Elder W. Christopher Waddell told a story about a man who said this:“If you will read the mail, sort the socks, and drive the car, I can do the rest.” Tell about this man and what we can learn from him.
He was Hyrum Shumway, 2nd Lieutenant in the US Army. He was injured by an exploding anti-tank mine shortly after D-Day in Normandy, France. He became blind, but was able to do some wonderful things in his life, such as: marry and have 8 children, 32 years as state director of education for the deaf and blind, 7 years as bishop, 17 years as stake partriarch, and served as a couple missionary. We can learn from his example how to respond when events, often out of our control, alter the life we had planned or hoped for. How we respond is a choice. Look to the Savior and live.
