Jamie shares with everybody!

If there is one thing that I have learned while living in Wallsburg is to love the humble people that live up the street from me. I walk pass their houses almost every day. They are a mixture of different fathers and mothers. One father has been out of work since December and he still doesn't see anything in the future. One mother left several years ago and hasn't ever returned. One home has a grandma that is 96 and she went to the hospital today in the same trusty ambulance that Kelly traveled in. There are three generations of women trying to care for their family. I love these people. Jamie shared clothes with me when she was leaving Utah. I called my little friends the other day and they came in a flash. I laid out all the clothes on my bed and couch. They were so thrilled! The two boys Lance and Colby loved the boxers ever though they were 10 sizes too big. They picked out two of my t shirts and felt thrilled. Mary Dee loved all the tank tops, I am trying to get her to wear them under things. Alex gathered everything possible that was big enough for her two sisters, mom, and grandma. The maternity things were a hit with them. Sweet Virginia is my favorite. She is the little girl in the Secret of Bees. That is why I cry so hard every time I see the movie. She keeps getting passed around. I want her. Nicole is trying to learn to read, not an easy task for her! She was the most thrilled with the darling blue PJs. They all are waving to you Jamie to say thank you for the much appreciated stash. They all went home with one or two plastic grocery bags stuffed with clothes. The next morning they showed up on my porch with their new dudes on. So proud and feeling so fine. Thanks for the party Jamie! Won't the Millenium be wonderful when we can all be the same. . . there will be enough and to spare. When everyone will be gathered in. . . no hunger. . . no sickness just peace and plenty of love.

Anyone would be lucky to get any of Jamie's fashionables! And yes she is always so generous on passing on her treasures. I have 4 bags full myeself of her clothes. I wear one of her several outfits she gave me to church each week and think of her. Mom you are so good to think about others. Walsberg has been a mission for you in more than a million ways. They will always remember your goodness!
