"Elder Richard L. Evans Jr. wrote the following about the need for expressions of gratitude: ‘Until this morning, I felt that I had been very much imposed upon. At a cost of considerable effort and inconvenience, some days ago I performed a difficult service for a friend-at his urgent insistence. So far as I knew he hadn't made any effort to see me since then. There was no word of thanks-no evidence of any appreciation-no suggestion that my services had been satisfactory just silence. Silence that is, until this morning, when a sincere and satisfying note of appreciation came from him. And in the moment or two it took to read it, it warmed my heart and altered my outlook on the whole episode. Writing it had cost him only a very little time, but it had rewarded me richly.'
