Morristown to the Rescue!! Thank You My Sisters!

Tammy James is the mother of one of our missionaries that served in Moldova. She has followed our blog and became interested in helping us to help Moldovans. She has organized her Stake Relief Society to do some pretty wonderful service projects. One of those projects is to gather items that are badly needed in Moldova, like diapers for babies that currently don't have any diapers to use at all (if you can imagine that). She did an absolutely wonderful email with photos and backgrounds and everything to send to members of the Relief Society in her Stake. I was able to copy the words of the email but not all of the beautiful embellishments. Because this blog is also my mission journal I wanted to preserve her email even if it is only the words. Thank you Tammy for all you do to help others and to help my Moldovan "family" who have so many needs. I can hear the angels singing from here!

Enjoy Sister James email plea to her sister in Morristown:

YOU CAN DO

SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY!


Morristown Relief Society Service Projects:

This video is a powerful reminder of who we are as Relief Society Sisters and that this organization is truly the Lord's organization. If you haven't seen this Youtube video called "Relief Society: Something Extraordinary", please cut and paste this in your browser to watch it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqfCXBsXGfQ&feature=email

The Morristown Relief Society will be working through the Latter Day Saint Charities Humanitarian Services Director for the country Moldova to complete these projects. We aim to help babies in orphanages and women's shelters as well as a retirement home. You can see current photos as well as stories and photos of those in need at: TomandToniVanWormer.blogspot.com
