My friend, Jen, and I went to our stake Relief Society service project and broadcast on Saturday. It was truly amazing. Our stake collected items for The Giving Tree, a Tucson charity that works hard to clothe, feed, and house homeless families and children. We have 2,000 homeless children in the Tucson area. Hearing that broke my heart. This organization has drop houses where they care for the children while mom or dad try to work. I left wanting to do more to help.
The broadcast was so inspiring. I left feeling uplifted and excited to be a member of the church and a member of Relief Society! It was also fun to see my friend Amy singing in the choir! The choir was beautiful! If you'd like to listen to the broadcast again, you can go here.
My friend loved it too. Watching her excitement as she discovers the truths available reminds me how exciting the gospel really is and how blessed we are to have the restored gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives. Sunday was great! We not only had Jen and Jason and their boys with us at church, but one of Devan's good friends from school came with his mom for the first time as well. The missionaries, Jen's family, Scotty Catt (our missionary that just got home from our ward), and our family are having Family Home Evening at our house. I'm excited to listen to the missionaries teach and to have that spirit that comes with them in our home.
