Stupid kids are stupid kids...being Mormon missionaries has nothing to do with it.

For some reason this thread reminded me of something the very holy Serbian saint, +Nikolai Velimirovic said:

“If your heart has been softened either by repentance before God or by learning the boundless love of God towards you, do not be proud with those whose hearts are still hard. Remember how long your heart was hard and incorrigible.

Seven brothers were ill in one hospital. One recovered from his illness and got up and rushed to serve his other brothers with brotherly love, to speed their recovery. Be like this brother. Consider all men to be your brothers, and sick brothers at that. And if you come to feel that God has given you better health than others, know that it is given through mercy, so in health you may serve your frailer brothers.”

Wonderful words. They represent what all Christians are called to be for each other.

Thank you, sir.

That brother is truly to be emulated.
