MISSION: Holiday Wishes

Do you know what I love?  When people are kind AND honest.  Today’s mission from Affiliated Agent B has both, and not just from the agent herself!

Affiliated Agent B

LOCATION:
in and around Shoreline, Washington

TIME:

I bought these three little wallets a couple years ago from a store going out of business. At the time I thought they would be good stocking stuffers but then they got misplaced in the “misc” box in my closet…….

Fast forward to this morning when I found them again and decided they would be the perfect RAKs for my pre-Christmas mission…….

I put a simple message in each, attached the SAL card and stuffed in a $5 bill then dropped them off in 3 distinct areas….. one at the local “big box” store while I was getting Christmas groceries, one in the restroom of a restaurant my husband and I went to for dinner this evening, and the third one I left inside the credit card wallet when we paid our bill — the waitress was so nice and cheerful — (I spent many years waiting tables and always appreciate a good wait person!!)

Little did Affiliated Agent B know that leaving her gift in this restroom would show us just how kind and honest some other people are!

A short time before  Affiliated Agent B sent me her mission specifics and photos, I received the following email:

Dear Secret Agent,

Happy Holidays! We just wanted to inform you that one of our very loyal guests turned in a red wallet containing $5! She turned it in and we figured we would contact the email address on the business card. Please let us know how you would like to claim the wallet and cash.

Sincerely,
(name withheld for privacy)

I was so blown away by the honesty of the two individuals involved–the one who turned in the wallet and the one who emailed me about it.  That just shows me that there truly is kindness in our world, that there are so many good, loving, and honest people out there.  What a wonderful Christmas gift her email was to me!

I responded to the writer of the email, of course, and explained how the Secret Agent L Project works and said she could keep the wallet or return it to the person who originally turned it in.

Hooray for kindness, no matter where it comes from!
