Today in Church I heard a profound statement by Brother Bob Hohman who has participated in our church’s efforts to help victims of the flooding in the St. Louis area of Fenton and Valley Park, both cities in my stake. Read more about the story here: Missionaries Help Protect Flooded Communities.
Brother Hohman said, in regards to sharing the gospel, “we must use our hearts, but we must also use our hands.”
This brother, with tears, then recounted his experience of the last week working beside our missionaries in yellow “Mormon Helping Hands” T -shirts. Because of the conspicuous yellow shirts, Brother Hohman was asked many times by community friends why the missionaries were there. He was able to say: “Because they care.”
Caring First -- that is how the Savior taught.
Then with more emotion this good brother said, “I wish everyday was Easter and everyday was Sunday.”
To commemorate Easter everyday, can we offer our hands "with" community friends?
In what ways have you been touched by working side by side with community friends?
How does this help you enjoy the fellowship of the community?
