Story time all the time

Dear Lucy Luba!!

First of all, soon as I got Lucy, I was super excited because shes my type of girl, whether that be her love of history, books, or her impeccable taste in clothes I love all of her! I have myself been very into reading lately so I decided to go down that path and think of service involving reading. However, a few of my aunts and uncles know that I love writing as well, because whenever I am relaxing in there houses I will be writing. So I wanted to incorporate both aspects of literature; reading and writing. The idea came to me when I gave the kids I babysat often (pics of them below) journals that they can write a story in during their bedtime process, then give back to me so I can write in it and continue their story. I would then receive their stories back every Sunday where I will then return it with an even longer story. Now these girls would always want me to take them to primary and whenever I did they would be so excited and tell all their class that this is Dixie our babysitter. There class mates would ask me, why do they like YOU??  I decided then to give multiple primary kids journals so every Sunday they could partake in the same fun that I did with these kids, some of then would include pictures with there stories! The service part was not only the giving of the journals but also working with them when they wanted me to read what I wrote because some words were to hard for them to understand, practicing better writing flow, and how to make a story interesting. Reading their writings every time made me think of awesome Lucy Luba and how much shes loves literature.Though you may live on the other side of the country know that I love you, and I wish you a Merry Christmas!
