Is there anything we can do that you would say-Well Done
___________________________________________________

Kid the Well done you seek should be from Jesus Christ ...the one in The Christian Bible...

“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ Matthew 25:23

My praise will get you nothing...

You should be seeking the approval of God not man...

Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ. Galatians 1:10

The mormons do nothing that others do not also do...

But others dont get a trumpet and shout out to the world how great they are...

Are you doing all this to impress me ???

or are you doing it just to help people in need without a hope of anything in return as Jesus told us to do ???

without a hidden adgenda ???

People who cant pay yyou back ???

Why not start in a third world country somewhere ???

an examination of the motives for doing all that might be in order...

My intent is not to impress anyone. The attempt is to show that we too try to serve the Lord by helping others. We are victims of people like you who cannot find any good in anything Mormon. We are all over the third world but you do not know it by your comments. We have thousands of members in Africa where we have helped bring in fresh water wells hundreds of times, delivered wheel chairs, set up health clinics, and more importantly we teach people how to improve their lives physically as well as spiritually. Our Perpetual Education Fund has helped 38,000 young people in these countries to gain educations, or learn a trade to get them out of centuries old poverty. I just get frustrated with the assumption that everything Christian is wonderful and everything Mormon is evil.We are better able than most to help people because we do not pay out salaries at the local level.

You say no one else trumpets their work with third world countries. Perhaps you haven’t seen the countless T.V. Evangelists with their pitch from funds for the great work they are doing!!
