Some more heartfelt Christmas stories

I wanted to write these thought down so I could remember them:

Our neighbor works with homeless people as his job. He and his wife spoke in church today and gave really great talks. He said that one of his clients was a lady who had psychotic episodes and had lost her family, her home, everything. He helped her and she was able to find a place to stay and got back in touch with her family. She had also lost her teeth and was self conscious about that and would never even smile. He helped her find a nice dentist who would do her dental work for $50 a month. This month she had spent some money on her grandkids and was a few dollars short of the $50 for the dentist. The receptionist said that she could not have the work done unless she had all $50 (she lived on about $100 a month). She sat in the office waiting room and cried. Then a lady came over to her and said, "I don't know you and you don't know me, but I feel prompted to give this to you." And handed her $50. He said they had given her more than just money.

The wife said that one time she was in Salt Lake with some friends and her daughter and was in a really bad mood. She looked up and a toothless homeless man was in front of her and looked at her, smiled and said, "you have pretty eyes." She said that she really needed that, and even though she had a house and many things and he had nothing, he was the bigger giver that day.
Read another of their stories here on their blog.

Then the bishop got up and read Alma 29:
1 O that I were an angel, and could have the wish of mine heart, that I might go forth and speak with the a trump of God, with a voice to shake the earth, and cry repentance unto every people!

2 Yea, I would declare unto every soul, as with the voice of thunder, repentance and the plan of redemption, that they should repent and a come unto our God, that there might not be more sorrow upon all the face of the earth.

And he talked about what we want our desires to be, especially right now at Christmas time.
