Read the article Walking the Extra Mile. Then answer the questions.
What did Tor do to help Stein?
1. Set a good example. Then he went all the way to Stein's house to invite him to seminary.
Why were Tor's actions so meaningful to Stein?
2. Because Stein could feel the spirit and he was prepared somehow to respond.
Has anyone every treated you the way Tor treated Stein? When?
3. No... but maybe it will happen in the future.
Have you ever treated someone else that way? Explain.
4. Yes. I used to invite my friend Tyler to church. I tried to be a good freind to him and a good example. Maybe someday he will join the church.

I love this story because it is a reminder of the power one righteous person doing what the spirit prompts them to do has in the lives of others. It isn't always easy to do the right thing but it is always worth it. I have been the recipient of this kind of service and love a lot in my life. And I have hope that I have given this kind of love to others.
Spencer,
I like to think of my self as a gardener who is caring for a garden of plants he my never see bare fruit...but I know that the care I give each individual plant matters to that plant, that day and into the future. Every time we nourish any living thing are helping that life achieve its Divine nature. You are a friend to Tyler and when you invited him to Church activities you were helping him grow spiritually. Some day he may flower into a Latter-Day Saint...and you would have helped.
Write back!
Love, Grampa
Grandpa- Thank you for sending a comment. I like getting comments. I think you are right about that and I hope Tyler can join the church some day. That is really all I have to say expect I can't wait until you come for Christmas.
Love,
Spencer
Spencer,
We are very excited to be with all of you at Christmas also...so, let's plan sometime way cool to do! I would love to go on a hike or bike ride...or maybe we could build something... or maybe we could make a great dinner for the family... or help someone in the Ward or neighborhood... or take a train ride to a near by town and see how they live...or take a walking tour using the GPS TomTom...or help mom/dad with a special chore (mean project) they need done. Let's make some plans!
Keep up on your home work so you have some free time when we are there.
I love you...god night to you all.
Love, Grampa
