Bringing hope
I've been thinking lately a lot about unfair stereotypes and judgements that keep people like Will from getting a job. I've had moments where I've wanted to take on all of the employers who have brushed past Will's resume. I am convinced that we all have hidden insecurities that cause us to reject those less fortunate or less able. I wish I could wash that all away-- in fact I wish I could say that because my husband is at times unjustly judged, that I don't judge others unfairly.There is more need than ever to treat others fairly. Too many people live under a covering of misplaced labels and under-appreciated abilities. I know we can do better. The next time you look the other way when you see hunger or misery- instead see value and bring hope.

I am your RS President's daughter-in-law and in Rob Hale's ward here in Texas...small, small world. I see first hand the things you are going through when I talk with Mercedi. You are both amazing ladies!
If you ever need a listening ear or someone to complain to...I really, really hope you use Rex and Jo...there aren't better people on this earth and they will do ANYTHING. I am lucky to call them family and you will be lucky to call them friends!
Hang in there!
Thank you for your comment. It's good to have friends in Texas :) And I love Mercedi- even though we have never met. Your mother-in-law is amazing. She makes me laugh every sunday during her RS intro...
