“I meet people all over the world, and one thing I have
noticed is that the people who are in distress and the people who have
something to give are often the same people. There is no nirvana when our
problems finally end and we can finally help others with theirs. I have a front
row seat to witness the impact of life-saving food, clothing, and labor donated
by members of the Church in an emergency, but if you ask me what I have seen
that accomplishes the most lasting good, it is you. You are the gift. You yourself
are the gift. It is not the clothing, the hygiene kits, the school desks, or
the wells. It is you. And you don’t have to be in a perfect state yourself to
be doing it.” – Sharon Eubank
