Have you ever painted sugar cookies? Me neither. Our good friends the Cooks invited us over to show us how its done and we had a really fun time showing off our creativity. The missionaries came over too and helped us paint enough cookies to give away with the copies of the Book of Mormon we were delivering later.
I asked Jenna who we should give it to today and she picked our neighbors two houses down. Cally was the first person to welcome us to Orly Place after we moved from South Prestwick. She brought us this delicious rice dish that had curry and coconut in it. Yum! Shes the type of person who decorates everyone's mailboxes with balloons to celebrate the last day of school. She genuinely cares about people and tries to help anyone she can. Every morning at the bus stop Cally walks by with a happy greeting and smile. Its something I look forward to everyday.
We walked over as a family. I was a little embarrassed when their kids opened the door along with the neighbor kids from Dec 1. Now they know I gave them both a Book of Mormon. Would they think it was weird that I was giving out these books to the neighborhood? I hope that with the personal notes I wrote each one they will see that I really wanted to share something that was important to me with each of them. Will they talk about me? Maybe. . . and maybe that will spark conversation and questions about the Book of Mormon?

It was such a fun night filled with yummy cookies!
You inspired our family too, which is why we wanted to have you over to make cookies. We wanted to give a book away too!
You are an amazing example!
