For our November Scout Pack Meeting the scouts made craft Turkeys and assembled care packages for the single sisters in our ward. These included Christmas music, a DVD about Jesus Christ, a candle, cookies, candy kisses, soup in a jar, and a handmade card signed by each of the young boys. The boys then went with their family to deliver the basket and visit with one sister.
This was a great learning experience for the boys to learn to give to others. In Primary the theme for the month is Mosiah 2:7, "When ye are in the service of your Fellow Beings, You are only in the Service of your God".
I am grateful for parents who taught me the fulfillment and joy that comes from serving others.
Here are a few comments made from some of the sisters who received a basket:
Joyce Kristofferson I was privileged to receive one of our scouts projects. Thank you scouts. The turkey is awesome. The gifts on the tray wonderful and so perfect for the coming holiday.
Susan Clark Williams-Ashby My mother was overwhelmed by the generosity and love shown to her tonight. Thanx to all the scouts and their families and my mother's thoughtful Angel Shelly, you all really made her feel special tonight!!!
Marsha Whiting Dutson What a special surprise for me and Madi. She couldn't have been more excited. Thanks for making us feel so special
