OPPORTUNITIES TO DO GOOD

This is a story about the trial of just one family, but hundreds of people of all ages were touched as they were able to help them through a particularly challenging time.

Think of the many people around you at school, home, church, work, your community, etc., that you can uplift or reach out to. Many of them, unlike the family in this video, are going through quiet, private struggles of their own and it is only through your prayers and inspiration that you can be led to them.

There is so much joy and happiness that comes from being able to reach someone, especially one who silently and desperately needs you...much more joy and happiness than Pinterest or Instagram can ever offer!  I have already had some tender experiences as I have been focusing specifically on serving others during this camp challenge. I hope that as you participate in this challenge you have been (and will be) inspired as to things that you can do and who to do them for.  It can be as simple as stepping outside of your comfort zone to sit by someone different each week at church or on the bus.  Small, yet significant and considerable for someone else who might need to feel they are special and cared about. 

"I tell you these things....that you may learn that when you are in the service of your fellow beings you are only in the service of your God" (Mosiah 2:17).  As you do these things you will be able to work mighty miracles in the lives of others, including your own.
