Church in Guam Makes the News for All the Right Reasons

A charming local news story out of Guam on Tuesday praised The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who donated 324 wheelchairs to local support agencies.

Be sure to read it here.

I was particularly pleased to read the paper report, “The wheelchairs have been well thought out as they come in multiple sizes and extra cushions for comfort and are also durable in Guam weather conditions.” These kinds of local donations from locals who understand local needs are often at the heart of the best Christian service.  And while the recently released report demonstrates the breadth of the Church’s charitable efforts, it’s still these local reports that best demonstrate the heart and giving spirit of Latter-day Saints.
