Great Opportunity

One of my good friends that I’ve made at UASD invited me to participate in donating toys to a local orphanage with a group she is a member of. I forgot how much I love little kids! They were so excited to receive the toys—and we’ll put a little bit of reality in here, some of them complained and wanted to trade for something different—but for the most part they loved it! We immediately helped them open up packages of dolls, racecars, balls, hula hoops, and more. I have to say the boys’ toys were way more interesting…remember those cars that you have to pull backward and the little clicky noise winds the wheels so that when you release it, the car moves forward? We had a race with those. Some of them wanted to show off how they could count in English and others just wanted to sit next to me.

“He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: ‘Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.’”  --Matthew 18:2-4
