A Little Peek at How Connor Serves Others

On Fast Sunday in March one of the older ladies that Connor takes care of got up and bore her testimony. She told of her week and how she had  a really bad day.  She said that she was in a lot of pain and was really frustrated.  She has a sunflower thing in her front yard that spins when the wind blows and she said that when she is having a bad day she likes to sit and watch it spin and it helps her feel better.  That day in particular she was feeling poorly and was watching her sunflower spin when a big gust of  wind blew it right over.  She was very distressed and hobbled out to try and fix it.  Just a minute later she heard the sound of an engine and then the voice of a nice young man who said, "Sister Whipple, do you need some help?"  Connor fixed her decoration and talked to her for a few minutes and went on his merry way.  Unbeknownst to him, he had brightened her day and helped an older lady feel loved and understood by the Lord.  She didn't say his name over the pulpit but he knew it was him and he was so proud of himself!  Ssitting on that bench he was just beaming!  He leaned over to grandma and said "that was me!".  He then asked his grandma if he should go up and bare his testimony and tell everyone that it was him.  Grandma of course told him no that he shouldn't do that and after the meeting he got lots of compliments from lots of people because they knew that it was him that helped Sister Whipple!  He is always on the look out for ways to help people. He takes his work very seriously and wants to help any one he can.  He cleared up some ground at Brother Jones' house so they could get his garden ready.  Brother Jones is almost 90, mostly deaf and blind and not really all that well.  His daughter lives with him and takes care of him and his son, Tracy who is extremely mentally and physically disabled.  I saw the daughter, Melanie, when we were getting our recommends signed at the Stake Center.  She told me how they just love Connor and they were so glad and grateful that he came to help them get the garden ready.  This is the same Brother Jones that Connor went and sang Christmas Carols to over the holidays.
