Rufus, Elder Jennings and Elder Winget

Elder Jennings, Elder Winget and our very good driver Rufus.  Rufus has a very sad tale.  He is engaged to a young woman and were planning on marrying very soon.  There is a tradition here that the groom pays for everything, dresses, food, etc.  Rufus worked very hard and earned all the money he needed to pay for this wedding.  He went to the bank and withdrew the money to pay for it all.  Just outside of the bank he was robbed.  ALL the money was taken.  His fiance tells him it will be okay.  He is trying to work hard to re-earn all the money all over again.  It makes me want to give it to him.  But, there is honor in the earning of the money to give to his fiance.  Nice, young man.

Wow. What a hard worker. Can you tip him for driving? Just curious. So how long will it take for him to rebuild that savings?
