Perhaps invite them to a "girls night out" and go watch a play at a (possibly outdoor) theater, your treat. <br /><br />Make a freezer dinner for everyone you know that is in their last 6 weeks or so of pregnancy. Sometimes they come early!<br /><br />Make some home-made ice cream (or other yummies) and ask your Bishop who would be a good family to share it with. Sometimes a treat can give a real boost people in need, as it's often very rare for them.<br /><br />Cross-stitch (not too hard to learn, if needed) a temple where someone was married, frame it, and give it to them. Maybe add initials or something cute. Probably for a family member or VT-ee.<br /><br />Offer to teach something you're competent in at a R.S. activity or somewhere else useful.<br /><br />Volunteer some time at a school.<br /><br />Color some happy pictures for small children. They often make pictures for us and are so proud of them, but they often love getting them in return. Particularly a child who you think might just benefit from the emotional boost of love and thought that it represents.<br /><br />Anyway, there's a few. Love your idea! We sure miss seeing you two!Matt Parkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224710061292919819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3854650885590742659.post-84742580244726049182010-07-28T15:46:07.610-06:002010-07-28T15:46:07.610-06:00Anne's suggestion was what I was going to sugg...Anne's suggestion was what I was going to suggest. I've recently been able to visit a blind widow in a nursing home a bunch (she's my visiting teachee now), and this is WAAAAAAYYYYY out of my comfort zone, but SOOOOOOOO rewarding. So my suggestion is to visit the lonely/elderly especially.<br /><br />Another suggestion: Knit a blanket for someone who needs it, like a homeless shelter, or battered woman's shelter. You can use your talents to serve!<br /><br />I'm excited for this Project!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196661815670656597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3854650885590742659.post-80332779340590033032010-07-28T11:37:58.265-06:002010-07-28T11:37:58.265-06:00Visit the lonely.

They've been together for 70 years and the only person he sees is the woman who delivers his boil-in-a-bag dinner. Heartbreaking!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13850881924137480368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3854650885590742659.post-84790156501691953962010-07-28T11:34:18.272-06:002010-07-28T11:34:18.272-06:00Great idea!
