We were surrounded by angels last night!
Our youth were asked to provide mutual for 300 Special Needs Angels!
It was incredible!!!!
The spirit was unreal!
It was a once in a lifetime moment that We will Cherish FOREVER!
We were blessed to be apart of such glorious group!
We provided three activities...
First we cut out felt stockings for them to thread and glue cotton balls at the top.
Second we brought Scripture Countdown to Christmas Chains!
Third we brought music pipes and they played the notes and sang Christmas carols
.
We then gathered all together and we provided bells for each of the special youth and contacted Santa Claus to come and wish these sweethearts a Merry Christmas! He gave them each a candy cane and made sure they were still at the top of his nice list and boy did they take that VERY seriously!
Oh my goodness they we SOOOOOOOOOOO excited an it was so sweet!
We then passed out clementines and mingled!
Our highlight of the evening was when Scott found our good Buddie Dustin! He is our families Buddie. Scott has known him since he was born.
We are so blessed to have a special friend like Dustin! Dallin adores him and his journal entry last night went on and on about his Buddie Dustin and how he can hardly wait to see him on Sunday!
Dallin also wrote the most sincere statement in his entry...
"I love the special spirits! When you meet one, you are there best Friend....FOREVER! I Love Dustin!"
As you can tell by All our grins it was an amazing night that lifted you up to soar with Angels!!!
Sunday we will be privileged to have them attend our ward and present our sacrament meeting!Again I was blessed in ways I do not deserve but I am so grateful my Heavenly Father gave me and my family this opportunity to be among His choice spirits for a brief moment in time..in a world that seems to forget to often what is truly important!

I'm glad it went so well! I know you spent a lot of time preparing and I'm happy that time paid off. I hope you get to relax a tiny bit before New Beginnings.

You are an amazing woman and family. I enjoyed the sacrament program so much. I have the most tender place in my heart for all of God’s special Angels. You will be so blest for giving the youth this amazing opportunity that will stay with them for the rest of their lives. You inspire me!!
