THANK YOU!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all those who came to our Service Night last night.  Because of your help and your donations, we were able to assemble 48 hygiene kits!  AND with just a few more items, we can complete 36 more!  That's 84 hygiene kits!  That's way more than I even thought possible.  Just think of all those people in Haiti that are going to benefit from this little act of service we did. We were also able to tie 5 quilts last night!  I'm telling ya, ladies, you all are completely awesome.  :)  We were few in number last night, but the results were amazing.  


I found this great quote on service that I'd like to share with you.  I hope you enjoy it!
"Service to others deepens and sweetens this life while we are preparing to live in a better world. It is by serving that we learn to serve. When we are engaged in the service of our fellowmen, not only do our deeds assist them, but we put our own problems in a fresher perspective. When we concern ourselves more with others, there is less time to be concerned with ourselves! In the midst of the miracle of serving, there is the promise of Jesus that by losing ourselves, we find ourselves!" 

--Spencer W. Kimball, "Speaks Out on Service to Others", New Era, Mar. 1981, 47
