How I live my faith

I am currently an adult leader of a youth group in my ward, specifically over the girls ages 12-18, known as Young Womens. Along with two other ladies, I take turns teaching these girls gospel lessons on Sundays, and help them plan and carry out weekly meaningful and fun activities as a group, and occassionally with the boys their same ages. Some of those activities include playing sports and games, camping, doing yardwork for elderly people, learning cooking and other skills, making crafts, doing Humanitarian service, singing, making up and performing skits, sharing talents, etc. I also make visits to five ladies in my ward each month and keep in touch with them, which is called Visiting Teaching. During these visits I talk with them about important things in their lives, try to get to know them better, and share a spiritual message. I try to look after them and help as needed. I play the organ for our congregation on Sundays, and sing in church choirs when I can. I love the hymns of the gospel and the feeling of reverence they bring to our meetings, and that I receive as I participate. Recently I completed CERT (Comunity Emergency Response Team) training so I could help in my community in the event of a disaster. It was a great learning experience for me and I feel better prepared to help others as a result.
