Hey guys,
So, because Lenoir is SO tiny, and because of the fact that industrialization has moved overseas, there is a lot of poverty in Lenoir. As the leaders met before youth group, I found out that 97% of one of the elementary schools in our area is on the free lunch and free breakfast plan, isn't that sad? Anyways, as a youth group tonight, we were able to make four of those impoverished children's dream come true, because instead of shopping for ourselves this holiday season, we went out with 30 middle school and high school students to go buy presents for these kids. It was so very cool to see just how excited these students were to help others, it was so heartwarming to me! This right here, THIS is the reason for the season :)
<3 Always,
Rose
