Delivery of toys to the Children

Thank you for our cool toys we really like them

The little girl has never had a doll to play with she is 6 years old she was very happy to get this darling stuffed animal fish. We are working on getting her a dolly soon.  The boy has 2 brothers which both got a car.  Now they can race them.  

He is showing the wooden cars he picked for the 2 small boys that live in the house with him. We left a stuffed animal with the baby boy to play with.


These children are cousins. They all live together in this one home 34 people live here during the school year. Most of these little girls don't even have a doll to play with so the stuffed animals were a big hit with them.


This lovely lady has many grand-children, the kids were very happy to seen the toys. Each children received one whether it be a stuffed animal or a wooden car.

"Bring the love" here in Chuuk

Okay ya'll this event is asking for donations to "Bring the love" here in Chuuk.

As many of you know we need a lot of help here.
For those of you that have not been here ~ Chuuk is located about 600 miles southeast of Guam. Chuuk State consists of 11 mangrove-fringed islands in the Chuuk Lagoon, and a series of 14 outlying atolls and low islands surrounding the lagoon. The main islands, Weno, Tonoas, Uman and Fefan are located in the Chuuk Lagoon. 
Of Chuuk's population of around 53,000, more than 40,000 live on islands in the lagoon.

Commerce is limited here, if not impossible. To purchase items, when or if you can, it might be VERY EXPENSIVE. Other than the local food everything must be imported, so everything depends on the container shipping companies.

The Chuukese people are some of the most loving, honest, charitable people in the world. They will help everyone even if they need it themselves first.

Bringing the Love was created by experienced volunteers for people who are eager to travel and contribute to the communities, wildlife, and environment they visit.

We know that many people are looking for an opportunity to help some how but are just not sure where or who to turn to. We could use your help with "Bringing the Love" to Chuuk.
This is the first project in this area and hopefully there will be many more each year.

We are hoping you will pick one of these choices and invite others to take part. If you want pictures of the children receiving your donation that is not a problem we will be happy to do that along with a thank you note.

Things that we are hoping to get donated here are - - -
Gently used or new clothing all sizes for males; dark color long pants, white shirts with collar, dress ties.
Gently used or new baby clothing - all types and sizes.
Reading glasses - sizes 100 - 200

Christmas Season is approaching

As the Christmas Season Approaches you may be finding yourself trying to find ways to help your family focus on the true meaning of Christmas. 

During the month of December we turn our thoughts to the Savior. We reflect on his glorious birth and what his life meant to each us personally. 

It is a time to commit to living a more Christlike life. It is the time to show our love and appreciation to our loved ones, our neighbors, or to the kind people we come in contact with on a daily basis.

It's a wonderful time of year when we gather in the kitchen to make holiday treats to take to these special friends and neighbors. These traditions that we share with our families help to teach our children the true meaning of Christmas. 

"I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your god. " Mosiah 2:17

What better way to celebrate the birth of our Savior then to serve him.
