Sweet Sisters at the Developmental Center

The turkey line-up!

One of the most rewarding things we have done as a stake Relief Society presidency is providing activities a few times a year for the Relief Society sisters at the Developmental Center.

The sisters are so loving and appreciate anything you do for them.

My counselor, Valerie Blain with one of the sisters.

She loves her turkey! We also helped them make fleece scarves with fringe and beads followed up with milk and cookies!

Abby Manuela is the president of the Developmental Center ward in my stake. She is genuine, kind, sweet and devoted. She has been serving for over 12 years. Many of the sisters do not have any family support and are in group homes around the area. Abby and her counselors pick up some of the sisters who do not have transportation and bring them to the church for Relief Society every Wednesday night. They adore Abby as they would their own mother.
