There are chances for work all around, opportunities right in our way...
There is never a day that goes by where I don't see someone in need or notice a strangers lack. I think about the opportunity to serve and think: Well I am a missionary and I do that all day but still don't think I am doing my part in the "world".
I sit in the library all day and help people with scanning images from microfilm to either paper or flash drive. I think my duty is quite minimal but yesterday I was given a rather random compliment.

I helped a lady with her film and then she left, I figured just another patron- nothing special. So I went on with my daily activities. I was told my a fellow missionary that she wanted to talk to me but had to leave. I guess she loved the way I explained what to do and I was just a very patient and very intelligent young man. I never really thought that I would "make someone else's pathway bright", but the realization that I do made me really think. It can be the tiny things that make a day or even a week. You never know who may need some "light".
What a wonderful responsibility we have as the "keepers" of the light! We can share our light with everyone we see, a simple smile, holding the elevator, or even showing an elderly how to scan and image to a flash drive can brighten the pathway!
Use your light wisely! You are the example of the brightest gift of all- The light of Christ!
"Never pass by, saying some time I'll try, wake up and do something more!"
