Lifelong Learning

My fiancé and I recently found someone's iPhone in a cart at the grocery store. He actually found it and brought it home to ask me what we should do about it. He wanted to keep it after seeing some rude messages on the screen of the iPad from the owner, who assumed someone stole it and was keeping it, and they were offering a cash reward for the return of the phone. We aren't sure how long the phone was left in the cart. I was able to figure out how to call the owner from a phone number on the screen and talk to her. She answered the phone with a very bad attitude it I was able to assure her that we found her phone and wanted to return it to her and did not want any money for it. We returned the phone and my fiancé and I both came away from the situation with some frustration but perhaps some kind of lesson. This situation arose because God puts people in our lives in order for us to learn something. The experience helped me share some strong feelings I have about integrity and honesty and always doing the right thing even if you get no reward. I shared with him something I learned which is that God wants us to learn from others. I shared with him the article by Henry B Eyering, "Do what they think you can't do". We both were able to share some goals we have about what we want to achieve and that we can indeed acheive them because we are children of God. We both agree that we were meant to find the phone so that we could learn about each other's values and how we can be better to other people. I hope the owners of the phone learned from the experience as well, perhaps to not jump to conclusions so quickly and not to be so rude in text messages assuming we had stolen the phone. I'm grateful for the Savior and his atonement especially when we face temptation to do things the wrong way. I'm grateful that I can learn anything I want to and I feel strong knowing I have the Spirit to teach me.
