had one that I know of and hope I never do. But now that it's over, David.... What did the kidney stones say to the urine? YOU SHALL NOT PASS😆
Drink more water!!! I've had two kidney stones, the first was the worst and I went to hospital. There they gave me morphine I think, and next morning I caught stone when it came out! Such a relief!
David - try drinking lemon water every day to help prevent kidney stones in the future. Do your own research, but it will probably help. I personally do this: warm one cup of water in microwave one minute to which I pour from a bottle of lemon juice (Santa Cruz organic) a little more than a tsp. of lemon juice. Stir and enjoy. It has helped me. Hope it helps you.
Hello Brother David so happy you got over your kidney stone I had one I had to go and have an operation to have it removed, it felt like somebody's stabbing me right in the back with a hot ice pick. Your last video I really appreciate it seeing more about your background because I have a parallel experience similar to that and also I'm curious which part in Ogden are you living? I am in the 12th Street and Washington Boulevard area. So welcome to the Ogden area, I hope you enjoy living here and I'd love to someday maybe see you in the temple? Carry on Godspeed..... and also I really like your shirt the logo on your shirt my great-grandfather was a convert from Scotland in 1847 came here in one of the first handcart companies in 1856 he has a very unique story. His wife was pregnant and so she would fall behind and he would have to kind of fall behind the main body of the handcart company and then go back and find her in the dark and carry her back up to the camp so he covered the trail like almost three times and his wife gave birth over outside of Fort Bridger
VItammin K2 helps remove Calcium ( the main type of kidney stones) from soft tissues to the bones where it belongs. It is found in nature in fermented foods,
@@lyndawingo True shes in the NICU right now. Baby was 10.5 weeks premature. As a Convert in 2020 I've really come to value, and appreciate the significance of the day she was born in regards too our Temple Sealing, and Civil Marriage. I thought we were going to lose the Baby, but I was told to tell my Wife in the Blessing she had asked for. "Your Baby Will Live." Even more curious is the Still Small Voice told me to stop the first attempt, and go get Consecrated Oil, which I could not find so I consecrated some, and then prayed to The Lord asking him to Allow me to not Speak Falsely. And Our Baby Lived, and has been born so far with no serious complications. I'm truly Grateful.
I have been watching a RU-vid channel where a guy is reading the Book of Mormon for the first time. It is wonderful and he is talking to missionaries and even going to church. BUT, he doesn't come from a Christian background and has never heard any Bible stories either. Everything is new to him. When you do your videos, can you do it in a way that can teach from the Bible and Book of Mormon both, so people like this investigating brother can learn from both? Please have more focus on proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ and less focus on the haters, even as you respond to a criticism. Preaching the gospel from the Bible and Book of Mormon has a great effect will do a lot to debunk haters anyway. Thanks for your videos and best wishes to you.
The song about the Jews celebrating the drowning you need to reconsider. Yes, they celebrated and were chastened by God because the Egyptians were his children too! And God was mourning. So the Jews had to turn their celebration down. So although Michelle Stone is incorrect, she is still a daughter of God and he wants to repent and return to him.
Actually, Psalm 8:4,5 says just what I sang it says. The Hebrew word in that verse is, as Luther translates it, ELOHIM. The King James translators couldn't deal with the reality that it says we are only "a little lower than Elohim"....so they knowingly mistranslated it "angels". Sincerely, David
@@davidmalvinalexander that is interesting. I have a hard time with being just a little lower than Elohim. Joseph Smith said it would take eons of time to be like our Father in Heaven!
Michelle stone says she believes the Book of Mormon. And it teaches only one man to one woman. And no exceptions. It doesn’t say if God commands it . There are no exceptions . So yes she believes that Abraham Issac and Jacob were also evil and not commanded . Yet is she reads all the Book of Mormon words which I came across last week . The Book of Mormon talks about you won’t be exalted in the celestial kingdom as Abraham Issac and Jacob are . If you don’t repent . I wonder what she thinks of that . Evil men all exalted To A throne . Wonder if Michelle even knows the Book of Mormon mentions this .
First of all I've listened to most of Michelle's videos and have never heard her call Abraham, Issac or Jacob evil. And where in the Old Testament does it talk about Isaac practicing polygamy? Also where in the Book of Mormon does God command polygamy or even condone polygamy. It's called wickedness and abominations by Jacob and also when wicked King Noah practices it. And in Ether it says Riplakish "did not do that which was right in the sight of the Lord, for he did have many wives and concubines." I trust Joseph, Hyrum and Emma when they consistently preached against polygamy and said that it was evil!
@@tennisgirl57 king Noah is not an example. Of course what he did was wrong . There was no need and he killed prophets . Gezz. We are only talking about righteous prophets who were commanded to do it for a purpose and a reason . Not wicked people who did it . What is sad is we have people now trying to put down our brethren and leaders right now from the Book of Mormon . Saying it ends with fallen leaders or prophets . No it doesn’t . Mormon and Moroni were prophets to Eve end . We have no fallen prophets in the Book of Mormon . None nor ever was a fallen prophet not ever . Only false prophets. Michelle uses the Book of Mormon against our leaders who had wives die and remarried and has their second wives sealed . That is because they had never been sealed . I heard on ward radio Michelle say she is not married and seems bitter . Then I also heard she is married and to a bishop . Do you know ? I’m not wanting to listen to her anymore but just wondering if she is very bitter over a divorce . She is a very mixed up person . Seems she has young kids ?? So how she finds the time is beyond me . We need to pray for Michelle . She seems so bitter and so hurt .
@@lindamartinez7006 she is married, never divorced has 13 kids and used to be a huge advocate for polygamy. She has in the past spoken about polygamy being the higher law. She loves the gospel and the Book of Mormon. I have listened to what David has said about her and what she says and it hasn't been that accurate
