Drive-Thru Rescue (Jadey Price)

Jadey's mom shared this story with me:

We parked by a drive through and Jadey jumped out of the car while I was on the phone. I looked to see what she was doing. The lady paying at the drive through had dropped a bill. It was blowing away. Jadey ran and grabbed it. She returned it to the lady and informed me it was a $50 bill. 

Jadey!  You go girl!  :)

Cookie Deliveries (by Kari Wendt)

The 3rd ward had a great Mia Maid activity last night. The girls decorated cookies and then took them around to families in our ward including some new families that just moved in and they didn't know. I thought it was good that they brightened some people's day (well, night).  In fact, they even invited out a new family to church and told them what time church started. I was so proud of them and it was a lot of fun!

Taking Care of Grandma (by Natasha Schartz)

A while back ago my mom had to take care of my grandma for my aunt Claudia.... My mom has been doing this for the past-- I don't know how many days-- but she is amazing. One day she was so tired and she just wanted to sleep. I went down stairs to tell her something and she then just realized that she was a couple minutes late to take care of my grandma. As she was telling me this I told her to go to bed and I will go over and take care of grandma.  She said "no I'm ok" and "thanks for asking."  Being the person that I am I told her to lay her little bum down and go to sleep and I will take care of her.  She was about to say something and I just ignored her and I left.  She went to bed and I headed to my grandmas house. I came home and my mom came up to me and she gave me a great big hug and said "thank you for taking care of grandma your an amazing daughter. I LOVE YOU!!!!"  I am so happy that I did that for my mom because she really needed the sleep.  She is such an amazing mom that she does everything for me and my family, and I decided to do something for her.

Cats Need Love Too (by Kimberly Clark)

One act of service that stands out in my mind was when a good friend of mine called and needed me to come over and examine a wound on her cat. I am a Veterinary Technician and work many long hours taking care of injured and sick animals. This particular day I was over 1 1/2 hrs late from work and it had been and especially exhausting and trying day. She had called me earlier and I had not had time to call her back. I called her when I clocked out, came home, took a couple of my children with me and went to see what was wrong. I spent a wonderful time enjoying my friends company and helping to bandage a wound on her little cats leg. What a great moment in time, I was doing the things that I love most, spending time with those I love. serving them and loving an animal.

Lots of Service Moments! (by Jordan Clark)

I painted my moms toenails after I rubbed her feet.  

I also mowed the lawn for my older brother. 

Later on I helped my grandma take her canned tomatoes in her house and I did the same thing for my mom later that day. 

A little while later I helped my mom peel and can pears with some other siblings. 

After that I picked up the backyard so the sprinklers could go on without any bikes , toys or other objects stop it from hitting all the spots on the lawn. 
When school started I comforted my cousin after she lost her pet hamster.
