Jarom’s Helping Hands
Jarom has three little dogs. One of his jobs is to feed them each day. He loves them very much. Jarom is also a good listener and a missionary. When he learned that his friend’s grandfather died, Jarom called his friend. Jarom listened to him. He also comforted him and told him about Heavenly Father’s plan for us.
Jarom wants his friends to be happy. He often talks to them about the Church and invites them to meetings and activities. “When you pray, remember your friends and family,” Jarom says. “Ask to know how you can help them.”
