Week 11: A Great List of Service Activities

This last week was spring break. The girls spent almost the whole week with their Grandma. That was a wonderful act of service by my mom! The girls had a wonderful time.

One day, at the end of the break, we went to Hollywood as a family. We also went to the newly renovated LA Temple Visitor's Center. We have friends serving there and it was nice to visit with them. The church has done a wonderful job with the updates there.


Do you know of anyone who is interested in learning more about the family? Take them there!

On another note, in preparing my primary lesson for this week, I ran across this great website, KidsActivities.net, with a list of service activities for kids. I wanted to share it with you. They list tons of great ideas for families, kids or even large groups.

Week 10: Letters to Soldiers

This week the girls wrote a letter to a soldier. We love and support our troops and wanted to share our gratitude with them.


You can write a letter too. A Million Thanks is a wonderful website dedicated to helping our troops.

Week 9: Kind Words

This week we decided to think about what we say to others. Big and grand acts of service are awesome, but sometimes just our words can brighten someone's day.

We discussed the difference in how we say things using examples of tone and facial expressions. Sometimes we don't realize how something may come out of our mouths even with the best intentions.

The goal for this week was to say something nice to someone every day.

Here are a couple of Sienna's experiences:
♥ She saw a lady walking to her car and thought she was pretty. She and I were sitting in our car so we rolled down the window and told her that she looked pretty today. The lady was surprised and very happy. She drove away with a huge smile on her face.
♥ Sienna told one of her friends at school that she loved her and gave her a big hug.

Here are a couple of Haven's experiences:
♥ During the school open house, Haven went to her teacher, Mrs. Miller and gave her a big hug and told her she loves her.
♥ She told one of her friends how much she likes playing with her.

Together, when we were at the mall, we told the lady helping us that shirt was really pretty.

These are just small things that didn't cost anything. They just took a few seconds of our time. However, they probably made someone smile and warmed a heart for a long time.
