While on a mission team trip to Townsend, Montana to help the Elkhorn Community Fellowship get started, Elaine and I were given the assignment to read books to babies. We met with two other team members (Bobbi Ebert and Suzanne Mulling) in a special room in the elementary school library. Four mothers and one grandmother brought in their little ones for us to play, sing, and read books to.
We had a great time getting out the toys and playing with them on the floor. I read several block books to them and led in singing "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," "Up Sunshine Mountain," and "Old Macdonald had a Farm" Each mother got to pick a farm animal for us to mimic. After two hours everyone left with happy smiles and warm thank yous for sharing our time with them.
