Our Saturday of Service

Last Sunday in Sunday school the teacher, Brother Wagner, began the lesson by bearing his testimony. He told us that his 12 year old daughter Lauren, was in ICU from having back surgery. :( Yes, 12 years old. My heart ached for this little girl while her father talked about it. She has Scoliosis and it was so bad that they put two rods along each side of her spine to straighten her spine out. The surgery went well, but the pain she was in put her in ICU. With tears in my eyes I told Nick that even though we didn't know this little girl, we HAD to so something to help. Brother Wagner didn't agree to us bringing dinner due to their unknown schedule. So, we simply got a GREAT card for her as well as homemade chocolate cookies. However, this was not the only delivery we made today. :( Steph Combado (the family that did our Vegas Reception for us) also had back surgery. I know... what's up with this crazy back surgery talk? It must be the thing to do. ;) I'm not quite sure what kind of surgery she has to have but we wanted their family to know that we love and care about them. It was fun to make the cookies and pick out the cute 'singing' cards. :) I hope that it lifted both of their spirits. :)
