I'm humbled, amazed, and very grateful!

Today seemed to be a normal Sunday where church callings and keeping the Sabbath Day holy are the priority of the day. The only thing that has made the day a little sad is that Alan is still very sick and getting frustrated that he is not feeling better sooner!!

Today is also Pioneer Day, which is a church holiday that celebrates and remembers the sacrifices, faith and determination to get to a place that we could worship as our hearts dictated, made possible by our forefathers. Our Sacrament meeting was a really beautiful celebration of our pioneers and the musical numbers really helped everyone feel the spirit and feel our Saviors love.

But tonight the most amazing, humbling thing happened. Late tonight I heard the doorbell ring and we were surprised because we were not expecting anyone, especially this late at night. I cautiously opened the door to find an envelope stuck to our door. I looked around and no one was there. I took the envelope into Alan and we opened it and were so stunned at what we saw. Someone knowing Alan has been unemployed left an envelope with money on our door. Unbelievable!! Who could afford to do such a thing? But your gift is a gift of love and we are so appreciative to whom ever you are! We have given thanks to our Heavenly Father for someone who would be so kind! I pray that you will receive many blessings for your kindness!!

Thank you! I feel my Saviors love through you! Thank you! So humbled to be a better person!
