Relief Society Service Project


On Sunday, August 31, the Relief Society planned and executed a wonderful service project at the Montgomery Village Care & Rehabilitation nursing home. About 15 sisters, Sisters Kwun and Hamblin, 4 young women, and one young men brought good cheer to about 15 seniors in wheelchairs. They sang some beautiful songs. Then one by one each of the sisters and the young women read a thoughtful quote or scripture and presented a specially wrapped gift to one of the seniors. The opportunity to serve others here echoed the teaching by Jesus in Matthew 25:40, which says, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." Thanks to the Relief Society President for planning this successful activity, and thanks to those who came to support it.

Young Boy Hugs President Bush

A few days ago (on August 8, 2008) at the opening of the new US Embassy in China, a young boy approached President Bush while he was visiting at the event and called him, "Mr. President." President Bush then picked him up and was hugged by this young boy. The two photos are on the internet at the White House web site:

What made this special for our branch is that this young boy is our branch's very own Asher Sevy. Asher moved to China last month with his parents, Travis and Lindsay, and his sister, Mayah. We missed them very much. But we are comforted to hear news from them so soon and are even more honored to know that he is now a celebrity. For, how many parents can say that their son has hugged the President of the United States? Way to go, Asher! Have fun, Sevy family, in China! 'Til we meet!
