Giving Jesus A Birthday Present

December 21, 2010
I love love love these pictures and the story behind them! This is obviously Emma and with her is her friend Fiorella. Emma has been begging me to take her to the store house when I go to serve there. It's always when she's at school but knowing that the Christmas break was coming up, I surprised her with a trip to help me at the Bishop's Store House. It casually got mentioned to Fiorella and her mom and so they decided that they would go as well on the day we went. Koky, Danyella, and Fiorella all came with us. It was such a great time. It always is! While the girls were stacking shelves one of them asked why we were doing this. I told them that it was a gift to Jesus for his birthday! Fiorella and Emma both loved the idea of being able to give him a gift! They had a great time being there and helping out. They loved stocking shelves and making lunch for everyone. They even got to help fill a couple of patrons orders. I'm so proud of these girls. Emma wants to go back as soon as she can. When I talked to Koky yesterday she said that Fiorella said the same thing. Ah it makes my heart swell knowing the reason they want to go back is because it felt right and good to be there! Way to go girls, I know the Lord is so pleased with you!
