Tonight grandma had her "Empty Nesters" party. She had a single woman come and talk to us about her service missions. She mainly has spent her time in West Africa. She was so inspiring and motivating! In her presentation she gave us a few quotes. These quotes really touched me and I thought I would document them!
"All about us there are many who are in need of help and who are deserving of rescue. Our mission in life, as followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, must be a mission of saving. There are homeless, the hungry, the destitute."
President Gordon B. Hinkley
"Service softens, not burdens, our hearts. The gospel gentles us and tames us. Service keeps indolence at bay. Pure love keeps us from all manner of lasciviousness. Service keeps us from forgetting the Lord our God, because being among and serving our brothers and sisters reminds us that Father is ever there and is pleased when we serve, for while the recipients of our service are our neighbors, they are his children."
Neal A. Maxwell
