Happy day!!! Gifts arrived from new friends in Utah. We made an appointment with each family to bring the things that were sent for each girl. Great excitement and lots of smiles. I believe the favorite thing for each girl was the CTR ring and bracelet. 

Mothers, grandma's and Aunts would all look at the headband and say" I think I could make another one of these." It was a happy time for all. Even though we had no gifts for brothers and sisters, they were very excited for their sister and knew they would get to play with the toys too.

 Each girl took the picture of their new Utah friends, studied the faces and tried to pronounce the names of  the girls written on the back. Some laughed when we told them the white stuff was snow.  

 Every family immediately started to play frisbee after we showed them how to throw it.  We actually had fun jumping rope with each girl and her family. We even made friends with the neighbor ladies who came to jump rope. And of course we had to play jacks, the neighbor's liked that too.

Each of the girls asked us to relay their appreciation to their new friends.

Jump ropes, frisbee's, jacks, lotion, rings, bracelets, headbands, and balls, may seem like little things but to kids who have no Christmas or birthdays this package was a source of great excitement that even brought their neighbor's over to see what was happening. Each delivery brought a celebration and made a lot of people happy. We thank you for all your thoughtfulness, for bringing joy to peoples lives.

It's not very often that these girls feel special, your sacrifice in sending these gifts, brightened their lives, and left them feeling more like they matter. 

Elder Jefferies and I thank you for giving us the privilege of delivering your gifts. It is always fun to make someone happy.
