A Helping Hand of Service

I love helping people! I also love when people help me or my family. Little acts of kindness and service make the world not only a better place, but a happier one as well. The Bible and the Book of Mormon teach that service to your neighbors and friends is serving God. In Matthew 25:40 it reads "And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have ^adone it unto one of the ^bleast of these my ^cbrethren, ye have done it unto me." And in Mosiah 2:17 it reads "And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn ^awisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the ^bservice of your ^cfellow beings ye are only in the service of your God." I know that these scriptures are true. This morning my companion and I got to go mow a guy's lawn that couldn't do it by himself because he recently hurt is knee. It felt so good being able to help somebody in need. As you may know, my mom was in an accident a little while ago. There has been so many people that have helped out my family. From bringing them meals to eat, to sitting at my mom's bedside, to doing fundraising carnivals. I am so thankful for all of this. It brings me so much joy. I know this is all done because of the gospel of Jesus Christ and what it teaches. I know that providing service to others is really providing service to God. I am so thankful that I am serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and able to provide service for people each and everyday. It brings a great spirit. I hope that we all can find ways to help others.
