Licorice Incentive

Landon has always taken his church callings serious, he goes above and beyond to do his work. He is the young men 1st councilor in our ward and the boys love him. On Sundays Landon brings the long licorice rope and chops pieces off if the boys: don't have their scriptures, white shirt, tie, shined shoes, were not in mutual the week before, or if they were late. It really is helping, the boys are on time if not early and look nicer at church. One boy got licorice chopped off for not having church shoes on. He told Landon he didn't have any. The next week Landon gave him his pair of church shoes and told him they meant a lot to him because he wore them on his mission. Landon told him to take good care of them and if he didn't Landon would take them back.
Another time, Landon gave a boy in the ward 2 of his ties. This boy is not a member and is starting to come with his mom. He needed a tie and so Landon gave him a few.
That's just a few nice thing of many that Landon as done to help someone in our ward. I can't get that mad at him when he is late coming home because it is usually him helping someone in need.

I love you Landon.
