I am a huge believer in active faith, perhaps because faith doesn't come easily to me.
I always think that God sends us help in the form of each other. I'm a bit rusty on the story of the handcart companies, though I read them just last night. Didn't volunteers from the Utah settlement come back to help them? And my ancestor who stayed at Winter Quarters. His calling while he was there was to help the others along their way. I sort of think of the board that way too. And other opportunities to support. That God sends people our way when we need them. Or that he calls them to help at least. So I feel a responsibility to listen for that call.
I guess I believe in a different sort of angel.
