The Monster Storm and Many Yellow Vests

Here's a few items that caught my attention this week.  Many missionaries on the East coast are pitching in to clean up.  They're white shirts and ties have been exchanged for work clothes.  The following link will take you to a news story from the LDS newsroom with details. Click HERE. It's Good to know that although those on the east coast just experienced great adversity with the recent hurricane, in addition to other Faiths, Latter day Saints have risen to the cry for help. A key excerpt from the article: "In... Jon Carbone's home, volunteers helped strip damaged sheetrock from most of the basement. Carbone said he appreciated the group's willingness to help anyone in need. "Everybody's being helped by you people," he said. It's not just, "Hey, you're a Catholic, so I'm going to help you; you're Pentecostal, I'm going to help you.' No, you're a human being. You're going to help them all."

I just loved that last sentence. God loves all of his children, and there are many in need. So you see, it's not just missionaries that can give service right now... It's all of us.
