Since I've been in this ward, there is nothing else I like to do but to meet up with the youth and YSA girls. Some of them I really got to know and it has been a delight to see them grow to become wonderful women in the gospel. One of those young ladies is Taheera. Mika and I got to know her when Mika was in the Bishopric and in charged of overseeing the Young Single Adults. We created tons of get togethers and activities for our ward YSA that we created a bond with Taheera. She is a sweet young lady with so much to offer and she is very talented. Tonight she came and visited me which she brought some home made fruit treats as a easter treat. She wanted to thank me for being so kind to her and always making he feel comfortable and loved. I am so greatful for every opportunity that I have to be a little light to those who comes into my life. May we all be a shinning light to those who God brings in to our live. We never know what impact we may have to help them.

My Dad is awesome and I am grateful that he sends me treats from Hawaii. It's nice to know, if I can't find my Hawaiian treats here in Utah or online, I got Dad to my rescue. So much yummy snacks in my package that I'm excited to eat them. It came at the perfect time because I am finishing up our Hawaii trip 2018 video and I was missing eating some of those childhood treats. Thanks again Dad for my goodies!!

Making treats are fun to put together when I am in the mood to do it. There are times when I don't care to make anything but this time I wanted to. So I went shopping a few days ago to grab a few small treats and bags to make a Christmas goodie bag for my youth girls in my class and for a few ministering sisters in my ward. I hope they like it and are in church this Sunday, but if a few of them aren't there then I will give it to whomever I feel prompted to give. Well I hope ya'll are safe and have a wonderful Christmas weekend.

Every Wednesday, Henry would bring food from the food bank and this week be brought a ton of bananas. So I thought that it would be a nice treat to give small banana bread to my youth girls and to some of the Relief Society sisters. So I will be giving it to them this coming Sunday after the primary program. I hope they like it since I don't bake much. Well its the thought that counts, right?

 So yesterday as I was doing my typical daily routine of cleaning, a thought came to my mind or should I say names. These names of 3 sisters in my ward came to me as if its important. So I prayed in my mind while I was cleaning, in asking the Lord why did he place these sisters names in my head? Nothing came back to me after I said a prayer and so I continue on with my cleaning. Then suddenly after 40 minutes of no response from the Lord, a thought of cookies and treats popped into my mind. That's when I knew the Lord wanted me to pay them a visit. Even though I don't know these sisters personally, God knew them and wanted me to fellowship. Once I was done cleaning my humble little home, I got got my keys and went to the store to get some goodies for these sisters. While walking around the store, I prayed to God and ask, what kind of treats should I get them? No thought or inspiration came to me. Then I went to the candy else at Walmart to see if anything comes to my mind. Next thing I knew it, an image of a goodie bag came to my mind and I knew what the Lord wanted me to put together. I got everything that I needed at Walmart and the Dollar tree and went home to put it together. It was simple and cute of a goodie bag for the 3 sisters. I put small candy bars, cookies, cheese crackers, a scented candle and a thoughtful note. My note was heartfelt and of caring nature. I wanted to let them know how much they are appreciated and thought of by many in the ward and by the Lord. Even if I don't make an impact on their lives, I know the Lord will. Hope they like it. Now I am off to drop it off at their homes.
