This is a story about a young man whom I interviewed for
his mission. Some time later I got a letter from him with a number of
large bills, they were greenbacks. I thought he took a chance sending it
that way, but it was wrapped well. There was also enclosed an envelope
addressed to another elder and a note to this elder.
The missionary in his letter to me said, "Will you put the
money and this memorandum in the enclosed envelope , put a stamp on it , and
mail it to this elder?" The letter to the missionary to whom the
money was to be sent said about these words: "Enclosed is some money that
I want you to have so that you can stay and finish your mission.
Unsigned."
His missionary companion's folks were having some financial
difficulties. This boy had been saving a little money out of his
missionary allowance, and he had sent that to me to put in an envelope to send
back to his companion, and he did not want him to know whence it came.
Oh, what a lesson!
