This year, our family had the opportunity to "adopt" five spanish-speaking families in Liberty and give them a special Christmas. The program we were apart of gave "Community Bucks" that spent like cash at various local stores. We shopped and shopped to find just the right gifts and then got everything wrapped and ready to go. One night we helped assemble the boxes that would hold our families' Christmas dinners. Then on the Saturday morning before Christmas, we loaded the suburban with all the gifts, picked up the food boxes and delivered them to each of our families. It was so nice to be able to meet and hug the sweet families that we had spent so much time thinking about! The spirit was strong as we drove from house to house, talking with the kids about blessings and how fun it is to serve others. We are already looking forward to next year!
