My Talents Make Me Special

Everyone has their own special talents that are unique to them and everyone uses them differently.  I try use my talents to join the conversation online. I join the conversation online by posting mormon messages or my testimony on my facebook. I have lived in three different countries and most of my friends from there are Mormon. However, not all of them are.  I like to think that they read or watch the messages I put on my facebook. I try use some of my talents by trying to always be open to questions they might have.  I don't know if I am converting anyone but I do feel like I am influencing others to do good. If that is all I am doing then I am still proud of my work.

Be An Example

" You have a great opportunity to be a powerful force for good in the Church and in the world. There is truth in the old adage that “the pen is mightier than the sword.” In many cases it is with words that you will accomplish the great things that you set out to do."

          One of the best ways to be a missionary is to be an example. I have witnessed many miracles because someone has been an example. My grandpa was one of the best examples I have had in my life. He fully converted to the gospel and never looked back once he knew it was true. He was a teacher and because of his words many people have better lives. He was never afraid of telling a stranger about the church and sharing with them his testimony. My grandpa is my example of helping others with our words.

"Every disciple of Christ will be most effective and do the most good by adopting a demeanor worthy of a follower of the Savior. Discussions focused on questioning, debating, and doubting gospel principles do little to build the kingdom of God."

          I don't know about you but I know that I get frustrated very easily. It is always hard for me to calmly sit back and listen to someone bashing my beliefs. However, I have seen the effects that a calm conversation can do. It is something I believe we can all work on. As a disciple of God we need to do all we can to build His kingdom. If that is swallowing our frustration then so be it. We all have things that we can work on to create a better example for others.   

 

My Perfect Day

My perfect day would begin by waking up without the help of someone else. I would be able to lie in bed until I felt ready for my day to start. I would then eat my dad’s lovely bacon or sausage omelets and eventually return to my room to read a fantastic book or finish an art project. When I was done there I would Skype my family in South Africa to get the latest gossip of my soap opera family. As soon as the call would end, my mom would have magically appeared with a Café Rio chicken salad. While munching on the salad I would watch the latest addicting NCIS marathon with my sisters. I would spend the rest of the day with my family. For dinner I would have a steak with loaded mash potatoes. So in a nutshell my perfect day would be me just getting fat.
