Every now and then, some little thing will come along that totally
validates you. As teachers, this
would sometimes arrive in the form of a little note from a student received
AFTER grading deadlines were past.
The best ones came from students from many years past, some of whom we
barely even remembered.
Yesterday during church meeting in our Écully Ward, we had
one of these sweet experiences.
Elder Geddes has had the calling to play the piano in Primary for the
past 18 months. Between meetings, one
of the Primary children handed us a little hand-made card. Translating from French, the card
reads:
"Dear Mr. and Mrs.
Geddes, Because of your kindness
and your love for others, I would like to thank you for all that you have done
for us. We love you a lot and we
hope you will come back to our church at the end of your mission. I wish you much happiness and a happy
new year. Thank you!!! From Lenzo"
Missions can be lots of things: challenging, rewarding,
expensive, exhausting, exciting, et cetera. But ours just got paid in full.
