We are so proud of Emma so we wanted to share the story of her candy bowl. As you know with all the fires there has been several hundred thousand evacuees. A hundred or so came to our stake center from another stake. I was making a stew a few days ago to contribute to dinner for the evacuees and Emma was helping. On the counter Emma noticed the bowl of Halloween candy for our upcoming ward Halloween carnival. She asked if we could take the candy to the people. She said, "Mommy the people are sad because they can't be in their homes right now. Candy will make them feel better." It was just a simple statement of fact and yet it was such a kind gesture. She is growing and maturing so fast!
