How I live my faith

Currently I am the pianist for the Relief Society meeting on Sundays, as well as the Assistant Cub Master for the Boy Scouts. They are somewhat small ways to contribute to the ward, but I feel them strengthen me as I serve and it helps me feel good to play a contributing part to our 'ward community'.

I am also a visiting teacher to a couple ladies in our ward. My visiting teaching companion (another woman from the ward I go with to visit) and I go and visit two others and chat with them once a month, at least. We share experiences and talk about the gospel, as well as get to know each other and become friends. It's always amazing to me how different each of their lives are. One woman we visit has been married one year, and has been with her husband a total of two months out of that year because he is a soldier and has been deployed for the rest of the time. She is so brave and strong to make that sacrifice. Another young woman we visit is single and in college, and works three jobs! She is a great example of tenacity. I love the community our ward offers us. We are a nice little family here, which is great for me because my family lives in another state. We love our ward!
