On the Sunday before the presidential election, in a ward in Greensboro, N.C., the Relief Society lesson was shaped around the passage in Mosiah 18:21, where, at the Waters of Mormon, Alma tells the newly baptized Saints to look forward with one eye, having their hearts knit together in unity and in love toward one another.
To prepare for the lesson, the teacher had called one sister and asked her for an example of service — something wonderful and unexpected that someone had done for her, a service that really meant something.
