The last day before Winter Break, we had an excellent experience- we received "A Gift of Books."Mrs. Malewicki, from Milwaukee, WI, is a friend of Sister Patrice's. She sent us Amazon gift money to purchase books about careers and areas of interest.
A group of elders, all who are Sisters of the Divine Savior (S. Patrice's group) also sent us gift money for books. These women like to read all kinds of books. Some of them were nurses and some were teachers when they were younger.
We each selected several books we liked from Amazon and learned how to decide which version and whether we wanted a new or used book. (Used books are cheaper).
We found books about our hobbies (like reading horror stories!) and about our future career interests. Some of us decided to also buy books to give to others in our family as holiday gifts.
We are really enjoying our books, and we sent them a variety of notes to thank them for the gift of reading!
