A letter addressed to Brent showed up in the mail. There was no return address. Inside we found an anonymous letter that read:
I would like to apologize for bumping into your car a few years back. I did not have any money at the time and so I drove away and I should not have. I have a friend who got me your name from the license plate and thus your address to send this letter. I hope this money that I have been saving since that day covers what damage I caused.
Enclosed was five hundred dollars. I held these hallowed bills. Bills that had been saved over near as we could remember, six years. All for the purpose of righting a wrong, clearing a conscience. I tucked them back in the envelope and held them tight, sending up a little prayer to God that this honest person has all that they need. Money like that is hard to spend.

Wow - that's pretty impressive resolve to make things right.
I can't even imagine how that person must have felt trying to repay and now how sweet it must be to them now!
What incredible integrity! That is a beautiful story. I think you should submit it to the Ensign! What a great example!
