To Denim from Leland

                For my Christmas Service, I took extra care of Ernie. Denim is the youngest in her family, and Ernie is the youngest in my family. I change Ernie’s diaper, played with him, and cuddled him while Mom and Dad napped, worked, etc.

                I also met a new friend and got to know her. Denim has had to move several times in the past. I would find it hard to make and keep close friends when moving a lot. So, I tried to make a new friend. I sat by Ava every day at lunch, when I could. I talked to her, and I eventually invited my other friends to come and sit with Ava and me at lunch. I found out that Ava also had to move a lot for her mom’s work, and that she had never been in one place for more than two years. Ava and I are now good friends, and I am looking forward to getting to know her more.

Love,

Leland
