So Saara's church did this thing that's real nice, they kinda adopted a family to try to make this Christmas very special. They were some Asian family that came over because the wife needed an open heart surgery of some sort and they didn't really have the money to actually stay. The kid they have is 10 years old but doesn't know English at all so she's in Kindergarten and the dad isn't able to work here because he's not a citizen.
Well what they did is just to buy them gifts and surprise them and bought them a tree and many presents there was a list that they've created on things they needed and wanted. I wanted to help so I bought some things for them too like some clothes and just some basic toiletries. We decided today will be the day to surprise them at their apartment, the apartment was in a shady side of Des Moines. They had neighbors you can hear arguing and it was kinda scary but when we arrived at the door with presents and a Christmas tree they were thrilled. It was very difficult because they didn't know English and the father seems like he has a lot to say but really couldn't because of the language barrier. It was a good feeling but it was kind of odd because we completely just came without them knowing but knowing that they'll have a great Christmas just makes all the better.
