WWJD?

           Once a week my old companion and I had the amazing opportunity to go and play games with some incredibly amazing people. Now these people may appear the typical elderly people, but oh boy they are more than just that. They have Alzheimer's. They stay in the facility where they live all day and as you can guess they get pretty bored, even if they forget they were bored.... Our service to these awesome people usually includes playing games and having conversation. The point is, these people can't do anything for us. They usually don't even remember us from the previous week. I have been going to that facility for close to 6 months now they always comment on my hair. "Wow your hair is sure long!" "Does it take long to wash?" "Is it hard to comb?" "Do you ever braid it around your head?" I answer ALL their questions and they ooh and aww for a while and then sure enough 5 minutes later. "WOW your hair sure is long!"

. . . . I have learned to keep my hair pinned up.

            These amazing spirits who can no longer take care of themselves are some of the sweetest people I have ever met! I love so going to that facility! It makes me happy knowing that I can make someone else happy, even if they can't do anything for me. They need constant help and I, a young missionary who is not medically smart in any way shape or form have no way to help them other than playing dominoes or bingo with them. Even if they don't remember me a week later, or even five minutes later I am always grateful to have been able to go and play with them!

            Jesus Christ was a perfect example in this aspect he would help those who could do nothing for Him.  After all he was the Son of God! He can do anything! Yet he chose to help those who could not repay Him. He chose to heal those who were sick, afflicted, blind, or leprous. He was the perfect example to all of us and we need to try and follow his example! This video is another example of how we can help those who can do nothing for us. I just thought it was so wonderful how others can give of their time to help those in need. After all we should all ask ourselves. What would Jesus do? :)
