So today I was just hanging out with my brother Mark when I noticed I got a message on my phone.  It turned out to be a Facebook message from someone I've never met before.  But it reminded me just how small this world really is and how wonderful people can be.  You see if you search "Mike Veterinarian" on www.mormon.org, you are going to come up with two people: Mike Gamble and Me. 

Apparently Mike searched just that and took to reading my profile because I talk about returning from the Singapore Mission.  He had too.  One of his Mission Presidents was President Boone - my MTC President. He served as a Young Men's President to two of the Elders I served my mission with. And he has just graduated from Kansas State with his DVM. 

It can't get much smaller than that.

He sent me a nice message thanking me for my service as a missionary and for having my mormon.org profile up and encouraged me in my quest on becoming a veterinarian.  There are a lot of great people in this world and they deserve encouragement and thanks.

So who knows, the next stranger you meet may be more connected to you than you realize.  Treat them nicely, there's no telling what kind of a difference it will make.
