What an Honor!

Yesterday evening I was surprised by Bronze, one of my Trek Boys, who stopped the house by to ask me to write him a letter of recommendation for his Eagle Scout award. I was thrilled to see him and delighted he would ask me to do that.

His birthday is coming up and that must have put the fire under him to get this done. The paperwork, apparently, is almost as tedious as the Eagle Project. Our nephew, Bryce, just turned 18 the end of June and he got his final paperwork done by the skin of his teeth. Bronze told me that he was done dragging his feet and was ready to get this done. I am more than happy to oblige.

After the surprise note from Andera about Girls' Camp long ago, and now this little honor from Bronze, I realize that there are so many wonderful kids with whom I have had the privilege of working over the years I have served in Young Women and at school. I hope I have had some positive effect on each of them, but more than likely I may never know about it. I am just fine with that. These "once in a while" moments of knowing I meant something to one of them means an awful lot. And I can live with that.
