I Love You

My office is inside my bosses house so I know the family quite well. Two of the daughters, who tend to argue with each other occasionally, were super nice to each other that day. They came into the office where I was working and started chatting with me. They were really happy and then one of them said, "Tyson, I love you."

I was having a really tough day and it changed from there. It was so sweet and it picked me right up.

I love you all. God bless!

Miracle At Wells Fargo

A kid in my ward works as a loan officer. He was working with one lady, who is in debt and struggling to get by, when she started sobbing. She felt loss and little hope about the future because of her debt. Another lady noticed this and came up to her and comforted her. She then pulled out her check book and asked, how much do you owe? She wrote a check and her debt was wiped clean.

You Got 2, Why Not Share?

I went to lunch with a few sales associates and learned about one of them, Ellis. He donated his kidney to his dad. They were a near perfect blood match. When the blood isn't a perfect match the probability of the body taking the organ is lower. The fathers new kidney will extend his life about 10 years. Before the transplant, Ellis's father wasn't very healthy. Even with dialysis, he didn't have much energy and his skin had a yellow color. Immediately after the transplant, he felt like a new man. It took a few months for Ellis to recover. His gift of life won't slow him down. His mom taught him well. Share.

Catch That Dog

We were heading off to go eat at Fuddruckers and Jamon was gone. Then we saw him down the street helping a kid catch a dog. That was really nice. Especially because we all just got cleaned up and dogs always smell bad, slobber, and are dirty. Jamon picked it up and put it in the jeep and took it to the kids house.

Stopped to Help?

Has anyone ever stopped to see if someone needed help? Please record your story in the comments section. Ammon left a few of his experiences in the Post comments, "No Gas=No Go"

Adopt-a-Grandparent

Ammon and a group of friends has just shown the world some good. They helped organize and put on a community event called Adopt-a-Grandparent. There is a brief description on this site. If you look carefully, you can see Ammon and Leslie in the video.

The video shows pretty much what adopt-a-grandparent is. Basically, young adults gather with elderly to play games and dance. Not many visitors come to retirement homes so any type of visit is very welcome. I bet this night was a hit. Good job!

No Gas = No Go

I was driving home when I saw a red pickup, hood up, on the side of the freeway. I stopped and asked if he needed help. As I pulled up, he was up on the landscape under a tree sitting and waiting. I asked if he needed help and he said, "I ran out of gas and I don't have a phone." I asked if anyone was coming to get him and he said no. This poor man, about 50, was just waiting for something to happen. He had no plan in action other than hoping that someone would stop. I told him to hop in my jeep and we will go get some gas. He was scared to leave his vehicle because it could get impounded; it happened to him last time. So off I went to the nearest gas station and I brought back some gas. He paid for the gas and container and he offered me more money which I declined. He misread his gas meter and odometer thinking he had more gas than he did. He only had 1.5 miles to go.

"My brothers and sisters, we are surrounded by those in need of our attention, our encouragement, our support, our comfort, our kindness—be they family members, friends, acquaintances, or strangers. We are the Lord’s hands here upon the earth, with the mandate to serve and to lift His children. He is dependent upon each of us." President Thomas S Monson What Have I Done for Someone Today?
