For many years my roof
has needed to be repaired. I’m poor, and I’ve been waiting
to find somebody who will do this work. And I could pay some money,
but not too much. But I never found such a person
who wanted to help me.
We found Peter because
the leader of his congregation asked us if
we’d help out. We’ve had a little experience
with roofs, so we decided to help Peter out. Why’d they come? Why did so many people come
to do something for me? Because they love
Jesus Christ. We’re taught that by helping
others, our lives will be blessed for it and our
families’ lives will be blessed for it. I don’t know Peter, but I know he needed some kind
of help. That’s our way of paying
back the goodness the Lord has given to us here
on the earth. I’ve never met anyone in
my life who came to me and asked, “What do you need? We want to help you.”
The teachings of Christ are for people to lift each other
and help each other. You could see joy in his eyes,
almost to the point of tears. I’ve never seen such
good people. Thank you for your help,
your work, everything. I will never forget
your goodness.
