December

How the days at this time of year rush by.  I am sure you girls are enjoying the holiday break.  You did such a great job performing for the people at Appletree.  The ladies there were so appreciative.  I think if the girls just stood there and smiled they would think they were the cutest things but having them sing was a bonus.  As you can tell by the photos the girls took this assignment seriously.
     Thank you so much to Sister Munson for helping with the piano and the ornaments that the girls made and passed out were a big hit. Thanks Sister Elwood!
     As President Monson said, "Giving, not getting, brings to full bloom the Christmas spirit."

     With the start of the New Year we should be back on the second and fourth Friday schedule.  We look forward to seeing you then.

Service Scavanger Hunt - "when ye are in the service of your fellow beings..."

These girls know how to do service!  They swept and raked and then we were out of time but they wanted to make sure they got Laurie's yard done.  They said that was a freebie; they didn't want any reward for that.  That should make all you parents proud. They also wanted to keep going.  "We should do the Bishop's."  "We should do the Stettler's."  "I wish we had time to do someone's windows".  They were an inspiration to me.   They worked hard and had great attitudes.  I wish I hadn't had to go so we could have done all that they wanted to.
