This is the day to remember that God sent us to visit the Newark Correction Center for celebrating Christmas with brothers and sisters that we had never met before.
Before I left home, I talked to Kylie that she had to be good and stayed home with her sister and brother because mommy had to visit people in jail.
She worried and said"Why? You will stuck there."
"No, I am going to celebrate Christmas with them with songs and ringing handbells and hope to bring God's message to them."
"Mommy, you will be trapped inside so I don't want you to go" she concerned.
Without God's love, I wouldn't be able to take this step and walked into the correction center. With an outdated GPS we made a wrong turn but still made it. We had about 40 sisters and brothers participated the Christmas Caroling and everyone were so exciting to serve on this service.
Seeing so many young faces sit there and watched our service, I was very sad and paryed for God to forgive their sin and bring them back to normal life soon.

Thanks for Elder Lee's kindness for preparing dinner for us. Megan had spent days and nights wrapping 100 gifts for this service.
