So, I work at Wells Fargo and sometimes the customers can get really needy and there's just days where I don't want to be there. A customer who usually comes in, I see her about 3-4 times a month, her name is Mele. Don't know her last name but she's from Samoa. I started to get in a conversation with her saying that my good friend Jacob is on a mission in Tonga. So basically some small chat & the the next time I saw her, I told her that the same friend just got back from his mission. So we started talking about missionaries and she told me about a missionary in her ward right now and he's a convert & his whole family disowned him. (So I'm talking to her about this in a low voice, while trying to do her transactions) She then started tearing up and told me that her whole ward raised enough money for his entire mission. Mele started tearing up & told me that THE CHURCH IS TRUE! & after hearing her story, I kinda looked back on my life and that I am soooo thankful for my family and how they are so supportive of me in whatever I do. Mele told me this story in the bank while there were other customers but she didn't care who heard her. I don't know why she told me this whole story, but I'm glad that I stopped and listened. I'm glad that I didn't just do her transaction fast so she could get out of the way.
We need to learn to "enjoy the journey" & even though times get tough, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. I went to a dessert party tonight & I ran into a friend & we were talking about how you just sometimes have to get over what you're going through. & even though it's tough and it happens to the best of us (break ups especially) you just have to slap yourself & tell yourself that things will get better. I honestly don't know the point of this post but this has been on my mind lately.
Xoxo,
