Just Do it

"People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do." - Louis Cass

I heard a story while I have been out here about a man that was struggling early in his life. He had no one to turn to and didn't know what to do. His friend gave him a number to call of someone that might be able to help him out. He called and this person was able to able him. He didn't just say that he will do something but he actually went out and did something for this man. And for two years, this man had his struggles, and for two years, this other man helped him out, always had his back. Eventually this man was able to get on his feet again, and he started to make the right choices in his life and make something of himself.

       The man that helped him didn't just say you can do this, but he helped him for two years, he is an example of how you can change people by what you do. After two years, the struggling man had so much respect for the man helping, that when he was asked to go to the Hill Camora pageant, he knew that he should go, he didn't want to let him down. After going to the pageant, and realizing what the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is all about, he decided to ask for the missionaries.

     We can all make a difference in someones life. If we go out and show people how to follow the savior and be an example to how we should be, we can make more of a difference than just saying and telling people how to do it. Be an example and let your light shine forth!
