"HOPE" by Sister Koroitamana

By

Heya Love!  

This week my companion and I have had lots of miracles happen as well as some heartaches. We've been receiving so many referrals of which we are so grateful for. This week we tried to contact most of them and we just had such great amazing, spirit filled lessons with them, We had a great member with us who shared a powerful testimony and we invited them to be baptized. 3 of our investigators accepted Baptismal Dates and we just felt soo good knowing that we really relied on the spirit and followed our promptings.I love my companion Sister Matheson. She and I really work well together and she always makes me laugh and she's really great at helping me to follow the spirit. I feel that in these lessons that we've had this week more than ever have I really learnt to trust and listen to and follow the spirit not only as we teach together but also as we go through out the day! I have really come to learn to trust and follow even the most subtle promptings. However small they maybe I have come to learn that the more we recognize and act on it the clearer it is and the more confident we will be in following those promptings. Sister Matheson is such a great example to me of that and she really helps me to follow my promptings. As we witnessed all these miracles happen in the beginning of the week we did our best to help these people get to church, although we tried to do all that we could none of them were able to make it and I just felt so sad and honestly a little discouraged. Sister Matheson talked about what else we could'v done to help them and it felt like there was really nothing else we could'v done on our part to help these people. I came home last night a little discouraged and honestly tired! not really knowing what else we could'v done to help these people. Then this morning during my personal Study I learnt about Hope in Preach My Gospel and it defined hope as a firm assurance in the Lord's promises that as we do our part he will do his. I was then led this this scripture in Moroni 7:41 that says:

And what is it that ye shall hope‍ for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope‍ through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise.

I thought alot about what it means to have hope in Christ and as I reflected I came to realize that it is in Christ and his Atonement that we should center our hopes in. I came to learn that Christ did what we couldn't do for ourselves or what seemed impossible to be done by man, He not only died for us but he also did rise again from the Dead making what was once impossible now  possible through Christ. I thought about that alot and came to the conclusion that we can center our hopes in Christ because only he can make all things possible if we just trust in him. I am grateful for this lesson and I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who allowed us have a Savior to help us. I am grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ who makes it possible for us to find hope and light even when things are hard. I am grateful for him. 

I love you!!!

'Telling the Truth' by Lesego Mholo

By
I'd rather be hurt by you telling me the truth than lies. Keep deceiving people and think they don't know. One day it will catch up with you. The truth hurts when its contrary to what your made to believe.  In one way or another lies always catch up with us, our consciousness doesn't let us lie for too long. Lying affects trust and loyalty in a relationship when your lied to you feel like you no longer belong you feel inadequate, telling the truth solidifies a relationship bond, and it might signify love or care; furthermore, telling the truth to me it tells that your emotionally mature. The truth makes me feel secure. Sometimes we give our hearts to people, and they think we are stupid for that we end up depending on them for loyalty. Truth is the only way two people can survive in a relationship and mutual understanding but reassurance and trust are the only things that might keep the relationship functioning. Dishonesty is the beginning of a fading relationship and...

“Let Go Off That Branch”

By
Once upon a time there was a man sitting on the top of a mountain, enjoying the gentle spring breeze and the beautiful scenery, including the tree and the rock that was behind him. Suddenly a strong gust of wind blew him off the mountain, and while falling he saw a branch sticking out so he grabbed it. Hanging off the side of the mountain like cliff hanger the man naturally began to pray, asking for God’s help and hears a voice that asks “Do you believe that I created that tree on the mountain?”. The man replies “yes I do, but I really need some help”. The voice then asks, “Do you believe that I created that rock on the mountain?” The man replies a little faster “Yes, I do now please! Help me!”. The voice then asks “Do you believe that I created the wind that blew you off the mountain?”. The man replies a little slower this time “……yes I do”, then the voice asks,” Do you believe that I can create another wind that will blow you right back up unto the mountain?”. The man replies, “Y...

Adventures with Eve (March 1, 2015)

By
     Early in a recent week, I was asked if I was going to the company Snow Day Party. I said that I was, but I only wanted to go if Eve and Ezra was coming with me. There was no time designated for dinner on Friday night, which confused and baffled my grandparents, but Eve and Ezra was able to come. We arrived about 6:30, and we had a good amount of time to enjoy the snow. We found a modest hill, and went down it a few times. After the kids got over it, we went to the barn before it got dark to wait for other members of the company to arrive. I found games to play like dominoes and scramble. The lights were dim. People were barely arriving at 8 o' clock.  I have a bunch of adventures with Eve to write about. The following list has most: scrabble on the night of the Snow Day Party, a run with a friend and her, making videos, a belated Valentine, reading a book, Cooking with Eve, a rock collection, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, playing video games, and more. I have som...
