Our October 22 meeting was moving and inspirational. Our visitor was Mamiko, a representative from Operation Christmas Child. She spoke with the girls about the process of how the shoeboxes came about and went over the process of how they end up across the world. She showed the girls a video with the latest American Idol winner Scotty McCreery, who showed us how to fill a shoebox. The girls worked on putting together prayer bracelet kits that can be included in our shoeboxes.
The girls also participated in a ceremony in which they pledged to go out and be a Light for Jesus. Upon acceptance of the pledge they lit a candle. Very touching.
Our scriptures for this meeting were:
Matthew 6:1 Be careful not to do your acts of righteousness before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
and
John 8:12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.
