\"Newborn<\/a>
Newborn Kit being used<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is a letter written by a Relief Society President in Bangkok.\u00a0 We don\u2019t always see how our \u201chelping hands\u201d help others.\u00a0 This letter gives us the other side of the story.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Thank you so much for sharing the baby kits with the needy in Bangkok.\u00a0 I understand your home ward in the States completed these kits upon learning of some of the needs in Thailand.\u00a0 How kind and thoughtful of those Relief Society Sisters!\u00a0 When I looked at the kits, I could tell how much time, effort, and love each contained.\u00a0 It was such a blessing to be able to share the kits with those in need.<\/p>\n

Not long after you shared the baby kits, this sweet baby was born.\u00a0 I was able to visit her mother and give her some needed items, including the lovely blanket and other items included in the newborn kit.\u00a0 She was so pleased!\u00a0 The parents are new converts to the church, and refugees from Cambodia.\u00a0\u00a0 They were struggling to provide the basic necessities for themselves and their newborn baby.\u00a0 They were so thankful to receive the newborn kit in their time of need.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I also passed along many of the kits to two of our LDS Charities missionaries serving as Thailand\u2019s country directors of the welfare work being done there.\u00a0 They were so excited to have the kits and looked forward to sharing them.\u00a0 LDS charities has been able to open doors in Thailand and foster some wonderful relationships with Bangkok officials.\u00a0 Each kindness and act of service continues to help officials see the true nature of the church and to look more favorably upon us.\u00a0 The gift of newborn kits will continue to help increase those good relationships, besides blessing many lives of mothers and babies in the beautiful \u201cLand of Smiles\u201d.<\/p>\n

Please pass along our heartfelt thanks to the Relief Society Sisters that donated their time and resources to provide these wonderful gifts of love to our Sisters in Thailand.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
