Neighborly Angels

Jewels Olson, a hospital chaplain, and Dr. Reverend Marian Edmonds Allen tell us about watching good neighbors in action. Light the World is a campaign from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that runs every Christmas season, inviting people to contribute to their communities, locally and globally, in ways that will change people's lives. This year's Light the World theme is Be Someone's Angel and so our advent calendar will feature stories from some of our past guests about times when someone was an angel in their life, or when they were an angel for someone else.
