With Brian being the Bishop of or Ward, congregation, we often get calls from people traveling through that need help. There is actually a Bishop in our area that is assigned to help these individuals, Brian is not that Bishop. I usually take down the information and pass it along to Brian for him to call the correct Bishop.

Friday afternoon I got one such call. A woman called explaining that she is a truck driver from California and her truck is in the shop. She has been in a hotel for a week and needed a ride to cash a check and get some groceries. She was in tears because she couldn't find anyone to give her a ride. My first thought was to offer her a ride, but, I wanted to follow procedure. So I took down her information and called Brian, with my fingers crossed that I would be able to go help her.

Brian said that would be great. Just take along the correct Bishops name and number in case she needed something more than a ride. I called her back and told her I could give her a ride. She was excited and tells me that her husband is with her also. I got a little nervous...Carson and I still went.

Tina and Soyvan. She is Mormon and he is Muslim. She has been a member for 5 years and they have been married since January. They were great!! They were so gracious and extremely easy to talk to. I am grateful that I was able to help. I'm grateful that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is a church of order. That this couple called Salt Lake and was given a phone number of a local Bishop for help. I'm grateful that I answered the phone and listened to the prompting to give them a ride. I'm soo glad I was able to lift their spirits for the day, they lifted mine as well.
