incredible gift!
today at church my friend Cara gave me the most incredible thoughtful gift.
She gave Jeff and I a set of 50 "to do " cards in D.C. with a map of each place to visit.

She gave Annie kate a book on learning sign language (something Annie kate has always wanted to do). Cara does the music for the primary kids. She wrote Annie Kate a card about when they learned the song "I know my Father lives" in sign language and how her face just lit up.

Then she gave Caroline a set of the laminated handouts of all the songs they sing in nursery each week. On family home evening nights Caroline is always tring to get us to sing these songs that she sings in the nursery but we don't know any of them. When Caroline openend this package she could not believe her eyes! It was better than a bowl of candy for her.

Cara, thank you so much for taking the time to write each of us a card and to give us something so individual to each of us! We love you!

Such a thoughtful gift. It is so hard to leave people behind, but just think of the friendships you'll make. Plus, you will be able to connect with them daily on your blog.

That was amazingly thoughtful. Very inspiring to me. Good thing you have this great way to keep in touch with everyone, eh?

More thoughtfulness. It's wonderful that you're being showered with so much kindness, and I love that you're documenting it on your blog because you'll remember it forever.
