My ancestor, Mette Marie Olsen, sacrificed much with her family for her faith. She crossed the plains with her family in handcarts, and her shoes wore out in Iowa, so she walked barefoot the rest of the way. She was young, only 10. She nearly starved and froze to death. But the above quote is what she was known for saying: “The half loaf is better than the whole if it means you helped someone else in need.” That is true charity, isn’t it?
