I collected articles from magazines and quotes
about love, laughter, and friendship and save them. Then one day I
purchased a blank book from a Dollar Tree store, and put a variety of
things into the book to cheer a friend up. Also, I used some scriptures
and colorful stickers. (From Ora Witt - posted October 4, 2007)
"When I first moved into my new ward, I felt like an
outsider. I wanted some sisters to talk to. I really have to push myself
to be outgoing. So, from that experience, I decided to be friendly to the
new sisters that move into our ward. We seem to have an abundance, as we
are close to a university. It doesn’t sound like much, but I know that a
friendly face and some welcoming words are needed when starting out
someplace new." (From G. Christensen,

The morning of my mothers funeral, a dear friend brought
us 2 hot baked egg casseroles, juice and cut fruit to help feed my family
and visiting relatives. SO SWEET. I probably wouldn't even have eaten
otherwise! From that sweet kindness, I passed it along recently for
several families in my ward needing 'help' all at the same time. I knew
that dinners were being brought in, so instead I took quick breakfast
foods. Pre-bottled juice, bagels, cream cheese, granola bars, instant
oatmeal, frozen waffles, etc. (From Kathee - posted April 12, 2008)
