How I live my faith

I am grateful to be a member of a church which gives us many opportunites to serve. It has been a great blessing to have lived in other countries where I have seen this service bless the lives of many. Service in the community is important to me. As we lived in different countries our children attended international schools where I loved being involved in the Parent organizations. I enjoyed getting to know people from many cultures and varied backgrounds as we all served together to better the school experience for our children. In our church I have been able to serve children by teaching lessons, music, and enjoying activities together. I have also had the opportunity to serve in the women's organization through visiting and caring for individual sisters and participating in meetings where we learn about the gospel. Now I am serving the young women ages 12-18 by teaching and guiding them to understand God's blessings for them. It is an incredible experience to see the goodness and strength of these young women. In a world which sends mixed messages about who they are and what they should do they are grounded in knowing that they are daughters of God and that He loves them. They see the example of Jesus Christ as a direction in their lives. They learn to set goals and develop talents which will help them in their future. Through the experiences of interacting with wonderful people and serving others in the church and community, my life has been greatly enriched.
