Funny mail for Elder Jones

So, a few weeks ago Elder Jones got a piece of mail here (he still gets a bunch of junk mail here, of course!) that made me laugh.

It was from the US Navy Reserve and the front said: "Sometimes, success is all about being in the right place at the right time."

Some quotes from the inside text:

"Giving back - who knew it could be so worthwhile."

"Do something extraordinary - give your life new meaning."

"Get ahead - by giving back."

"Having a mission in life... it really can make all the difference in the world."

Of course, there was plenty more, and it was all about touting all the benefits to military service - but when you take away the military-specific things, it really applies to LDS service, specifically LDS missionaries, as well.

Truly, we really do get ahead in life by dedicating ourselves to the service of others; the Lord blesses those who serve Him!

I just thought it was really funny that this particular piece of mail came a few weeks into Elder Jones' first assignment.
