2013 Relief Society Anniversary

We had so much pressure during our preparation for the Stake Relief Society Anniversary but all went well! I'm so grateful for all the sisters who joined, give service, helped out and enjoyed before and during the activity.

I've realized and found a more clear understanding why the Lord wants us to participate with this kind of activities. I was able to know more about the sisters. I know its kind usual to you but for me it adds more meaning. I was able to love them more and appreciate them more. I'm so thankful for them. Their have been some down moments but we became more patience, more willing and more responsible.

Everyone shared their talents. And it helped a lot for the success of our presentation. We had problem with our costume accessory and one sister volunteered to crochet. She is so talented that she finished it all with time pressure. We had problem with our lower costume, and everyone find ways how to sew them. We helped each other to have wear our make ups on and also with the flowers. We also have sisters who helped prepare the food. We have worked together as Sisters in Zion!

If you want to laugh and enjoy, here's the video link:

SAN NICOLAS WARD_TAIWANESE ABORIGINE DANCE

Every time I watch this video, it makes me laugh. We are not so much talented in dancing. Our feet and hand really don't coordinate well. hehehe... But it's a good thing because I love them! We teach and encourage each others weakness to have more courage! I am really thankful and have enjoyed so much!

Receiving My Honor Bee..

I'm grateful for the Y.W. Personal Progress Honor Bee Program. By doing Honor Bee, I've learned so many things about SERVICE. I've learned giving a short and long term service.

Pres. Spencer W. Kimball once said,  
"We become more substantive as we serve others - indeed, it is easier to find ourselves because there is so much more of us to find."

Teaching someone to read, sharing and doing something for someone is such a great opportunity for me to learn more and discover something more about myself and such a great opportunity to be more closer to my Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ. 

I realized that on the later. At first I just want to teach someone, sharing something and do something for someone. But it is more than just that. I become more humble and I know that doing these things are not for myself but for the service of my King Jesus Christ. Just like what the scripture tells us.

Mosiah 2:17 And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God. 

Mosiah 2:16 Behold, I say unto you that because I said unto you that I had spent my days in your service, I do not desire to boast, for I have only been in the service of God.

By serving others, my ability to love others increases. I know how hard it is sometimes. But their is nothing impossible if we allow love to grow in our hearts.

I remembered my husband would tell me that if I am willing to teach someone to read, I should also be willing to be her friend. And I tell my husband, YES! And we did. We become friends and her family as well.

I learned to be more less selfish by sharing of what I have. Sharing is one way of service and one way to show our care and love. Doing personal progress has trained me to find opportunity that I can share and serve others. My understanding widen. And I feel my Savior's love around me...

And most especially, my love to study the scripture has grown. The spiritual knowledge that I gained was amazing. I gain testimony from it. I'm grateful to Heavenly Father for the scriptures. It has changed me a lot!
