Random Acts of Kindness The DeseretBnB Way

 A week ago, my wife and I were excited. We had just opened our DeseretBnB business account at Wells Fargo bank in Everett, Washington. To celebrate, we were going to eat at Dick's Drive-In, a Seattle icon where the fries are as greasy as a 1950's hoodlum. However, when we arrived at my truck, two women were standing next to it, speaking Spanish and pointing to a flat tire on their vehicle. 
     "You have a flat tire," I pointed out.
     The women looked at me and asked, "Okay to drive to tire shop?" they asked.
     "No, need," I said, "I'll have changed it in a couple of minutes."
   My wife pointed out that the white clothes I was wearing wouldn't come clean as I ushered her into our truck and went to work. 
  Within ten minutes, after a lot of grunting and sweating, I had the spare tire on the ladies' car and was accepting their gratitude as non-chalantly as I could. Covered with grease and sweat, I told them it was no problem. My wife and I then continued on our way thinking that was the end of the story. It wasn't.
   On Father's day, a few days later, my wife and I were driving on I-405 near Kirkland, Washington. Suddenly, I lost all power in my pickup. I pulled over to the side of the road and checked the engine, I couldn't find anything wrong, so I called AAA. As I was speaking to them to arrange a tow truck, a young man named Jeremy driving a white Ford pickup with a motorcycle in the back, stopped and asked me what the problem was. Since I had looked, and looked, and couldn't find anything, I told the young fellow thanks but, "I have a truck on the way."
   The young man asked if he could take a look anyway. All the while, cars and trucks are zooming past just feet away at sixty to seventy miles an hour. 
While I was speaking to AAA, the young man told me my electronic fuel injection fuse was burnt and he had traded out that fuse with another. Sure, enough, the truck started right up. Without my glasses, the fuses had looked fine to me.
Because I was trying to get AAA to cancel the tow truck, the young man returned to his truck and waited for us to get rolling. I never got his contact details, so I have no way to thank him. So, here it is.
   Thank you Jeremy. 
   Most people don't believe this story could happen in a place like Washington State, which used to be full of wonderful people but is now overrun with the world's worst characters. 
Ever since I began the process of founding Deseretbnb.com, where Latter-day Saints can travel and stay in safety within the social network of the Church, wonderful things like this have been happening every day. Please, join with us and a whole world of Saints.

 DeseretBnB-Connecting LDS Rentals with LDS Renters

 Let's face it, the world is changing so quickly it's hard to keep up. The recent rise in the closures of brick and mortar retail stores, thanks to Amazon and the Internet will soon be eclipsed by the failure of corporate hotel chains as the home hospitality industry does what Uber did to taxis. Of course, the hotel chains are not going to go down without a fight. That is why we join with Airbnb in their struggle to free the American Entrepreneur to realize his or her earning potential using their own home to generate revenue. Healthy competition will empower travelers to expand their experiences through cheaper travel costs.

     We at DeseretBnB love the American small business person because we too, are small business people. We see ourselves as the new kings in the global economy. We, you and I, join with other like-minded kings to benefit all the collective kingdoms and then hopefully, we profit from our benevolence. There is no natural, physical or man made law against that in our country (yet).

    So, why DeseretBnB when it is so easy to look for a listing on another BnB site? If you are a Latter-day Saint, you don't really need me to answer that question.

    If you are not a Latter-day Saint, I will quickly point out that the Latter-day Saint culture, in terms of what is acceptable, is almost completely at odds with what is commonly termed normal in popular culture. Latter-day Saints have needs of quiet times for prayer and an alcohol and drug free environment. Latter-day Saints often travel to participate in sacred Temple ceremonies and they must maintain a clear and open state of mind before and after their participation.

    Furthermore, Latter-day Saints who act as hosts expect their homes to be treated as a sacred dwellings where peace and serenity are desired and kindness is the rule of the day. Of course, the presence of alcohol, drugs, music and movies that are popular today would not be acceptable in a Latter-day Saint home.

    The solution is obvious-DeseretBnB, the premier booking site for Latter-day Saints. We are Latter-day Saints, we love the LDS Church and we want to be able to give back and to help the members of the Church to grow and strengthen each other. We want to help all the members of the Church to make money, to travel and to spread their vision of a better world. We hope you will support us in this endeavor. We need listings, and travelers. Please join us in our efforts to strengthen the Saints and veterans in these troubling times.
