"I am confident it is the intention of each member of the Church to serve and to help those in need. At baptism we covenanted to “bear one another’s burdens, that they may be light.”
How many times has your heart been touched as you have witnessed the need of another? How often have you intended
to be the one to help? And yet how often has day-to-day living
interfered and you’ve left it for others to help, feeling that “oh,
surely someone will take care of that need.”
