(grateful for my family) I am feeling more grateful for the gospel,
my family, and the little things that make our life comfortable.
I am grateful that I can hold my children, give them a hug,
and let them know how much they are loved - all things
that she longed for as a child.

During her presentation, she showed us the hygiene kit that was given to her over 15 years ago. It was in the original plastic bag. She held up the wash cloth, the comb and the toothbrush. She explained how this 1 kit served 25 women that she was with. It became her only possession and is her most treasured now.
If you get a chance to go to "Time Out for Women" this year, she may be a presenter and you will leave feeling more grateful for your family, the gospel, and the chance to serve others through the church's humanitarian efforts.

And her name is ... ?
Wondering how you were able to get her ? Somebody knows somebody or has she written a book ?
Wow-- that sounds like an incredible experience to have been a part of. I'll have to see if she comes to our TOFW.
Her name is Mariama Kollon...click on the word "this" in my post at the beginning and you can see her picture, too.
Our Stake RS Pres heard about her, emailed her, and our stake paid for her plane ticket to come. She said she speaks all over the country...
I remember making hygiene kits with my MIL just because. She always had the items on hand and would get everything out when we were all sitting around with nothing to do. Crazy thinking that something so simple could have such a profound impact.
