Oh my goodness, we LOVE this video! A friend shared it with us today and we're so grateful! Sophi walked in as I was watching it, and one of the boys without arms was playing the piano. She exclaimed, "That's my FRIEND! Now I have three friends. 'Cause there's that one girl and then Tisha and that boy playing the piano. I have so many friends!!" (:
On a sadder note, we have a neighbor who is missing. Brooklyn is in Taylor's Sunday School class and in Young Women's with Graci. Our whole community has rallied together-- it's been amazing to watch everyone do what they can to help. When I was out with the search and rescue today, I talked to people from as far north as Bountiful who had come to volunteer. Hundreds of people showed up. It's heartwarming to know that there are so many caring people out there-- and yet, our hearts are heavy right now as a big storm has rolled in and there still aren't any leads that we know of. Taylor, Parker, Graci and Cali joined the youth in our ward to hang yellow ribbons all over her home tonight. They are all very concerned. Please pray for Brooklyn and her family.

ReplyDeleteChristianne, THANK YOU for sharing this video - absolutely touched my heart!!! This could have very easily been your family making this video. We admire you every day!
ReplyDeleteMilo (age 5, born without arms) would love to be Sophi's friend too! We showed him the video of her doing daily tasks that you posted a while back, and he was very excited. He came home from Anhui Province in Sept 2011. :-D It's jarkomatsu@earthlink.net if you ever want to get in touch.
