Why I Help OthersHeavenly Father blesses

me when I help others— not with money but with

wisdom and knowledge. I love to help and share what

I have with others.

Helping with HusksThe widows we visit use coconut husks to make fires to cook their food. When we take food to them, I remind my parents to take coconut husks too. I like to help to get the fire going!

Sharing Our FoodMy father grows crops, so we have

plenty to eat. But many widows (women whose husbands have died)

and other families don’t have their own crops. So we take them some of ours.

Malo e lelei!

I’m Lui, and I shine my light

by sharing what I have with

others.
