Cool story!  Reminds me of the Amish folks' story told here: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/liahona/2007/05/the-healing-power-of-forgiveness?lang=eng

Or Daryl Davis, the black guy who befriends KKK members, and loves them so hard they give up their robes:  https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/documentary-about-black-man-s-attempt-befriend-ku-klux-klan-n534006

Or Bryan Hall, who buddied up to a regular General Conference protester: https://www.ldsliving.com/how-a-mormon-and-a-conference-protester-became-unlikely-friends/s/75428

Well-behaved (yes, especially those who with abundant love for the difficult ones) can win converts to almost any faith tradition. It takes a compelling God to keep 'em though--especially when those less abundant in love make sideways comments. 😬

Um, it is just an ad for the film basically. It does not tell us what happened.

They said enough if you were reading carefully.
