We were fortunate to have Devin and Ashley. our grandkids come before Christmas.  Devjn did a service project and brought toys, clothes and gifts to our people.  We were very hapy to have them stay with us for our Christmas Party,  We distributed gifts to all of our Branch Members and they helped up put together the packages and the quilts and blankets and deliver them to the Branch Members.

Playing games

Jarius and Janelle fell in love with Ashley and Devin.  They are not used to having someone to play with.  That is not done in the families on the Res.

Judy Yazzie- They are a great family that are
members of our Branch

Grandma Sellers.  She is 83 years old.  Note the progression
of the Arthritis in her hands.  Devin also helped her put
on a pair of new keds.  She was really happy for the support.
She has lost most of her toes.

Devin made Mr Sellers Bed with new sheets



Home of the pups

 While the Devin and Ashley were here we found some puppies at a house of one of the members that were away from home.  W went up each day and fed the pups.  They barely had their eyes open when we found them.

found

 Animals like the dogs are treated as things.  They would not think of allowing the dogs in the house and each of them have 6 or 7.  For the most part the dogs are left to feed themselves.

St George Group

 We had a group from St George that brought food, Gifts, clothes, tissue and they served us our dinner at the Christmas Party.  This is some of the items that they brought to us.
It took us three days to sort through these clothes and deliver them to those that we knew needed warm coats, clothes and sweatshirts.  Toilet tissue is another very popular item that we now carry in our car.

We fed 175 people at the Christmas dinner including our guests from St. George.  We had 40 non-members that came. 
At Thanksgiving we served 107 people at that dinner.  We have made a little progress with the people in the area.  The remember that we care about them and it is fun to realize that this has not been done by any other Anglo's.  They still remember Devin and Ashley when we go back to visit them.
