I talked to Lydia yesterday. She has a family in her ward that could use our help for Christmas. Instead of giving books this year we will help this family. I guess the husband left the family about a year ago. The mother speaks a little English, but is working hard to provide for the family. You can imagine how difficult it must be to provide enough for her children and take care of their emotional needs as well. So the plan is to bring non-perishable foods to our Thanksgiving feast and what ever money you would like to donate. Lydia will take the money and get a visa gift card so she can use it to pay bills, food, or whatever they need. Hopefully, this is o.k. with everyone. Let us know.
I also need help getting an important message out. I have a friend in my ward that has not been able to have her own children. Her name is Rachel and her husband is James. They are an amazing couple. They have been married for 6 years and done all possible to have children. A year ago they were approved for adoption. They have had two opportunities that have not worked out. Rachel is asking for help to get the word out that they would like to adopt. Rachel and James will make the best parents. They both have a talent working with children and youth and they are loved by all the children and youth in our ward. They are fun, faithful, and giving. If it wouldn’t be too much trouble would you put their adoption blog information on your blogs. Some child out there is the special one for them. This is their blog: http://www.jradopt.blogspot.com/ 
Please will you do what you can to get the word out about this amazing couple.
Thanks, Jenn
