In college I had a home teacher named Matt Hall. He was a really great guy. Truly great. I've run into him a couple of times as an adult and always remember what a good example he was. One of those people that has a solid testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and is continually serving others.
At one point, I was struggling. I can't really remember what was going on but I just know that it had been a rough week and I was frustrated and discouraged. I got home one day to a note and a plate of cookies. They were from Matt and the note just said something like he had a feeling I could use a reminder that I wasn't alone and that people cared about me. Or maybe that's not what the note said at all...but that is the message I got from the note. I wasn't alone. Even though Matt didn't know I was struggling, Heavenly Father did. And he let me know that others cared through a simple act of service delivered by my friend and home teacher.
