Meet Elder Hammond:

"There's a word to describe  someone who won't even bother to meet you at the bus station. It starts with an 'o' or, I don't know, maybe a 'c' or something. I think it's "C-a-..." No, I've lost it."

Elder Hammond was a freckled-face, shy sort of bumpkin from some rural farm town in Kansas. He was awkward and withdrawn. Even in his white shirt and tie he reminded me of the type of kid you'd see in denim coveralls, wearin' a straw hat and chompin' on the thin blade of grass whilst irrigatin' the lower forty.
​
He was just a simple, quiet, humble kid but he was also fiercely determined and dedicated. He had no delusions of grandeur, just a desire to serve. Perhaps more than any missionary I had ever met, Elder Hammond had a purity of spirit and an altruistic motivation in ministering. I pitied him. I think he actually believed he could make a difference.
